The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

Hey #USA #MAGA you have a President that thinks he knows how to do a deal. Says he can sort Ukraine war in 24hrs. Thinks he has the mighty. Yet why has he got a real estate guy going 5 times to Russia? This is the biggest sign of weakness. The so call deal started with everything #Putin wants.
