The government can't be popping up every week to speak to the nation.πŸ™„ People will stop listening. This is about the budget, so our feckless media are primed & looking for their next negative government story.

Action not words. This week we have:
Secured 20,000 jobs across our country through our deal with TΓΌrkiye.
Strengthened renters’ rights through Awaab’s Law.
Increased support for 6 million households by extending the Warm Home Discount.
Carried out the largest crackdown on illegal workers in British history.
That's national renewal.

Labour are delivering actions, not words. Here is PM telling you just a little bit of what they've done in the last week.

Rupert Lowe MP
@RupertLowe10
I have received A LOT of questions about Nathan Gill, having sat as a Brexit Party MEP alongside him in Brussels and Strasbourg. He was also the Reform leader in Wales. For those who don’t know, he has pleaded guilty to taking pro-Russian bribes over a number of months.

Obviously, I had absolutely no idea. I was new to the European Parliament, Nathan had been there for years alongside Farage - they were very close. He was the head of the delegation of our MEPs, so with the whip ran the day-to-day affairs of our grouping and organised activity in Brussels/Strasbourg. He was one of just two MEPs from the previous term Farage allowed to stand again.

He seemed particularly interested in Russian/Ukrainian developments which I found peculiar. There was one event, right at the beginning of our term, which he asked me and other MEPs to attend. Due to his position in the grouping, I agreed. It had a very pro-Russian slant, with individuals who claimed to be close to Putin there. For obvious reasons, I did not attend another such event.

I thought his obsession with that part of the world was strange, but given his years in the Parliament and position in the party, I didn’t think there was more to it. Other MEPs also found it unusual, but we just got on with job.

So to journalists asking, there is my response.

It is disgraceful behaviour, treasonous behaviour.

I am ashamed to have ever sat alongside him.

Rupert Lowe on Nathan Gill, former Reform leader in Wales, who has pleaded guilty to taking bribes from pro-Russian proxies:

"I had absolutely no idea. I was new to the European Parliament, Nathan had been there for years alongside Farage - they were very close."

Let's make sure everyone knows about the activities that senior Reform members have gotten up to.

These are not people we can trust to run out country.

Make sure people never forget!

"Lots done. Lots more to do."

As Parliament is set to return tomorrow, here is a video the Labour government have put out to show us some of the things they have achieved in the first year.

And it's a LOOOOOOONG list.

Nigel Farage should tell the people of #Caerphilly about how he wants to abolish the Senedd.

Actually, no need, we have a video of him saying it.

(Also about how Fox Hunting turns him on).

Netanyhu has a international warrant out for his arrest as a war criminal! It's disturbing listening to the avalanche of lies from the mouths of some of those people. Lording evil Trump when he's an intellectually challenged narcissist like he's the second coming! We know the real truth.

Listening to frankly what I can only describe as utterly disturbing rhetoric I can only conclude that the evil ones have won & going forward the whole world should be deeply concerned & frightened. Advocating violence & 'strong man leaders. The world has learnt nothing from the 2 world wars!! πŸ˜”

Quite. I just had to turn her off. Letting totally unimformed people call in to spout utter nonsense with no push back whatsoever! I'm fuming 😑

They're angry with the wrong people. That's why they're easy pickings for snake oil Farage & Reform. They say they want change but do they really know what that change with Reform will look like in their own lives? Remember Brexit. That was done in angry by the same people too & look where we are.

No, Trump is creating unrest by using the military against citizens!

I read it too & know Powell's speech. They are not the same! You're obviously not very good at comprehension.

He's tried three times. He should stick to being mayor of Manchester. People need to stop talking about this leadership story. All it's doing is playing into the RW media & Farages hands! Why would anyone provide more ammunition against a Labour govt?

15.09.2025 17:37 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Quite. I wouldn't want that job. I wonder who will take it on?

It wasn't a mistake. Why can't supposedly intelligent people realise that it's diplomacy to safeguard UK trade & businesses eg steel! Don't you think Starmer is aware of what Trump is like? Trump will be gone in a week.

Come on! Sick & tired of this Starmer bashing. You know he has to keep that crackpot sweet for British businesses! Trump will be gone soon. What about focusing on the real issue of the rise of RW, Farage & billionaire Musk's interference in our country! Far more important than Trump's visit!

Why is Mandelson still being discussed? The much larger problem is the racist march & Musk inciting violence and trying to undermine our government! Cover that & move on

I hope that's not directed at Trump. He's not a force for good & is likely to make things worse. His regime & inflammatory language & behaviour is the cause of increased divisions & political violence in the US.

The β€œincendiary rhetoric β€œ will not be toned down while the Trump regime are in government! They are the ones creating the under current of violence by letting loose ICE on Americans, sending the military to cities and spouting lies and hate from the Oval Office!

If Trump fails & violence starts in the US, Farage will fail.
