If someone is voting reform they are supporting a party which wants to introduce a manifesto of racist policies. If voters do not wish to be associated with racism they should vote for a different party. Occasionally these things really are straightforward.

It's irrational and unfair to claim that ALL 'reform' intention voters are 'racist'. It's reductive and deeply worrying that people are making this assumption.

Do racists vote reform? Yes.

Are all reform voters racist? No.

Should 'reform' be driven out of EVERY town? YES.

Didn’t BBC QT before the election change the audience composition to reflect the seat make up of the commons. I’m guessing they’ve changed that already

This is the danger with entertaining and humouring this current absurd national obsession with immigration all the time as if there is nothing else happening and as if this is the cause of every problem. It absolutely isn’t and migrant bashing isn’t part of the solution either.

There is something very wrong with their ability to communicate. The problem is partly that Reform are being allowed to set the agenda and narrative that the press talk about, somehow labour need to lead the conversation instead of following Farage’s conversation.

Now they’re by no means perfect, there’s some integral shit that is infuriating (granted) but their communications really do need sorting out because I had no clue this existed.

I was quite surprised, given the amount of negative press that would have you believe that this government is the worst we’ve had yet.

I’ll put the link in the next post but given we had a complete shit show with the Tories, this is astonishing. Do reshare or bookmark the link, it’s handy.

Under the last Tory Govt, elected in 2019, of 42 Manifesto Pledges, only
2 were delivered in 5 years.
Under the current Labour Govt, elected in 2024, of 83 Manifesto Pledges, 57 are delivered (18), on track (19), or in process (20).
In 1 year.

GB News pay party political leader Nigel Farage over half a million pounds. The TV channel pays him five times his MP salary - and as much as his other 11 further external jobs put together

Nigel Farage earns over £1m from 12 'second jobs' - check how much your MP earns

The Reform UK leader's most lucrative second jobs include hosting on GB News, serving as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion and recording videos for Cameo

The only poll that matters is the real election and Lib Dem’s have many more mps than reform. It seems like the bbc are making all the rules up and changing them as they go along, as long as it fits with their political analyst’s love affair with Farage.

As a Talksport employee, I am embarrassed by this rebuttal of what Neville said. This moron pontificates without question. It is bonkers.

And yeah, i'll probably be sacked. Fuck it.

Jordan’s rant is pure race-baiting confused disinformation.

Truly shocking & shameful to hear a BBC employee go off like this on air.

Thank you, Barry, for pushing back & standing up to the tedious angry bigotry that is being forced down our throats 👏👏👏👏

The BBC's justification for platforming Farage beyond the actual significance of his small parliamentary party are his polls. A rather cynical explanation, for he wouldn't be where he is without the constant, uncritical appearances he's given on the BBC. It's a (literally) vicious circle.

A house in Clacton bought with unknown finances, a Russian funded Welsh leader and now an investigation into the finances and tax affairs of one of Farage’s key ally.

The treachery and corruption is right in front of the media’s eyes and they do and say, NOTHING!

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Tory current ideas are vile, just chasing the Reform idiocy. They have got rid of every reasonable person from their own party. Anybody still a Tory with a modicum of moral fibre should be resigning as they have failed to control their own extremists.

We have an independent judiciary in this country. Robert Jenrick wants puppet judges.

The Conservative Party once believed in the rule of law and our shared British values - no longer.
