@JanetOulag92058 He's fighting for his own interests and that of his rich mates. He's promoting division and hatred to stir voters against established parties. He was an MEP but hardly attended, he's finally an MP (after many attempts) but is hardly ever present, nicknamed mirage because of it.

@EnglishCovenant @s_jmls @MoJos2pw @GoodwinMJ Are you saying that a sizeable proportion of NHS workers are not from an immigrant background?

[Andy Brett @AndyBrett12]

@EnglishCovenant @s_jmls @MoJos2pw @GoodwinMJ If we didn't have immigrants we wouldn't have a (barely functioning) health service.

@GoodwinMJ @EnglishCovenant I wouldn't trust farage to run a bath.

@MikeB2023 You numpty. Your fuel price is entirely down to farage's mate trump.

@SamaHoole Does the government, any government, never actually consult with the farmers, the protectors of our land and providers of our food?
Give Clarkson a role in DEFRA?

@ronsterd89 I don't know about the US but in the UK it's always been normal to take the tray to the bins and dispose of the rubbish.

"Andy Burnham in his Makerfield by-election "an overwhelming case for public ownership of Thames Water."

Please RT this until Burnham's Labour Govt not only FULLY re-nationalises Thames but ALL the companies being allowed to perpetuate this fraud & pollute our waterways.

Thanks

@ChappellJe13586 They don't care about the country, they care about what they can get the most from it. They don't care about the lives of ordinary people, they care about how the rich can get richer.

@NormanBrennan @GBNEWS I've never seen GBnews and don't know anyone that has. Am I missing something?

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧☕️🫖🛢️💷🏥🧑‍🦽‍➡️🪾🏚️🔥🫵🗑️REFORM TOLD YOU THEY WERE COMING FOR IMMIGRANTS. READ WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY COMING FOR.
Here is what Reform have said, in their own manifesto and from their own senior figures, that they will do to this country.
They will abolish PIP, the payment that disabled and chronically ill British people live on. Their own document estimates 2.89 million people would have their disability support removed or cut, replaced by a far narrower scheme for only the most “severe, enduring and high-risk” cases. One in five people who receive PIP are in work.
They will scrap the health element of Universal Credit on top of that.
They will scrap net zero and every related subsidy, while the country burns through its hottest summer on record and firefighters tackle more wildfires than in the whole of last year.
They will scrap environmental levies, the petrol and diesel phase-out, ULEZ and clean air zones. Dirtier air, by design.
They will repeal the Human Rights Act and take Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights. The roadmap they align with repeals the Act outright and refuses to replace it with anything.
They will repeal the Equality Act. Suella Braverman, now a senior Reform figure, has said that on day one they will scrap the equalities department, abolish the equalities minister and repeal the Equality Act entirely. That is the single law protecting every person in Britain from discrimination on grounds of disability, race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, age and pregnancy.
They will ban what they call “transgender ideology” in every primary and secondary school within their first 100 days, and force schools to out trans children under 16 to their parents.
They will strip every Diversity, Equality and Inclusion role from every public body.
They will move the NHS toward a private, insurance-based model. Treatment at the point of use, and you pay after.
They will scrap interest on student loans while cutting undergraduate numbers “well below current levels.”
Their leader has said same-sex marriage was “wrong.” He said in 2019 that people living with HIV should not be allowed into the country. He defended Section 28, the law that once banned schools from even mentioning gay relationships. His policy chief opposes abortion even in cases of rape. The party has taken tens of thousands of pounds from anti-abortion charities. They have already banned the Pride flag across every council they control.
Now understand what leaving the European Convention on Human Rights actually means. Because this is the one they hide.
You lose. You personally.
The Convention protects the right to life, the ban on torture and degrading treatment, the right to a fair trial, the right to privacy and family life, freedom of speech and the freedom to protest. These are not rights for other people. They are the rights that protect you against the state when it wrongs you.
The families of the Hillsborough dead used these rights to force out the truth. Domestic abuse survivors have used them to make police investigate properly. Disabled people use them to challenge degrading treatment in care. Elderly couples are protected by them from being separated in care homes. Journalists and protesters, the very people who scream about free speech, rely on them directly.
Take them away, and an ordinary person has nothing higher to appeal to when the government treats them unjustly. You are left with only what that government chooses to hand you.
There are exactly two countries in Europe outside the Convention. Belarus and Russia. That is the company Reform want Britain to keep.
This was never about immigrants.
When you repeal the Equality Act, you remove the protection covering disabled people, women, ethnic minorities, older workers, pregnant women and people of every faith, all at once.

@Scarletkoito333 I'm not sure why you feel the need to tell us. We already know.

[Andy Brett @AndyBrett12]

@RobertJenrick Why should the govt (us taxpayers) pay for new reservoirs? Only if water was renationalised. Otherwise the rich, foreign owners of our water companies and should be compelled to do so.

[Andy Brett @AndyBrett12]

@LeeHarris Played it perfectly? You're having a laugh. He's cost the local council a couple of hundred thou for an unnecessary election. He'll still be investigated and the result won't change the outcome. Hes been nicknamed Mirage and he wasn't confident enough to appear for the result.

[Andy Brett @AndyBrett12]

@lbrewer190 He hardly represents working class people. He wants to rob you blind for the enrichment of himself and his cronies.
