Contrary to Dubai Dick 🛢️| Norway made oil work for its people. Britain let oil work for its billionaires. That’s the difference. Norway has a future. Britain’s been living off its past. Read more 👇

Reform in Northumberland are eating themselves alive - purges, suspensions, backstabbing. The Refuk's council group leader Mark Peart turned “local Refuk council group” into a tinpot dictatorship. Imagine this circus anywhere near Westminster.

I’d trust a Wetherspoon's toilet more than Farage.

There’s only one question for Refuk’s Kremlin r🐀ts: was Farage also bribed by the Russian terrorist state like his good friend Nathan Gill?

Corrupt chancers urged to come up with an economic plan that isn’t utter bullshit. So, no tax cuts and austerity on steroids for a country already stuck in Farage’s Brexit dead end.
But hey, some super wealthy industry big (k)nobs will come on board to help con the little guy.

(Times)
Times Farage to abandon manifesto's big plans for tax cuts Extracts: Farage will break with his manifesto pledges of £90 billion in tax cuts as he attempts to bolster his party's economic credibility. The leader of Reform UK will promise not to reduce taxes before reducing spending, deep cuts to the civil service and a ban on borrowing to fund government expenditure in his first big speech on the economy next month. "Reform will never borrow to spend, as Labour and the Tories have done for so long; instead, we will ensure savings are made before implementing tax cuts. I will have more to say on all this in the coming weeks." Speaking on the campaign trail before the Caerphilly by-election to the Welsh parliament on October 23, he did not respond to demands to name his shadow chancellor but suggested he would soon be able to draw on backing from the business community. Several high-profile figures from industry have privately indicated they would be willing to serve in a Reform cabinet, party officials said Farage said: "We will be launching between now and the budget, a new campaign — an economic campaign ... it's going to be very impactful. It'll another high-profile individual coming into politics from outside of politics, who's been supremely successful in their world." Promising a "total change of attitude" on the economy, he said: "We are not a party dominated by corporate thinking. The Tories and La-bour are both dominated by corporate thinking." The IFS has questioned whether Reform's economic plans are credible warning last year that the party had overestimated how much it could save through spending cuts: "Even with the extremely optimistic assumptions about how much economic growth would increase, the sums in this manifesto do not add up." Right-leaning think tanks have also urged the party to set out more credible policy. The Institute for Economic Affairs last month called for Reform to "put some serious economic policies on the table".

If Refuk’s crypto donations go through crypto payments gateway Radom’s Polish branch, who handles KYC and verification, and when is a donation officially accepted versus held pending, given UK data protection and electoral rules?

It is not merely that Jenrick and Badenoch attack lawyers, it is that they no longer understand what law is. The independence of the judiciary, once seen as the moral spine of British democracy, has become, to them, an inconvenience. Read more👇

⏪UK Politics Rewind -
Farage is campaigning to abolish the Welsh Assembly, now called the Senedd.
People in Wales planning to vote for the Refuk candidate in the Caerphilly by-election are thick as mince, innit. #ukpolitics

Splendid report by Byline Times about Refuk's Kremlin r🐀ts 👇
Insiders have told Byline Times it is ‘inconceivable’ the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide’s pro Russian statements

Yusuf in September: “People in the senior leadership team have never really heard of Gill.”
Farage now: “I’ve known Gill for 20 years.”
How many of Reform UK’s Kremlin rats have taken terrorist-state Russian bribery? #ukpolitics

Only months ago, Refuk were stuffing Derbyshire letterboxes slagging off the council boss’s pay as a “waste of money,” even comparing it to the PM’s. Now they’re in power, they’ve upped it to £181k + £20k bonus. Classic Farage lies, all talk before the vote, total sellout after.

Refuk’s Kremlin r🐀t Farage: “Gill is a bad apple for taking bribes from terrorist state Russia.”
Also Farage: “The West ‘provoked’ Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by expanding the European Union and NATO eastwards.”
So, is he also a bad apple taking bribes from a terrorist state? #ukpolitics

Son of economic immigrants, anchor baby, Muhammad Yusuf, one of the Kremlin r🐀ts, lies about Farage, claiming he doesn’t know who Gill is, the former Refuk leader in Wales who admitted taking bribes to make statements in favour of terrorist state Russia while being MEP. #ukpoitics
