Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Would love to interview Simon Williams about the couple of times he worked with Peter Sellers; I imagine he would bring a wealth of stories and anecdotes... does anyone know how I might be able to make contact?

How much money has Nigel Farage and Reform UK received from Russian Banks?

Or are we not allowed to call him that?

Reform UK’s Skelton East, Redcar and Cleveland by-election candidate Craig Holmes, trousers down like a toddler doing a pee pee on someone’s property.

He’s standing for election next Thursday.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
I detect a fag paper thinness between the racist Reform plan decried by Starmer today and the actual Reform plan.
I hate golf. But way to go the Europeans.

Poor Nigel Farage doesn’t like being called an ‘enemy’, he thinks it’s inciteful language.

He might want to tell Nigel Farage that.

All that to say - Starmer's focus on patriotism (political), over investment in inequitous structures - shows he just doesn't get it. Unless to diminish discontent with community investment from the central base, the endemic problems will not go away.
Like Americans, those voting for Reform are angry. Politics has left them behind. The 80s and 90s hollowed out communities. Greed was good. Expertise and education for suckers. Their anger is real but misdirected. We need to engage, educate, redirect. Insulting people won’t make any difference
Mark Kermode (BBC/British) if you can get it.

Nigel Farage Wants to Tear Up Indefinite Leave to Remain - and Deport Legal Migrants in Britain

Reform UK’s so-called “Boriswave” rhetoric is a fantasy built on cruelty, cooked-up numbers, and Trump-style authoritarianism.

That was fast. This is also why you don’t surrender to autocrats - you fight them and beat them.
