If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it.

We cannot allow him & others to rewrite history.

Outrageous.

Ministers should be listening to scientists, frontline communities and those working towards a green transition – not hosting the interests of oil giants in their own offices.

Donald Trump destroyed public service broadcasting in the US - it's little surprise Nigel Farage wants to do the same thing here.

Trump’s America, don’t let it become Farage’s Britain.

My granddad was a refugee, my wife, our close friends and those of our kids are either immigrants or the children of immigrants.

Do ministers ever think about the message their rhetoric on "handouts" and "golden tickets" for migrants sends about whether this is a government for people like us?

PFI deals signed under Tony Blair left the NHS without enough money to treat patients, while private investors made billions in profits.

Nigel Farage wants attention for *saying* he’d scrap the 2-child benefit cap. But in the vote against it, did he show up?

No. Zero Reform MPs voted against the cap in July.

Green MPs put it in our costed manifesto, signed the motion, and voted to scrap it. Actions not words.

Choosing to take money from disabled benefit claimants rather than levy a wealth tax is simply immoral 👇
Labour mollifies the rich, targets disabled people and claims moral justification. There isn’t any | Frances Ryan
Ministers run away from a wealth tax and then concoct a punitive benefits system. They have made that choice and it’s immoral, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

Spot the difference...

Labour want to force people into work by cutting disability benefits, a decision experts say will push 700,000 disabled households into poverty.

People voted for change, Keir, not more of the same Tory cruelty.

OK so now that Reform UK are down to the same amount of MPs as the Green Party there really is no excuse for not giving them the same amount of screen time on current affairs shows.

And zero percent of Reform MPs do any real work for their constituents❗️🤷🏼‍♂️

I’d rather have 97% of migrants stay here, eager to work and contribute to society, as opposed to 5 Reform MPs costing £93,000 a year each, plus expenses, grifting off us taxpayers 👍🏼

The cost of reaching net zero in the UK by 2050 is now predicted to be just 0.2% of GDP (about £4 billion per year).

Spread this far and wide. It reveals Reform and the Conservatives' opposition to net zero for being 'too expensive' as just plain wrong.

BP and others are scrapping renewable energy projects and increasing oil & gas production because they made a few less BILLION in profits last year.

All while temperature records keep being smashed and extreme weather becomes more frequent.
