I'm sure BBC investigative documentary strand Panorama is even now working on an incisive exposé of Reform's financial links to Russia and it's just that they haven't announced it publicly yet

Kristi Noem’s America, folks. That poor dog. That poor family.

Tweet by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: “Border Patrol reportedly shot a dog and then the agent fled rather than deal with any kind of accountability whatsoever.”
Below is Keith Edwards’ tweet: “BREAKING: A family in El Paso says ICE shot and killed their dog, Chop. The agent who fired reportedly ran as the family screamed for help. No one came.”

Photo of a large black and brown Rottweiler sitting calmly on a tiled floor next to a white chair and a window with blinds.

A black-background screenshot of text describing an incident: the sender says no Border Patrol agents rendered aid after their dog was shot, and that the responsible agent fled the scene with help from others. They emphasize that the agent’s name was never released and that their family lost a member “for no lawful reason.”

Reform Party UK Exposed @reformexposed.bsky.social · 1d

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.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.
