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.

MAGA is not taking the María Corina Machado Nobel win well.

Without so much as a paradox in the world, Laura Loomer has even accused her of "stoking and promoting violent regime change" while Trump is working to end wars

Comically desperate stuff

The irony of @MariaCorinaYA winning
the Nobel Peace Prize is that her
actions are actively stoking and
promoting violent regime change in
Venezuela and she is on Fox News
everyday hoping we pay for it despite
being loaded with cash. How come
nobody ever talks about how wealthy
this woman is!? Where did she get her
money?

How is her push for regime change
peaceful?

Trump is actually working to end wars

Wild to see the Nobel Prize go to someone promoting democratic rights and a peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy, instead of someone who deploys the military against his own citizens and incited a violent insurrection to stop the peaceful transition of power after a democratic election

Trump fails in bid for Nobel Peace Prize as surprise winner announced

The news will come as a bitter blow to the US President after he secured a ‘historic’ peace deal between Hamas and Israel

I’ve been saying this for ten years now but possibly not often enough: Ask Them What They Think The Words They’re Using Mean. And then ask them to name the ‘problematic’ people. We had ‘sovereignty’, ‘laws’ & ‘unelected bureaucrats’. The US now has ‘Antifa’, the ‘radical left’ & ‘insurrection’. Ask!

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Join us and let's make hope normal again.

Poll from find out now showing greens on 15 and labour and Tories on 17. Reform on 32.

I'm not a history buff so just wondering who these German 'antifa' people were protesting against and what happened to them in the 1930s?

From Donald Trump's Roundtable on Antifa just now —
"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

It would help enormously to maintain a civilised political discourse if politicians stopped using words like 'fight' and 'battle' when talking about immigration and identity.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

The voters outside looked from Tories to Reform, and from Reform to Tories, and from Tories to Reform again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
