The host let it slip out that the uni grad is a member of Reform UK Ltd.

We don't have 'DEI' in the UK.
That's American.
Just more white nationalist nonsense from Eva Braun.

If this uni grad wants a job, just become a white nationalist propagandist like Alex Phillips, and the BBC will blow up your phone with job offers and invitations to political shows.
It's the easiest grift in the world.

I see one of the BBC's favourite bigots is on, today.
When she's not messing around with Kenyan elections, she's proclaiming white nationalist ideals.
If Oswald Mosley were alive today, he'd be regularly sitting on comfortable sofas at the BBC.
She's a vile propagandist.

Everything this MAGA regime does tells you that they're preparing the ground for a military coup.
I don't think America will make it to the midterms.

When in doubt, say you'll cut foreign aid.
It's just the same old economic manure that the Tories keep on shovelling onto the farm.
They're done.

The UK government proscribed Palestine Action, but a man who pledged allegiance to ISIS ends up committing an actual terror attack in Manchester.
The government's method of proscription is a farce.

It's the prelude to a MAGA military coup in America.
If this were happening in an eastern European state, the world's news desks would be flocking to cover it.

The amount of weaponry that Israel has is extraordinary.
If I were a neighbouring country of Israel, I'd be worried about future annexations.

The Tories cut overseas aid already.
It's economic doo-doo.
That policy announcement was Kemi Badenoch's last desperate attempt at keeping her job.
She's done.

These people were screaming at the Labour government when they put a cap on winter fuel payments, but now they have the brass neck to talk about ending the pensioners' triple-lock?
