Zack Polanski saying what every politician should be saying,

"It's problematic to weaponise the synagogue attack to silence protest in this country against the genocide in Gaza"

"These are separate things and we should condemn them both"

About time consequences were faced for the PPE scandal…

But why only Michelle Mone?

£15b worth of contracts were flagged with a corruption risk

So where’s the rest of them?

And what about the Tory ministers who greenlit that institutionally corrupt VIP lane?

Quite the opposite, it is losing them a massive amount of support as they collapse in the polls & many Labour supporters head to the Greens, Lib Dems or the 'don't knows'. Starmer has again grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory.

This ruling is a joke.

PPE Medpro will go bankrupt and the Government won't get a penny.

Michelle Mone should have to pay the £122m personally.

RT if you want to see her pay it all back.

I remember staying up all night to watch the 2024 GE results coming in, buoyed up by the utter obliteration of the Tory party. The icing on the cakefest was seeing Liz Truss get her comeuppance and scuttle out of the count.

It felt like better things were at least possible.

Not any more.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician.

He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales.

A Brexit Party MEP.

A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:

"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."

This is a MASSIVE story

Then he needs to take sane measures to stop them.

Bored with repeating myself but:

Return BBC to independence
Reform the Press
Make Public Information films to refute their big lies.
Proscribe openly fascist groups.

No one can see what Labour has done in power, or can do in power because all they talk about is immigration. They are centering on exactly what Reform want. If challenged Reform on other policies Reform would melt.

Zia Yusuf reaffirms that Reform UK will leave the ECHR and ditch the Human Rights Acts

And they'll do that so they can deport those who are legally in the UK

Just a reminder.

Immigrants commit less crime than the average citizen.
Immigrants pay more tax than the average citizen.
Immigrants overwhelmingly work the jobs average citizens don't want to do.

Without immigration there would be MORE crime and many services would collapse.

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna.

Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up.

Like if you want Mone on trial.
RT if you want them both facing the music.

If you wrap yourself in national flags and go on a fascist march with violent thugs… you shouldn’t be validated by our media.
It was a march for racism, for radicalised prejudice, for mass deportations and for threat against ethnic minorities. It was an ugly expression of division.
Shameful.

Call these people out, they have called for the overthrow of the democratically elected government. Treason and sedition, arrest Robinson, sanction Musk, block X, proscribe these rightwing thugs. Farage and his ilk must report to Parliament to explain their actions.

What did we have at todays 'United the Kingdom' march

1. Americans jetting in to take part.
2. A lot of Israel flags being flown.
3. Elon Musk, the main funder, appearing by video link to tell people they coming to kill you, you must fight back.

It wasn't British or peaceful

The Police say there were only 9 arrests today.

Are we ok with this? The Police NOT arresting violent thugs who are actually dangerous, but arresting little old ladies who aren't.

Is that ok? Is that good?

Right: "My mum's Yemeni-Israeli, my dad's Russian-Polish, they met in America, my dad grew up in Australia, and my children are half Chinese"

Man a product of mass immigration is complaining about mass immigration 🤷‍♂️

Even the BBC has finally caught up with Farage.

Slower than continental drift, but they're there at last.
