Nigel Farage has just said Reform will vote AGAINST lifting the 2 child cap, despite promising to lift it in May.

Reform doesn’t care about working class kids - or their families.

The Palestine hunger strikers have been on hunger strike for over 60 days and are close to death.

They have not even been convicted of a crime - they are being held on remand (pre-trial) for more than twice the max time allowed, and counting…🧵

Finally now our priority should be, better bloody late than never:

We need INDEPENDENCE from the USA.

That means security independence, economic independence, digital independence.

It isn’t easy but we have no choice.
That should be our number 1 goal.

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.

Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

Everyone braced for a battle… But this wasn’t a fight. It was a heartwarming reunion between two long-lost brothers in the Masai Mara 🦁☺️💙

Millions of documents so far, and not a single trans person or drag performer in the Epstein Files hurting children... seems to be 100% wealthy cis white folks.
Imagine that.

Trump is coming after our BBC. He’s suing it for $10 billion, and the Conservatives and Reform are cheering him on.

The BBC must not pay Trump a penny. Instead of rolling over, it should sue Trump back for the lies he’s telling about it.

Here I am with Reform councillor Andrew Harrison, who was one of a group of people fined over £1m for employing illegal workers. Like all good patriots, he hates immigrants, apart from the ones he can exploit for profit.

Bill increases of nearly a third for millions of ordinary people have helped Thames Water's profits soar to over £400 million. Foreign hedge fund lenders want more power to pollute our waters and raise our bills. Privatised water is a scam. Let's bring it back into public hands.

Wow. Just wow.

Glad this was caught on camera and dealt with appropriately.

Let's hope she learns from this experience and becomes a better person. The bar isn't very high.

Robbie Gibbs mission is to either make the BBC a right wing pro Israeli, pro Trump mouthpiece or it is to destroy it altogether.

This is what I want to see. A politician calling ministers out for their actions.

I'm furious I gave these people my vote in the last election.
“They went for pensioners, they went for the disabled, and now they’re going for people fleeing war and conflict. I am furious — this government should hang their heads in shame.”
