A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...
78% are murdered by a partner/ex
Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this
Not once have I heard them back measures to protect womenβs safety
In fact, they voted against them...
Elon Muskβs latest tweets inciting violence in the UK should serve as the final evidence needed for the government to take action against the billionaire

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

None of the far right news outlets have told them Reform won't fund their NHS on Tax money though.
Matt Goodwin is rapidly becoming a caricature of himself. His shouty rants on #bbcqt last night did him
no favours. From being a World expert on populism, heβs now one of its keenest exponents.
Well said Lisa Nandy!
Reform have no real answers to anything.
They just create fear, distrust and chaos!

Letting agency used by Reeves apologises, saying it's to blame for rental licence error The lettings agency involved in Rachel Reevesβ rental arrangements said it had apologised to her for an βoversightβ that led to a failure to obtain a licence. Gareth Martin, owner of Harvey Wheeler, said: We alert all our clients to the need for a licence. In an effort to be helpful our previous property manager offered to apply for a licence on these clientsβ behalf, as shown in the correspondence. That property manager suddenly resigned on the Friday before the tenancy began on the following Monday. Unfortunately, the lack of application was not picked up by us as we do not normally apply for licences on behalf of our clients; the onus is on them to apply. We have apologised to the owners for this oversight. At the time the tenancy began, all the relevant certificates were in place and if the licence had been applied for, we have no doubt it would have been granted. Our clients would have been under the impression that a licence had been applied for. Although it is not our responsibility to apply, we did offer to help with this. We deeply regret the issue caused to our clients as they would have been under the impression that a licence had been applied for.
Oh, look at this - the letting agents apologise for NOT applying for the rental license & say Rachel Reeves would have been under the impression the license HAD been applied for.
Can we have the apologies now from everyone who have been absolutely obnoxious today in their handling of the story?
Matthew Goodwin was once a respected academic, whose specialism was the rise of populism. His membership of, and passionate support for Reform, demonstrates his use of populism in the worst sense.

The mainstream media seem to be going all out to discredit Rachel Reeves, despite evidence to the contrary. Even βrespectableβ journalists are leaping on the bandwagon because it boosts their ratings. Meanwhile, the Tory leader has made herself look stupid.
