The constant demonisation of Reform has caused a toxic culture in which violence against individuals was inevitable.

No other politician has faced the demonisation which @Nigel_Farage has experienced over many years Even in the Commons he has been constantly barracked and shouted down @AllisonPearson is absolutely correct
Britain can’t stop illegal migrants crossing the Channel, but it can stop Päivi Räsänen, a Christian grandmother and former Finnish Interior Minister, from changing planes at Heathrow.
Christian views on marriage now make you a security threat.
This country has lost its mind.
Watching some SNP politicians tie themselves in knots over whether they can support England is genuinely amusing.
It's a football match.
England are our next-door neighbours and a fellow Home Nation. Nobody's asking you to wear a St George's Cross or sing Three Lions. Just put the chip on the table for 90 minutes, enjoy the match and back another Home Nation.

The Gay Men's Network was outrageously libelled by Amnesty as "anti rights" despite our work to protect the 80-90% gay/lesbian youth at gender clinics where staff joke "soon there will be no gay people left".
We are beyond grateful, emotional and touched by the decency of JKR.
Labour, the Lib Dems and the Greens have all been blatantly inciting violence and hatred towards Reform politicians, the Police need to stop this before anyone else is hurt.....
🚨BREAKING: At the last minute the India-UK Trade Deal was changed to give Indian workers in the UK a national insurance exemption up to FIVE YEARS (previously three)
Labour are literally incentivising British companies to hire Indians over Brits

Wales Has Been Left Out of The National Inquiry. Today Gave Its New Labour Leader No Excuse Left
Gwent Police have charged eight men over alleged child sexual offences against children in South Wales, spanning 1985 to 1996.
Every one of these men is presumed innocent, and nothing in this piece changes that.
The names: Shafaq Mohammed, 58. Syed Mohammed Ashan Taqvi, 65. Mohammed Sheikh Abdul Hannan, 54. Kevin Lawrence, 54. Sheikh Mohammed Tahir Ullah, 73. Aminur Rahman Chowdhury, 58. Shakeel Babur, 58. Murad Ali, 57.
Newport, Abergavenny, Swansea, with prosecutors saying there are links further afield still being worked out. The case goes to court now.
Most people will scroll past this as just another historic case. They shouldn't, and here's why.
The alleged offending starts in 1985. The inquiry's own timeframe starts in 1996. That's eleven years of this case sitting outside the period the inquiry has agreed to look at, and it's happening in one of the first major prosecutions announced since the inquiry opened its doors.
And we've learned this the hard way, over and over, in town after town. Where there's one gang, there's usually many more. Oldham taught us that. Rotherham taught us that. Every single time one of these cases gets prosecuted, it turns out to be a single thread pulled from something far bigger that nobody wanted to look at directly. Eight men charged today doesn't mean eight men is the whole picture. It rarely is.
The years that matter in cases like this are never the last ones. They're the first ones. The moment a child said something to an adult and that adult decided what to do about it, or didn't. Whether that was a police officer, a social worker, a teacher, doesn't much matter. What matters is that none of it gets built in a year. It takes a decade to bed in. Sometimes two.
So if these charges hold up in court, whatever went wrong institutionally around the earliest victims in this case happened almost entirely in years the inquiry has already ruled outside its scope.
We were told this inquiry exists to drag institutional failure into daylight. Here's a case alleging exactly that kind of failure, starting eleven years before the inquiry's own clock. So which is it. Does the inquiry follow the failure back to where it actually started, or does it just inherit the case at the point its own paperwork happens to switch on.
Nobody's told us yet. That's the point.
The courts will decide guilt or innocence, and that's exactly where that decision belongs. But the inquiry has a separate question in front of it now, whether it wants it or not. You can't say you're examining institutional failure and then rule out the exact years that failure was forming.
There's someone new who needs to answer for that question now. Ken Skates was confirmed today as leader of Welsh Labour, unanimous backing, first day in the job proper after months as interim. He inherits a party reduced to eleven seats and third place in the Senedd, and he inherits this case landing on the same morning as his appointment. That's not a coincidence he gets to dodge.
So here's the question for the new leader of Welsh Labour, on day one.
Will you demand that the National Inquiry into Grooming Gangs treats Wales the same way it's being forced to treat Rotherham, Oldham, Telford and Bradford, or will you let Wales carry on being the case nobody in Westminster wants to say out loud.
If Skates wants to lead differently to Eluned Morgan, this is where that starts.

