Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

Zahawi surely can’t agree with this? It applies to him! He’s foreign born.

Yeah, but let’s recall who the President was then….of course NF didn’t like him.

Well, we should bill them the cost of repatriation since paying taxes is beneath them. And I say that as someone who has family out there avoiding tax.

I’m so annoyed by us in that second half.

I hate how accurate this tweet is.

Never any suspicion of dodgy voting when it goes his way, strangely.

It is possible to support Keir Starmer and fight back against media misinformation without thinking his every move or policy is perfect. Absolving Starmer of responsibility makes you sound as unserious as the Corynistas and the Polanskibots. Stop it.

Time to move to the centre left in every way Labour.

The country does not want Reform UK Ltd

It doesn’t want a nasty, unfair immigration policy.

We don’t need to stop immigration or asylum.You just need to stop the boats.

Open safe routes & now appeal to the left of your party and the country.

So the Greens have five MPs and get mocked by blue Robbo for suggesting they're a threat to Labour. Reform have five elected MPs and blue Robbo doesn't bat an eyelid when Farage says he'll be Prime Minister #r4today.

Not a chance! Reform never own up to anything, they lie, avoid, become aggressive when challenged or run away, but own up never.

If you’re in trouble, need help with public services or your children, going to your MP may be the only option.

A compassionate MP is who you need at one of the worst points in your life.

Always consider who you’d want to sit in front of at your greatest time of need.

They are super confident. We need this by-election to take the wind out their sales.

BBC shouldn’t have aired it. What were they thinking?? Apparently no one approached Michael and Delroy afterwards, either - totally wrong. I feel so sorry for them to have to hear that and I feel sorry for John, who must be mortified. Sinners is a fantastic movie, but this is overshadowed, now.

Without the dots, it looks like polygraph test results from a pathological liar.

Richard Tice is to announce Reform UK's plans to introduce a "Great Repeal Bill" that will scrap Labour's Employment Rights' Act and rent reforms

I know why Scots are pissed off. We had to leave due to Thatchers policies making it hard for my family to find work up there in the 80’s.

We’ve had Brexit foisted on us too - we didn’t all vote for it or Tory governments. You’ve voted for Tories in seats yourselves, don’t forget. Good luck with independence but I’m 55 and I don’t believe I’ll ever see it.

Good luck. But it won’t happen. Not that way. Your best chance is to help us down here keep them out.

Good luck getting them to allow a Referendum. I wouldn’t be surprised if they dissolved the devolved parliaments, given the chance. I’m saying that as a Scot.

β€˜Make you feel safe’. Notice the wording. Not β€˜make you safer’. He’s openly saying he is selling us an illusion. Leaving the ECHR absolutely does not make us more safe.

I’d be really interested to know if he’d win an election there now.
