Dear Gorton and Denton
When you've finished your third job, Farage would rather you work a bit more because work life balance isn't important.
I bet any benefits you need will be dependent on you having very little life outside of work.
With Reform, be careful what you vote for.

Nigel Farage always sides with his billionaire donors over workers’ rights.

"Donald Trump told the New York Times that he wished he had seized the ballots in 2020. They have now shown they have a proof of concept, that they know logistically how to do this—including getting a federal magistrate judge to sign a warrant."

For England, Wales and NI's sake I so hope the Greens hold the reins at WM at the next WM election. Hopefully by then Scotland will be well on its way to freedom, sanity and the EU!

And he only did it because yesterdays press conference backfired. I'd bet money that if Starmer had gone, Pam Duncan- Glancy, Bestest of Friends with at least one Paedophile, would still be sitting pretty in Scottish Labour.

FARAGE: Right, what’s happening with that by-election wherever it is with what’s his name?

ZAHAWI: Not very well… I don’t think the voters like him.

JENRICK: That’s alright. I got elected and no one likes me.

ANDERSON: Liked? Liked? We’re not a party to be liked!

FARAGE: Exactly.

BREAKING: Donald Trump’s name has been redacted from the Epstein files multiple times according to Jamie Raskin.
Tomorrow Pam Bondi must be asked straight out why she redacted Trump‘s name from the Epstein files and why she has redacted so many other names from the Epstein files. What is she hiding?

Who knew, mega pub chain boss Tim Martin would back Farage’s 'Deadbeat Dad' plan to take money from child support and spend it on beer ……:)

And, shock horror - Farage’s numbers don't add up. It will take nearly twice as much as he claims.

Classic.

I've just learned that all self-respecting superyacht owners buy second vessels known as 'support yachts' just to carry their jet skis and helicopters. And we still get told that inequality doesn't matter.

HOLY SHIT!! Trump is in the unredacted Epstein files "more than a million times," Raskin alleges.

That explains why so many FBI agents were assigned to review the Epstein files and redact Trump‘s name!
