Latest Reform competence update.

Labelled “a threat to public safety” by the Fire Brigades Union

Since taking charge of the council, they have…

Failed to sign off budgets
Failed to govern and lead the fire service
Not met with the Fire Service who they’re are responsible for

Farage has registered a total of £280,500 for four hours a month as a brand ambassador for a company selling gold bars.

He thinks £10 an hour minimum wage for young people may need to be lowered.

Whose side do you think he is on?

Nigel Farage now says his tax cut pledges at the election were “only ever aspirations”.

Hmmm…

All the commentators calling for Reeves to resign don’t seem to realise they’re unwittingly calling for their hero Farage to resign based on their logic.

You can’t make up the stupidity.

For people defending Stephen Yaxley Lennon, can you tell me what’s patriotic about being paid to fly to another country to talk your own country down?

🤨🤨

Genuinely laughing at the taxpayers expense...

Odd that Chris Philp refuses to call Reform out for racist language.

Shows the Conservatives lack of identity and principles in that they’re worried by doing so, they’ll annoy Reform.

Sums it up pretty well

Interesting that the Green Party and Reform both have quickly increasing membership and leaders who are outspoken and high profile, yet only one gets blanket media coverage.

Why is that?

So Gary Neville is apparently a traitor despite employing 600 Mancunians, paying all his taxes and opening his hotel to front line workers during COVID lockdowns.

Sounds like much more of a patriot than those who criticising him who just spend their time talking the UK down.

Interesting that the YouGov poll shows Brits tend to think it was the right decision to ban fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv from attending the Aston Villa match, a fixture classified by West Midlands Police of being 'high risk'

Right decision: 42%
Wrong decision: 28%

It really is simple. Stephen Yaxley Lennon isn't a political prisoner, he's a racist with criminal convictions who is only interested in himself, not the UK.

Well, this is awkward for Reform…

More questions to answer about Nathan Gill and Russia?

How do people think they can be free speech warriors, yet want people fired for speaking their mind?

Gary Neville said let’s“get back to a country of love, peace and harmony"

What does anyone object to about that?

How to lose friends and alienate people

Incredible how all the commentators are jumping on Gary Neville, yet they had no questions about how Farage paid for his Clacton house or Gill’s links to Russia.

Almost like they can only process the bits of the truth they like…

Stephen Yaxley Lennon.

Convicted for…
- assaulting an officer in 2005
- assault at a neo-Nazi rally in 2011
- football hooliganism in 2011
- using a false passport in 2013
- mortgage fraud in 2014
- contempt of court in 2019
- stalking a woman in 2021
- libel in 2024

What a patriot.

An appreciation post for Maia Sandu.

Stands up for democracy and stood up to Moscow. The more leaders like her, the stronger Europe will be.

Whatever people think, Rachel Reeves is right when she says this.

The greatest threat to working people’s way of life is Nigel Farage and Reform. When Labour delivers an upgrade to workers’ rights, Reform try to block it. When Labour stands with allies, Reform sides with Putin.

Trying to catch Starmer out on buying a field when there were hardly any questions about Farage’s Clacton house is quite the irony

#bbclaurak

Reform UK's former leader in Wales has admitted taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia while being a Member of the European Parliament.

Yet this is the party of patriotism apparently?

Respect Ange for showing working class people can make it in politics and inspiring many

Stunning to see so many people praising Farage for flying to another country to attack his own country.

Increased instances of this is partly a result of Farage and divisive media rhetoric. Division benefits their narrative.

The irony is the nurse has contributed far more to society through her work than these two ever will.

Interesting polling from More in Common on Lucy Connolly

More than half think sentence was too lenient or about right. Only a third it was too harsh. Only 18% think politicians should associate themselves her, 51% think they should distance themselves from her

Lessons for Reform and Conservatives?

So Reform, the so called champions of free speech, on the back of their Nottingham Live ban debacle now say they would consider banning “any other media outlet” which they “consider to be consistently misrepresenting” them.

Is that democracy? Free speech works both ways.

Now is the time for Labour to take on Farage, before the media narrative becomes too hard to reverse.

Brexit has cost the UK 4% of GDP, his Net Zero scrapping is unworkable, his deportation plans unfeasible and his economics a fantasy.

Obvious targets - they need to use them.

When will the media realise that just because Farage says something is an emergency, it doesn’t mean it’s the gospel truth and needs to be covered like that.

Why are people wilfully pushing misinformation that the government sentence and lock people up - we don’t have political prisoners and we should be glad about it.

They should look at countries where governments do lock people up and feel glad the UK isn’t like that.
