Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this.

At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

My takeaways from Virginia Guiffre’s new book on the sexual abuse she says she suffered at the hands of Epstein, Maxwell, & Prince Andrew (which he denies)

Ed Davey, "We're proud of our country unlike Nigel Farage who goes to America and says that we're like North Korea"

Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy

Farage is whipping up anger against the ECHR with false claims. As The Bear brilliantly writes: “The ECHR [is] the foundation that protects you from your own government.”

That's why leaving the ECHR would be a Really Bad Idea.

DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT #FARAGE ALWAYS BEING ON TV IF YOU HAVEN'T SIGNED THIS PETITION !!!

DO IT!!!!!

RT and thankyou for your attention to this matter! 😰

Lib Dems eye Labour-held cities as they target 'seats not votes' The party wants to focus more on the cost of living to appeal beyond the southern heartands - with Labour's misfortunes providing an opportunity in urban areas.

Support for Labour is paper thin, their election victory last year was based on less than 34% of the popular vote. The @libdems.org.uk could become the progressive choice with policies free of political dogma and vested interests. A people focused compassionate politics.

I’ve often wondered why Nigel Farage, who as godfather of the Brexit fiasco engineered the biggest British foreign policy disaster since Suez is continually offered so much space in some newspapers and broadcast media. Serious question. Thoughts welcome.

The BBC are constantly bending over backwards to please Reform.

I fear they're becoming a mouthpiece for Nigel Farage, a guy who wants to destroy them.
