A councillor on a children and young people committee described some children in care as "downright evil" and you’ll never guess which Party he’s in🤔

Yup Reform, a Party full of wrong’uns, misfits, bigots, racists, crooks, grifters & wife beating thugs that couldn’t run a bath never mind a council❗️

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.

NEW: A federal judge in Illinois just BANNED Kristi Noem's goons from using force or threats against Chicago reporters. 👏 Even better, if Kristi doesn't prove she gave ICE the order within 7 days, she may face criminal charges. 💪 THIS is how you do it!

Johnson refused to answer specific questions or to provide factual denials to allegations of rule-breaking, while insisting all the rules had been followed at all times. His responses led Acoba’s chair, Isabel Doverty, to find him in breach of the rules.

Awkward for Zia Yusuf, who keeps being sent out to lie as cover for the Reform UK leader

Who did Nigel Farage have lunch with after resigning as UKIP leader 4 July 2016?

Why, it's Russian bribe enthusiast Nathan Gill, who then did the important news briefing on his behalf (to Russia Today)

Farage says he’s stunned that ex Reform Wales leader Nathan Gill took bribes from Russia.. I bet he is

He no doubt thought he was the only one Putin was wedging up, his ego wouldn’t entertain anyone else getting a piece of the action❗️

It's almost as if Jenrick is nothing more than a race baiting opportunist, isn't it?

Jenrick is absurdly incoherent on principles of free expression because he wants immediate arrests for "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great) while turning up to court to defend shouting "Fuck Islam" while burning a Quran

Quite ironic that many of those opposing the digital ID card want to join the EU. It's highly likely, given their use is spreading there, that having them will be a condition of entry.

"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.

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.

1. Make a recent convict the star guest of your annual conference, despite her conviction being about calling for a group of people to be murdered. 'Just hurty words/free speech'.

2. Then getting [rightly] very upset when someone wants to murder you.

Yes, it's the latest 'Hurty Words Update'.

Never forget Farage said Liz Truss' mini-budget was "the best Conservative budget since 1986".

Liz Truss mini budget and Reform economy plan is the same product - a lettuce.

Labour need to shouting this from the roof tops.

They need to be challenging Farage over his multiple jobs.
They need to be challenging Reform over their tex exile donor base.
They need to be challenging Reform policies at every opportunity.

Labour said they’d do it. They’re doing it. We don’t need more populist crap in this country. We need people quietly getting on with the job. Which they are.

Richard Tice the Hypocrite - who would think such a thing.

Companies he leads extol the virtues of solar energy and emissions reductions and even boast of a net zero building. Tice has been a green champion for 15 years - through business.
