Having illustrated the problem of X ignoring its legal duties, I want to build an effective coalition for intervention. If you are or know people on X receiving racist abuse, rape threats, I would welcome receipts of one rejected attempt to report to the platform an indefensible case

Thanks for this kind note. I hope to do something useful with this by Nov/Dec (new Ofcom powers, new EHRC chair). I'd like more women + ethnic minorities to go through (futile) process of reporting shocking stuff (eg rape threats, p-word, n-word) & share receipts with me of one egregious example

The Reform UK Councils that are considering raising Council tax (one even by 10%):

Kent
Durham
West Northamptonshire
Warwickshire
Leicestershire
Worcestershire
Staffordshire
Lincolnshire

TBC:
Derbyshire
Lancashire

Eight Reform UK councils likely to raise tax next year

Despite Nigel Farage’s promises to cut waste and ‘save a lot of money’, senior officials have now admitted they will likely have to resort to tax rises

And that's the flipping tragedy here...no journalist is pushing to bring this to public awareness...at all. They want a reform government.. not for us and our welfare, but for clicks. I couldn't be more furious

Reform UK’s Nathan Gill met with EU President Tajani to lobby him based on Russian Bribes.

Even then, Nigel Farage didn’t bat an eyelid.

Remarkable video. He had never shown an interest in free speech related to Ukrainian TV channels before.

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

Tice never seems to tire of deriding “net stupid zero”, but has a 15-year business record of support for sustainability & green energy initiatives

His companies boasted of their commitments to saving energy, cutting CO2 emissions & environmental responsibility

Make him make sense!

Farage insists ex-Reform UK Wales leader convicted of bribery is ‘bad apple’

Farage said he was shocked by Nathan Gill’s admissions relating to pro-Russia statements Nigel Farage has insisted his party’s former leader in Wales who was convicted of taking pro-Russian bribes was a “bad apple” who betrayed him. The Reform UK leader was in Caerphilly campaigning for his candidate in a forthcoming Senedd byelection when he was asked about his links to Nathan Gill. Continue reading...

It is embarassing not to see the BBC pulling up Reform leaders claiming that Nathan Gill was just some fan who got photos taken with Farage - he was an MEP for them & their leader in Wales while taking cash from Russia to act against the UK! Literally the very basics of your job to point this out

Here’s Nathan Gill, traitor, guilty of 8 charges of Russian Bribery.

By the point he recorded this he had already taken bribes but was yet to be arrested.

He was Leader of Reform UK in Wales.

Reform UK have been silent.

A house in Clacton bought with unknown finances, a Russian funded Welsh leader and now an investigation into the finances and tax affairs of one of Farage’s key ally.

The treachery and corruption is right in front of the media’s eyes and they do and say, NOTHING!

Pochinoccio strikes again.

Reform UK’s @SarahForRuncorn has removed a video about Runcorn Boxing Club after lying about her helping getting funding for them.

Statement by the club has shown her to once again have made up things about representing her local area.
