Please can someone tell Mason at Reform hq, no, sorry, at BBC to stfu; he’s looking even more idiotic bigoted and biased than usual.
Give it a rest man, or give it up.

More lies from Farage/Reform. Many of us produced documentation needing printing and sending out, it's a process not one action. They knew they were carrying out election malpractice, they must face consequences. It would help if our MSM would report this, but no chance.

I do not want Starmer out.

I want Phillips and Ridge and Rigby and Coates out from Sky.

I want Kuensberg and Mason out from BBC

Where’s the campaign?

Let’s get these biased people out from our News.

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit

Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

McFadden says Mandelson should give any money from being sacked to charity

A reminder McFadden once claimed £40,000 on expenses for renting a home in his constituency despite owning the home next door (which he rented out & pocketed the cash). What did you do with that £, Pat?

“It could take years to restore Brexit losses”

Especially if Farage comes along and tears up the ‘reset’ as he threatens.

Honest to god.. it’s such a tedious, idiotic, resource-sapping mess. There’s really nothing patriotic about it. Prejudice costs such a lot.

NatWest have a spare £2.5 billion perhaps we need a rethink since they never repaid £10.5 billion back to British tax payers due to the 2008 crash - through no fault of ours and caused by a lack of regulation and greed. Iceland sentenced 26 bankers to a combined 74 years in prison we rewarded ours.

Maybe unpopular, but why is the National Anthem of England the same as the National Anthem of UK? And why is it a grovelling homage to the royal family, privilege and serfdom, and not about England, or indeed any country at all?

Why does the world still allow trophy hunting? We've done so much harm already. RT if you think there should be a worldwide ban on this barbaric practice.

I must say, even as a Tory, that Reform can never be accused of hypocrisy.
For instance Nigel Farage saying Mr Starmer’s association with Mr Mandelson was a “Grave error of judgement” & he should resign.
Mr Farage’s ‘associations’ could NEVER be called grave errors of judgement.🤔

Left: Muhammad Yusuf claims Peter Mandelson belongs in prison and calls Keir Starmer a disgrace who must quit.
Right: Meanwhile Nathan Gill is in prison for Russian bribes - so applying the same Muhammad's standard, Farage is a disgrace and must resign.
