This latest piece of corrupt fuckery from Reform was tucked away on pages 1 & 4 of the Sunday Times. So, while media rightly rages about the murky Epstein network, it stays wrongly quiet on the murky money networks that are trashing our democracies right now. Do we wait until the fraud is in No10?

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Braverman is one of the most repulsive politicians out there. Vicious, fascistic, useless, without principle, loyalty or *any* actual genuine success to her name.
Just cheating, lying, letting people down and delivering failure. No wonder she feels she’s “come home” to Reform. It’s a perfect fit.

Why TF would you ‘give Reform a go’?
Yes. They represent change. But not good change. Not the change people want.
This lot would torch everything we value and rely upon (NHS, public services, our rights, protections…)

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
