The accusation of election fraud is a complete fabrication with zero evidence! Apart from a video of my National Press Officer, London Area Manager and a senior Reform campaigner discussing it.

Minus £6,000 so that’s £15,000”??
Can’t even fckn get that right.

If you do vote for them do yourselves a favour and get checked over by a doctor and stop putting these twats in our lives.

We know how to bowl the googly, zooter, flipper, carrom ball, arm ball, doosra, top spinner, and slider. None of our players can actually bowl them. It's understanding the theory that counts in life.

This is one of the main US news topics I follow here in the UK and probably the one I feel the most strongly about. I'm fairly sure that the desire to be an ICE agent should be enough to bar someone for life from ever becoming one.
"She said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen.
“I just kept repeating it — I’m a U.S.-born citizen. I was born and raised here. This is my home. My baby’s waiting for me...”
She screamed “Leave me alone...”

I don't think too many supporters of any club would disagree with this sentiment. Salah is on an extremely lucrative contract and is (or maybe was) adored by LFC's support. Poor way to engineer an exit. Alexander-Arnold is probably looking on with bemusement.

This is how Chris Mason, like a child filled with wonder, described "the choreography and theatre that surrounds a Budget" in Feb 2024, when a male Tory Chancellor was in post.
"Plans, or even just options, can be floated... Reaction to them can be tested. Opponents can be teased or wrongfooted." 👀
