Nigel Farage breaks with his Welsh leader over insurance system for the NHS Reform UK’s Welsh leader Dan Thomas told POLITICO he would rule out moving to an insurance-based system after Nigel Farage said it would be a “national decision ahead of a general elect…

#bbcaq
Reform UK Ltd would privatise the #NHS.
Correction: The Welsh leader told a lie, but that used car salesman Nigel Farage tried to gaslight everyone.
Their national plan is to introduce an insurance-based system.

"You're talking about Keir Starmer resigning for moral reasons, but what Churchill did wasn't moral."

Absolutely! Replace that man with a badger STAT. #bbcqt

Jesus Christ, the way Fiona Bruce keeps talking over Siân Berry is atrocious. The moderator’s meant to host the debate, not wrestle it to the floor. Feels like Fiona’s short-circuiting because there’s no Reform UK panellist tonight #BBCQT

Oh FUCK OFF FIONA. Green policy is to work within NATO. Do you not have a lackey at the BBC who knows how to use google?

Should we be looking for other alliances? Absolutely.

You don't talk about voter ID and then randomly start babbling about 6 year old girls being "of age" unless there's something seriously wrong with you.

Donald Trump needs a subpoena for his ties with Jeffrey Epstein NOW.

I, for one, cannot understand why men like Rupert Lowe are opposed to banning X, despite it assisting sex offenders, paying people to invite the foreign powers to invade the U.K, and allowing state-sponsored cyber warfare against our democracy.

It's a real mystery...🤔

I’m sure Indian billionaire, Sunny Varkey, wants to give Farage a ton of cash to improve the lives of the people of Clacton.
And definitely not to lobby for crypto or fossil fuels or to have first dibs on the firesale of British assets (eg the NHS) that Farage is bartering for power.
FFS wake up UK.

“The righteous mission for which they gave their lives…” spoken by a slurring septuagenarian from his private resort in Palm Beach. A man so weak & morally bankrupt he hides out in Florida instead of facing a nation he has lead into infamy & rot. The worst POTUS in any lifetime.

Just caught Donald Trump's speech on #SkyNews - staggering & terrifying in equal measure

I know he wants the world to stop talking about #EpsteinFiles, but this won't distract everyone for too long

I notice #Newsnight asked Labour MP in the studio whether Keir Starmer was going to resign after losing #GortonAndDenton by-election

No one on any news channel asked when Kemi 'truly' Bad Enough was being binned off - first time they'd lost their deposit with just ~700 votes, over 8k behind Labour

Hannah Spencer, Green Party wins Gorton and Denton byelection, beating Reform UK's racist idiot Matt Goodwin by 4,402 votes. Not even close

Was going to do a joke post about Chris Mason saying "a historic night for Reform as they finish ahead of Labour, what does this teach us about the white working class in the north? Also, the Greens won" but too many of you would, sensibly, assume it was real.

They stood up for a lie.

When Trump said, “The tariffs are paid for by foreign countries,” they rose and applauded.

They know the data. About 96 percent of tariff costs are paid by American importers and consumers. You. Businesses. Higher prices.

And still they clap.👏

If he won't go to USA to face justice ... Why not put Andrew Mountbatten Windsor in a hut on islet of Rockall in Atlantic Ocean?

Sick of hearing about him, he's been an archetypal wrong 'un all his life

Bin him off NOW

By the time he’s done, I’ll bet that at least a quarter of the national debt will just be money he stole.
