There are only 8 Reform MPs and they have a combined wealth of over £70,000,000. They have consistently voted against every single improvement to workers rights and plan to scrap legal protections left right and centre. They are funded by the bosses to rip up your rights.
Reform is now the party of workers. Today I am inviting trade unions to apply for affiliation with Reform UK. We also welcome union leaders to attend our national conference in September and engage in discussions about the policies of a future Reform government.

OK, this is significant. It appears the alleged Belfast attacker was actually fast-tracked through the asylum process by Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick. I've just found the following letter from Jenrick to the UK statistical authority on 17 April, 2023 It says: "We are taking urgent action to accelerate decision-making and speed up processing times. We are simplifying and modernising our system, including introducing shorter, more focused interviews; making guidance more accessible; dealing with cases more swiftly where they can be certified as manifestly unfounded; recruiting extra decision makers; and allocating dedicated resources for specific nationalities". uksa.statisticsauthority.gov…

Yep. It’s almost funny. @RobKenyonReform never came to 1 meeting on Ashton Library. Me, cllrs and residents worked backsides off to save it. In politics, berating ppl on socials doesn’t get stuff done. He’s local, angry, but no plan to actually DO anything. Like @reformparty_uk

Utterly embarassing from Rob Kenyon. What he clearly doesn't know is Labour MP Josh Simons confirmed just over a week ago that this library would be reopened and work is starting soon, following a 6 month campaign by Labour Councillor Christopher Ready. What total numpties Rob and Zia are.

On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours: “On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists. Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.” It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.

Isabel Oakeshott on Nigel Farage buying a £1.4m house: “I honestly don’t see why it’s anyone’s business. Why should people know how he paid?” Isabel Oakeshott on Angela Rayner buying a 2nd home: “I smell a massive rat. How on earth has she raised the money to buy a £800k flat?”

Massive back peddling from Nigel Farage after his bluff was called by Labour Party chair Anna Turley who gave him 24 hours to report Russian hacking claim in ‘public and national interest’. Now he says he, "Wants to move on from the issue and no longer discuss it".

In 2011 Keir Starmer approved the robust investigation into Murdoch and phone hacking, and into newspapers beyond the Murdoch stable. In 2024 they started to take their revenge and will continue. A challenge to the heart of democracy. theguardian.com/media/2011/j…

Former living Prime Ministers who retain a discreet and dignified silence. John Major Gordon Brown Theresa May. Former Prime Ministers who believe they still have influence & won't shut up. Blair Johnson Cameron There are behavioural terms which could be applied to them.

“The Telegraph... is making space for racism.” Former RMT general secretary Mick Lynch told senior Telegraph journalist Camilla Tominey that her newspaper is “on the way” to explicitly supporting Reform. "The Telegraph seems to be preparing itself to become a full signed up affiliate of Reform," he said.

Some people don't like the fact I've highlighted the way in which Kenyon is using his time in the Reserves as a means of garnering votes. I'd suggest they actually watch the video. The whole tone of it - the stirring music, the "going away for four years", the references to the Somme, the "do your duty". That's got nothing to do with Kenyon's time in the Reserves. Reform is taking a misogynistic bigot and trying to turn him into a war hero - all in the name of votes.
Kenyon was a reservist in the TA - a part-timer. That's it. Trying to make out this man "served" is an insult to all those who genuinely have, and shows huge disrespect to our veterans.

Labour is restoring order and control. Net migration is down 82%. Net migration is now at 171,000, down from a high of 944,000 under the Conservatives. 12,000 fewer people are in asylum hotels since last year. 60,000 people with no right to be here have been removed.

Robert Jenrick under investigation by Metropolitan Police re possible illegal foreign donation for failed Tory leadership bid. Jenrick’s wife Michal Berkner lawyer for the donor, was warned the £40k actually came from a US fraudster. Where's the noise? #BBCBreakfast #r4today

We won’t forget you want to lower minimum wage and reverse renters and workers rights. At least we know you will be nowhere near government until 2029! And if you cut taxes presumably you will say how you will maintain public services, state pensions (half of benefits bill) etc.

Mel please stop lying. You’re doing Putin’s work for him. Until this week there were no sanctions on Russian oil products processed elsewhere coming into the uk (including under your government). From this week there are. Some products are banned immediately. Other are phased out

This is a flat out lie. We haven’t lifted Russian sanctions. In fact we’re introducing the sanctions you failed and refused to introduce
Lifting Russian sanctions is an immoral decision. All whilst Labour refuse to use our own North Sea oil and gas resources. The British people have backed Ukraine since the invasion. This terrible Government are now selling them out.

This is utterly misleading. We haven’t relaxed an existing sanction on Russian oil products refined elsewhere. We’ve introduced a sanction for the first time. We’re strengthening sanctions not weakening them.
Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine could receive a £1bn boost after Sir Keir Starmer watered down sanctions on Russian oil, experts have said. The Prime Minister has allowed some imports of diesel and jet fuel derived from Russian crude into the UK following a surge in prices because of the war in Iran. 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

I have found the new Russian sanctions law and the PM and trade minister Bryant are correct that the permission to import Russian jet fuel and diesel refined in a third country is a waiver from new sanctions. Tory leader Badenoch was barking up wrong tree, it seems. But maybe that is understandable to a degree because the government’s communication on this was confusing, to put it kindly

Fucking hell. Gordon Brown hasn't been appointed Minister of Popularity and The Common Touch. He's been appointed a special envoy on global finance. Jesus, why do we have such degraded political discourse now? Even from people who used to fancy themselves thinkers? FFS.
When Gordon Brown is the answer to the government’s unpopularity and lack of common touch…..😬
