Why TF would you ‘give Reform a go’?
Yes. They represent change. But not good change. Not the change people want.
This lot would torch everything we value and rely upon (NHS, public services, our rights, protections…)
in an absolute frenzy of corruption, prejudice and uselessness.
FFS. Please don’t.

Does Laila know how Farage’s purchase, of his £900,000 house in Clacton, was funded?

What does this even mean? I know she's piggybacking the post that mad bastard in the White House did but what, in this context, does this even mean? Is she going to introduce penguins into London? Is she going to make London warmer? Who made those footprints? Mountains near Tower Bridge? What?

Hold on to the truth, it will preserve your sanity.
Worth noting that the @wsj.com has joined with the @nytimes.com and Bellingcat to say that ICE is lying in its description of the shooting of Alex Pretti. The video evidence more and more supports the view that this was a gratuitous execution. www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...
Videos Contradict U.S. Account of Minneapolis Shooting by Federal Agents
See how immigration officers escalated a fatal confrontation on Saturday.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.
That NEC decision on Burnham was predictable, but also: cowardly, insecure, factional, long-term counter-strategic and symptomatic of administrative malaise.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Exactly the same thing BBC and Sky did with Renee Nicole Good. "A says X, but B says Y." Sure, but Y is on actual fkn video, so maybe just watch it.
The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.
It leads on "sharply contested narratives"
It has a dramatic skew to the US government
It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue
