Nigel Farage once vehemently believed that defections should trigger by-elections…

I challenged Reform’s Andrea Jenkyns on his now opposite stance

And this was the state of her response…

Gordon Brown played a blinder during the financial crisis. Little wonder he's pissed off at the conduct of Mandelson at the time.
Brown will be history's most unappreciated PM. He was, and is, terrific IMHO.

We really shouldn’t have to be spending our time and money to get Ofcom to be transparent about its dealings with platforms.
Later this month, Clean Up The Internet will be seeing Ofcom in court over its refusal to disclose basic information about its dealings with tech companies.

The Railways Bill is making its way through Parliament. But it’s missing 4 vital ingredients that would make it truly work for passengers, not private profiteers:

1 Bring Rolling Stock into public ownership
2 Lower fares
3 Re-opening closed lines
4 Listen to passengers and give them a voice.

Make sure your MP knows how the Railways Bill can delivers for passengers - email your MP
Invite your MP to learn more about how they can fight to make sure the Railways Bill delivers for passengers.

🚨 The gov has agreed a #NHS drug price hike with Trump’s administration - and neither the public nor MPs have had a say in it.

This deal could force the NHS to pay BILLIONS more for medicines, pushing other services to breaking point. Watch, share, and tag your MP. 👇🏽

The Express… and Farage… want Brexit to be even worse than this…

Even more cost. More losses. More red tape. More queues. More businesses failing. Less tax revenue. Less investment. Less protection. Fewer rights. Less security.

But more white.
Their racism ruins us.

Tragic really. 10 years on. Rocking back and forth in its pungent prejudice-and-nostalgia-soaked corner, begging the architects of their precious Brexit to make - whatever their impossible fantasy was - come true.
It’s truly pathetic.
