Zahawi is a perfect fit for his new party because every single Reform member spouts an absolute load of nonsense like Zahawi did this morning on LBC . According to Zahawi if you look tired apparently you are a threat . Anyone that believes this rubbish give your head a wobble.
All the Far Right grifters talking our country down all the time while claiming to be patriotic, are seriously getting on my goat❗️
Zahawi joins Farage, London Mayor wannabe Leila Cunningham”, Rupert Lowe-Life etc in claiming London isn’t safe..
We know it’s complete bollox because they’re talking🤷🏼♂️

Nadhim Zahawi thinks London is now unsafe, because the other day a tired-looking man walked past him during the morning rush hour.

Absolutely brilliant take-down by @fionaharvey.bsky.social
of ludicrous myths & misinformation spouting from Tony Blair’s think tank. Why on earth does he think it’s sensible to make our energy more costly & less secure?

Tony Blair’s oil lobbying is a misleading rehash of fossil fuel industry spin
Ex-PM’s thinktank urges more drilling and fewer renewables, ignoring evidence that clean energy is cheaper and better for bills

Speaking as an immigrant out of Monaco, Sir Jim Ratcliffe told us this week that Britain has been “colonised”.
Except that Britain still writes its own laws, controls its own borders and governs its own migration system.
Almost as though he doesn’t have the foggiest what he’s talking about.
