Kemi Badenoch says she doesn’t want centrists in her party.
Instead of focusing on what people actually want, like an NHS that works, she’s choosing to imitate Farage.
If you’re sick of the name calling and just want things fixed, join the Liberal Democrats.

Lest we forget Farage accidentally set up an off shore fund to avoid UK.. he prefers us to pay it
We’ve all done it, despite it being time consuming, very difficult, and expensive without realising
It’s just like he’s accidentally broke MP’s rules 17 times to date without facing any consequences❗️😡

The "coincidence" of Epstein's cash payments to Peter Mandelson's partner/husband in 2009/10 and the then industry secretary's lobbying within cabinet for a softer post-crash policy towards bankers looks on the face of it like outright corruption. Certainly demands police investigation.

Apart from Reform it’s the Lib Dems who are set to be the main gainers in the Holyrood elections, as they may be on course to at least double their number of MSP’s.
