Reform reveal their new branding….

It’s clear: Nigel Farage’s Reform is just the same old Conservatives that ruined the country in the first place.

Why we could end up looking back at Robert Jenrick's defection as the moment Nigel Farage's hopes of becoming Prime Minister started to die

With all the Tory defections, we are getting to the point where Labour can start to hold Reform responsible for their previous record in government. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If this greedy and ridiculous man were to become Prime Minister, he'd be responsible for our security, safety, our NHS, our economy, and the welfare of our children.

Meanwhile he can't be bothered to do even basic checks on the Cameos that rake in £141,000 for him

Reminder that in the UK an incoming radical, populist government would have immediate access to immense, unchecked executive power.

And the current government is doing nothing to protect us from that.

The UK constitution is even more vulnerable than the US constitution

In the face of an illiberal radical assault, what has happened politically in America could easily happen in the UK

67% of Reform MPs have previously been elected as representatives of the Conservative Party. They broke the country last time; do you trust them to fix it?

Fun East Midlands fact:

With Robert Jenrick's defection, there is now not a single Conservative MP in the whole of Nottinghamshire

After the 2019 general election, 8 out of 11 Notts constituencies were held by Tories

The American government is now threatening the U.K. government if it bans X.

They are threatening to bar all government officials from entering the US.

The U.K. government is trying to protect children from being sexually exploited and abused and the US government is aiding the abusers.
