“Let them call you racists. Let them call you xenophobes. Let them call you nativists. Wear it as a badge of honor.”

A group of Reform Party members have begun a "Reformers for Remigration" group. It is praised by the extreme Steve Laws, who got 0.4% in Dover
Laws was - madly - on the Reform approved candidate list, until June 2023 when Richard Tice threw him out for advocating deporting Rishi Sunak + myself

Farage always complains he is silenced in Parliament but yesterday he was given the opportunity to speak as he requested and he couldn’t be bothered to turn up. What an utter hypocrite.

Does the Reform Party represent a real fresh start for Britain?
Or are they maybe just paying creators to spread the most brainless propaganda for them?

Because our politics is in such a terrible place, I think we downplay quite how awful Kemi Badenoch has been.
In any other era the leader of the Conservatives saying 'only migrants commit sex crimes - mass deportations now' would have not just been career ending but would've sunk the whole party

It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.

And just like that, the historic Employment Rights Bill lands. Sick pay from day one. Day-one parental leave. Unfair dismissal rights after six months. Ban fire-and-rehire. Bereavement leave. Protections for pregnant women. Tougher redundancy rules. Fair Work Agency to enforce rights. #ukpolitics

The credulity that some MPs - and some journalists - display in engaging on X is most worrying
Most think they’re ‘not vacating the public square’
In reality their brains are being fired and their idea of what ‘the public thinks’ completely manipulated - which has massive potential consequences

There are MPs still interacting with the far right on X. A platform designed and run to undermine the UK and to shatter its values with hatred and violence. They're talking to people who want to deport them and who despise every word they say - and let's face it, don't believe they have any rights.