Imagine the Prime Minister Under Oath
Imagine the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom dragged in front of a national inquiry into the cover-up of the Pakistani rape gangs, forced to testify under oath, forced to defend his own record.
You don't have to imagine it. You just need to help me make it happen.
For eight years I've exposed how politicians and police covered up the gang rape of working-class White girls by Pakistani rape gangs. With the people of Oldham behind me, I led the campaign that forced the national inquiry into existence. Now, with your help, we force that inquiry somewhere it does not want to go.
The Cover-Up of the Cover-Up
As Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham fronted a series of Assurance Reviews. One of them was in my hometown, Oldham. It buried the truth rather than exposed it. Don't take my word for it. Ask Maggie Oliver. She has reached the same conclusion.
We forced the national inquiry despite his efforts, not because of them. Burnham once defended the robustness of a review that has since been exposed as a cover-up. Now he is rewriting what he actually did.
Why This Matters Before It's Too Late
Right now, the national inquiry will not investigate Burnham or his conduct. His deceit is set to go unchallenged. We intend to change that before the inquiry reaches Oldham.
Once Burnham is in Downing Street, the pressure to protect him will be immense. The institutions that failed these girls will do everything they can to avoid holding a prime minister to account. Much of the press will look away, as it always has. So it falls to us to carry the truth where they won't.
What This Community Becomes
This is why I'm turning this readership into something I can no longer run on my own. Red Wall and the Rabble needs to grow into a proper independent investigative outlet.
Before Burnham reaches Number 10, Red Wall and the Rabble needs 2,000 more paid subscribers. That's the scale of what's coming. But today, we only need two.

Should we succeed, politicians will go to prison. It is as simple as that. Surely, on this prospect alone, it is worth your support.
Now officially on the parliamentary record
I’ve formally submitted a motion to the Scottish Parliament (S7M-00639) calling out the vile comments by University of Aberdeen staff member Heather Herbert.
He hoped for Ann Widdecombe to suffer an ‘extremely painful death’ while handcuffed and screaming in agony
Ann Widdecombe RIP 🙏
@aberdeenuni act now, he must be suspended & sacked
I’m glad @ZiaYusufUK named and shamed people who have used vile rhetoric against Ann Widdecombe and Reform:
David Lammy
Wes Streeting
Jess Phillips
Ed Davey
Lisa Nandy
Lucy Powell
Tory Chairman
Keir Starmer
Putin murdered citizens. To compare Farage to him is disgusting.
It's a shameful day for the Church of England, says Julian Mann, as its General Synod passes an anti-Israel motion pledging to "engage with" what the Chief Rabbi calls a "shocking" document containing "so much falsehood". https://t.co/fAcUENWzub
SNP Government refuse to hand over cash meant to be 'ring-fenced' for Scotland's churches🤔
Haud on a minute. Honest John will surely intervene, for he is a man of deep and abiding faith, is he not?

‘If Farage wants to be PM, he should be prepared to face a lot of scrutiny’.
So why didn’t this apply to Starmer, and why isn’t this applying to Burnham, then? 🤔
#TwoTierMSM
“People have to take clear positions quickly.”
It’s incredible that Burnham is giving an interview to Gary Lineker while refusing to answer questions in the Commons. It’s also becoming increasingly obvious that he’s going to capitulate to the pro-Pal mob. It won’t win back the Muslim vote.
🚨 THE ULTIMATE WESTMINSTER SNAKES EXPOSED.
Do you want to know what is funny about the Labour Party?
Well, absolutely nothing. But they are the biggest, most duplicitous snakes in political history. 🤡
At PMQs today, every single Labour MP stood up to cheer, clap, and fight back tears as Keir Starmer walked away from the despatch box for the final time.
It is a sickening, two-faced comedy!
These are the exact same MPs who spent the last year secretly plotting behind his back, briefing the press that he was a useless fraud, and forcing his resignation after less than 2 years in the job.
They did not stab him in the back because they respected him.
They did it because they were absolutely terrified of Farage and Reform wiping them out of Westminster!
They will happily run a brutal backroom coup to save their own careers, and then stand in Parliament and weep for the cameras like they are grieving a hero.
They treat the highest offices of our country like a pathetic, high school drama while everyday people are left to suffer under their failing policies.
Good riddance to Starmer, but do not forget the frauds standing behind him.
RT if you are completely sick of this corrupt uniparty and demand a General Election NOW! 🔁🇬🇧🔥
You would have thought that on the last PMQs until September that Starmer, Badenoch, and Davey could have all refrained from attacking Nigel Farage.
Guess what?🤔 Instead, they all participated in the usual pile on.
Doing this against the background of Ann Widdecombe's political murder, and that fact that someone calling themselves a 'Lib Dem' has today been arrested for multiple death threats against Nigel Farage.
No wonder the Uni-party are increasingly despised across the entire country.🤨
Keir Starmer has nothing to celebrate about. He’s been the worst PM in decades. The most despised.
The most divisive.
This attempt to whitewash just how bad he’s been, is truly remarkable.
Honestly.
