Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

I think it is really important that there is an alternative effective view point to all the oppressive unrealistic stuff the other parties are touting. He does provide that.

Indiana Republican voter: I’m a life long Republican though I never voted for Trump. He’s not a Republican, he’s an evil man. Look what he’s done to Brazil, saying that if they don’t let Bolsonaro go, he’ll put more tariffs on them. He’s not a world leader but a dictator that needs to be stopped.

When will they take complete responsibility for the absolute dogs dinner they made of the entire country during the times all their many leaders were in power from 2010. The economy, social disintegration, austerity, Brexit disaster, stupid culture wars, cost of living crisis, widening etc etc

Strong speech from Badenoch. Well delivered. Sharp critique of government. Focussed on politically fertile territory on the economy. Eye catching policy which will get a lot of v positive press attention.

"Eye-catching..." is kinda how much of the West has ended up in this clown car hurtling towards authoritarianism. I think it's time to acknowledge that.

A stonker of a night for us. Three huge wins, Reform nowhere near us and the Tories down to ten percent in Mel Stride’s own seat.

We are the only party taking Farage on and the only party beating him.

Borders have two sides, trade relationships also have two sides. The people who sold you Brexit pretended it was only the UK who would decide to act in uk interest against Europeans but forgot to mention that the people on the other side have a duty to do the same for their own population.

Populists especially those on the right are rubbish at running economies. Their simple promises are worthless and useless. Their intellectual capacity stops them from understanding complex stuff so they mess it up again and again. People fall for it again and again. 😢 2/2

Milei has wrecked his country - a populist far right character promising simple solutions to get elected. Truss pushed her populist nonsense and the markets plunged. Reform councils are now finding their simple solutions are also wrecking their own local economies. 1/2

New Reform UK councillors in Kent promised efficiency, but have taken just a few months to go back on their pledges. And the embarrassing mess is yet another sign that the posh-boy hatemongers have nothing positive to offer ordinary people.
