Why do you feel you have to attack him because he has a different opinion and doesn’t toe the party line all the time?

Email to David David this morning.

Dear Mr Davis
Would you care to apologise to the country for the utter disaster that is Brexit and the damage you actively helped cause.
Kind regards

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.

I love this country and this city so much, mutters the patriot, that I can't bear to live there, complain about it all the time and only visit to address far-right marches and stir up racial resentment against many of the people whose vote I want.

I wrote about it in 2018, but it's an issue so fiercely defended by social silence that I found it impossible to get any traction. It's one of those occasions on which everyone thinks you've gone mad, as the alternative is to recognise that the system is mad.

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

Canada’s new government is starting Automatic Federal Benefits. We’re going to pre-file taxes for up to 5.5 million low-income Canadians, so they get the benefits they are entitled to — money that would otherwise be left unclaimed.

And yet fucking idiots still fall for it!

It's quite simple.

Very rich people are blaming immigrants and disabled people, for stealing all the money (exactly as Adolf Hitler did).

Because they are stealing all the money.

This trick is literally hundreds of years old, and it is the only one they have.

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

I disagree.

RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

I’m always amazed and touched when I watch DIY SOS. Peoples generosity and kindness in the face of such challenges is amazing. #love

Juxtapose that with billionaires, Duke of Westminster, royalty & the like, Zuckerberg, Bexos, twats like Musk, all with more money than they could ever spend. #hate
