Reform Party UK Exposed @reformexposed.bsky.social · 10h

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.

Why are they still employing the racist? His only talent was his likeability and now that’s gone.

I’ve muted every possible permutation of the words. No interest whatsoever. In fact how did yours get through?!

Rather than worrying about a bit of a queue at the airport, can we not start to tax ludicrously cheap, virtually untaxed holiday flights properly; raise some cash to invest in UK; reduce demand and NOT waste billions on pointless airport expansions! #r4today #heathrow #gatwick

I've said it before: anyone who runs down the job that teachers do, even for such nakedly political reasons rather than from any real place of conviction, (a) should try surviving even a fucking WEEK of it themselves and (b) should then go to the bottom of a well.

Just to say that teachers do an incredibly difficult job, with all the right intentions, and can be the defining influence on a young person's life. They are the exact opposite of poisoners because good teaching provides the antidote to so many dangers

Let me tell you now. This will never happen.
1. LBHF don’t do everything they promise in the Development Plan. Ask me about light pollution.
2. TfL haven’t agreed to co-fund it.
3. It’s a terrible idea.

As you’d expect, Chris is absolutely “fascinated” by the goings-on at the Tory Party conference and what they say about its polling. So much so that he forgot the bits he was going to put in about all the Blackshirt posturing or the party’s trashing of the rule of law

Kemi Badenoch hopes to grab attention with policy blitz

The Tory leader's conference speech included a new pledge to scrap stamp duty on the purchase of main homes.

Nigel Farage is owned by Russia. Vote Leave was illegally financed by Russia. Brexit was and is a Russian active measure to harm Britain and its home in Europe.

Met my old boss from 40 years ago for coffee. The once thriving street where we worked - Grosvenor Gardens in Victoria - was mostly empty. Who has the kind of money that can leave these properties empty? (Grosvenor Estate). We need to sort out our tax system.

Handsome old office buildings, mostly unoccupied. Traffic in front.

Same. “Huh. I thought she was dead” is the first thing I think every time.
