Surely, when the richest man on earth urges the working class to 'fight' from behind the safety of a video camera a thousand miles away from the batons, pepper spray and prison time - surely then, you know you’re being played like a puppet. Surely...

Divorced, Defected, Danny! My SKETCH of Reform recruiting the next MP to inevitably fall out with Farage.

Divorced, Defected, Danny Kruger | Robert Hutton | The Critic Magazine

“Britain is not broken,” said Danny Kruger, with the pained look of a man who believes he holds his nation’s fate in his hands, and that to save it he must turn his back on his friends.

As a double divorcee, Nigel might not be the best person to pontificate about stable relationships and families.

Farage is funded by far-right, anti abortion, christian nationalist think tank billionaires in the US, like The Heritage Foundation, and Project 2025, his agenda is nothing more than full on culture wars and division

This is thinly disguised homophobia by Farage.

The same far-right figures who have spent years coming for my trans friends & colleagues are emboldened again against anything different from their "normal."

Today and everyday I stand with the whole LGBTQIA+ community.

Your struggle is my struggle.

Nigel Farage:

"Children who have two stable parents have a better chance in life... The most stable relationships, the ones that last the longest, tend to be between men & women... There's an awful lot of kids in the country not getting the kind of start... they deserve."

Farage has two ex-wives.

Here is Danny Kruger MP in Parliament, as a Tory MP before defecting today, berating Reform UK for "simply replacing the words Conservative Party with the words Reform Party... in a desperate search for relevance", then warning they would "spend money like drunken sailors". ~AA

@Nigel_Farage
Christian Wakeford defects as an MP from Tory to Labour.

If he calls a by-election then that's fine.

If not, he is the Dishonourable Member for Bury South.

The private family life of twice divorced Nigel Farage, who had children with both of his ex wives.... and now lives with his girlfriend.... is none of my business... just as the private family lives of everyone else are none of his.

Who better to represent the interests of the working man than Danny Kruger, he being an old Etonian son of a wealthy property developer & Dame Prue Leith, as well as having been political secretary to old Etonian Boris Johnson.

He’ll smash the metropolitan elite in no time.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality.

We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

But he won't hold a surgery in Clacton for love or money because he's scared of being knifed to death with a milkshake...

When YouGov asked voters to rank parties: Lib Dems were in 80% of voters’ top 3. Reform came fifth for 50%.

But, under FPTP, Reform could still win a majority.

This is not democracy.

Stephen McNair reports

At last: a serious way to rescue our failing democracy

When we are close to choosing a government that half the voters would never vote for, democracy is failing. MPs are calling for reform
