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.

His opportunism is bad enough.
But never forget that this is the same Nigel Farage who allegedly made hissing noises and whispered "Hitler was right" to a Jewish contemporary at school.
Things he has NEVER apologised for.

Farage “knows he has to moderate his tone and get across some budget details. But attention to detail [isn’t] his thing and responsibility bores him”…and makes a bore of him.

Economic policy is one thing Nigel Farage can’t crib from the Donald Trump playbook | Rafael Behr
The Maga model, based on the US’s exorbitant market privileges, can’t be imported to Britain. That’s going to be a problem for Reform UK, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.
Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.
Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

This is a lie.
There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.
But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

I’m sorry to say but the claim that the US under Trump is going to provide Ukraine with militarily enforced security guarantees, is simply the newest version of the Trump will hit Russia hard with sanctions delusion. Neither will ever happen, but if it makes you feel better….

Good God @nytimes, are you serious? Putin is looking for a “land deal”. He’s looking to illegally be given Ukrainian land and people. Zelensky should be under no pressure for this, Trump should be for being part of this crime.

This is a policy that would be dismissed as completely extremist even a year or two ago. And it’s now being proposed by the leader of the opposition.
If a Brit married someone born overseas and had a (British!) disabled child, for example, they would be cut off from state support under this plan.

This really is not getting the attention it should. The Tories' latest proposal is to exclude *any household that includes any foreign national from any benefit*.
And when asked about it, they keep citing small boat crossings - a minute fraction of migration - to justify it. ~AA
