And yet here we are with Reform again - the usual suspects.

The BBC’s platforming of this party is unbelievable.

It must have really hurt someone to schedule Zack ;)

The wheels are falling off the Trump train.

House GOP unrest against the govt shutdown is starting. If the House reopens, Grijalva is sworn in and the Epstein discharge vote goes to the floor.

Eric Swalwell suspects 100+ Republicans will “jail break” and vote to release the files.

Why on earth would it be?

These people are entirely bonkers. They have to stop physically touching Truss because she’s got something viral and they’re all catching it.

A year after being booted out of office in one of the most resounding electoral defeats in history, apparently only the Tories can now “fix Britain”.

I wonder who broke it? 🤔

If only waving a tiny cheap Union Flag was all that was required.

Kemi Badenoch appears to be getting plaudits for a speech in which she breezily claimed to have found £47,000,000,000 in savings.

The inconvenient truth is that these numbers are nothing more than a fantasy.

This really is Liz Truss's party now.

Even by Trump family standards, Eric is the village idiot.

And that’s quite the statement.

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss.

If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled.

A house in Clacton bought with unknown finances, a Russian funded Welsh leader and now an investigation into the finances and tax affairs of one of Farage’s key ally.

The treachery and corruption is right in front of the media’s eyes and they do and say, NOTHING!

Lord Heseltine, "The number of people aged below 50 who think it was right for us to leave the European Union, is less than 20%

"The latest polls tells us 56% now believe it was mistake to leave the European Union"

Hands up if you are one of the 56% 🙋‍♂️

Now the White House doesn’t want to give furloughed workers back pay once the government reopens, even though Trump signed the 2019 law requiring it. Disgraceful.
Tweet from @TheDemocrats: “Senate Republicans just blocked Democrats’ bill that would have reopened the government and saved health care for millions of Americans. This is the fifth time they’ve done this. Republicans are responsible for this shutdown.” There’s no attached image or video, only text.

There’s a lot of noise about the European Court of Human Rights “blocking” the UK from deporting illegal migrants.
So… does the ECHR actually stop deportations?
Here’s what the data really says 🧵👇

UK will leave ECHR if Tories win election, Badenoch says www.bbc.com/news/article...

The European Convention on Human Rights has become a focal point in debates around changing immigration policy.
