#Farage promised freedom and left us chained to debt.
Covid bonds, weak trade, lost investment, now the budget bleeds.
Every tax rise should carry his name. #faragetaxes
He wanted sovereignty. He delivered insolvency. He lied, He walked away. #RejoinEU is the solution not ReformUK.

Starmer blaming #Brexit for tax rises may be accurate but when only 37% of a now disproportionately dead electorate voted for it almost 10 yrs ago, based on undeliverable lies, the questions are why should the rest of us stomach it & where is Labour’s plan to change that? archive.ph/2025.10.10-2...

The budget pain is not bad luck. It is Brexit’s bill.
A weaker pound, slower growth, higher borrowing costs, all made in the referendum.
So when you pay more tax, remember who sold the dream.
The architect of this austerity the creator of this scenario , the maker of these taxes…was Nigel Farage.

There seems to be some *confusion*
among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them

“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”

“But, but he was in UKIP”

“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”

So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵

Reform UK’s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill.

Farage is still silent.

It’s deafening.

Zack Polanski is sending out the message that you can both oppose Genocide and condemn attacks on jewish people in the UK.

And it is driving the Media insane because they want to cancel Genocide protests.

Can someone ask Farage or Zia Yusuf why, if they're so concerned about incitement to violence, they had Lucy Connolly as a guest star at their conference?

Don't forget why there's a by-election next week in #Corby.

It's due to their Councillor Robert Bloom's resignation following the news that he shouted the ‘n’ word repeatedly at a black family who live close by to him.

Corby Reform councillor resigns over serious racism allegations

Reform councillor Robert Bloom, who has been in his North Northamptonshire Council post for just 117 days, has resigned after a neighbour alleged he used appalling racial slurs toward her family.

As woefully unimpressed (but not surprised) by Starmer as I have been, I fully commend him for using the phrase “The Farage Boats” on the BEEB yesterday, correctly attributing the blame for the increase of asylum seekers coming across the Channel. (See also: Farage Riots; Farage Flagshagging)

At the 2022 Labour Conference, Labour members overwhelmingly passed a motion in support of Proportional Representation.

Starmer:
“It’s not a Priority.”

In multi-party elections, where a single party can gain a majority on under 30% of vote cast, it’s a priority to #getPRdone
