A reminder to the media and others trying to claim this Government and Starmer are worse than anything they've ever seen, a Government which has only been in power for 19 months. Here's a handly list of the scandals we had to endure from the Tories between 2011-2024.

It's not been a good week for Reform.

Here are some of the disastrous headlines they have had across many councils they run - in just the last few days!

The last story is one you don't want to miss...

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

For every Reform voter.

Remember when the Tories were fvcking everyone over including you, and you believed that only Farage could save you?

Well, now he’s the leader of the new Tory party. The same party that wrecked the country for 14 long years.

Let’s see how that works out for you.

Of course Suella Braverman has joined Reform.

Reform is the last refuge for disgraced failed Tories, it is the political equivalent of fly tipping.

If the UK media now do not apply equal harsh measures to Nigel Farage than they did to Angela Raynor, then they are complicit in
a) a Mysoginist narrative where men are forgiven and women 'should have known better' and
b) are actively saying they are okay with Farage in charge.

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

Never forget the most ironclad rule of politics:

Every abuse you justify against another will be weaponized against you in time.

To cheer abuse, violence, or the suspension of others’ rights is to cheer the abuse, violence, and suspension of your own.

#DELETE’X

X’s UK revenue dropped by 60% over the past year as advertisers withdraw. But what sort of companies remain using a site that now makes income from child porn and the sexualising of people’s images without consent?

No one should wait for Ofcom. Now is the time to leave X.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but your desire to have a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, endless cups of tea, a riveting novel, a plate of freshly-baked emotional support scones, and a bookshelf with a rolling ladder doesn’t make you “too needy."

The weirdest thing about Americans is how many of them think their laws apply to every person in the world.
But they're certain other countries' laws don't apply to them.

The fun part here is that people who don’t like migrants largely believe this because they’re constantly screamed at about menacing immigrants from every TV, radio and news stand, and the whole reason that’s done is to discourage people from noticing who it is that gets most of the money, and how.

As we approach 2026 a good time to remember that Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any government to say who those rights should and should not apply to
Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any government to say who those rights should & should not apply to. Because none of us then has rights, just privileges that can be taken away by those in power

Reform UK have repeatedly said that Kent is their "flagship" council and "the shop window" for how they intend to run things.

When they are exposed as planning to slash social care for old people, in order to hire their cronies as advisors at £150k a pop, I think people should believe them. ~AA

Fox hunting is a revolting sport. It's only survived in any form because it's done by ghastly, entitled, influential and aristocratic people who feel it's the God given right to charge about the place in silly costumes tearing animals apart for no good reason.

This is ridiculous. There clearly has not been a 660% increase in terrorism
in the UK over the past year.

How much is it costing the criminal justice system to arrest and prosecute all these people for the crime of wearing a t-shirt or holding a placard?

Terrorism arrests soar by 660% after Palestine Action ban
Official figures show 1,630, or 86%, of the 1,886 arrests for terrorism-related activity in the year to the end of September 2025 were linked to supporting the group.
