Reform: The party of very successful aristocratic families.

That'll look great on a leaflet.

Reform have now suspended SIX councillors who were elected just five days ago

[The Observer @ObserverUK]

‘Extremist’ Reform candidates elected to councils across the country, warn campaigners.

Anti-racist group Hope Not Hate says that a dozen of the party’s new councillors have allegedly been linked to Islamophobic, antisemitic and far-right social media posts.

Reform's vetting failed. Now its leadership is failing too.

Tice was asked to condemn Gibbins's racist comments today and couldn't do it.

NEW: Standards commissioner finds Nigel Farage committed seventeen breaches of MPs code of conduct.

He failed to declare around £380,000 in outside interests (approx 4x MPs annual salary) incl payments for promoting gold, presenting on GB News and from his friend George Cottrell, within 28 days.

Reform UK leader apologised for what he described as administrative errors by his team.

In a fucking coma from 2019 to 2022 were you?

Matt Goodwin: "I'd need to look at the statistics."
Me: "We have the statistics."

On @AJHeadtoHead, I challenged Matt Goodwin over a false & inflammatory claim he made on GB News about non-Brits living in social housing:

[Tim Montgomerie 🇬🇧 @montie]

There really is something sulphurous about Matt Goodwin.
Incendiary views.
Suspect opinion polls.
Massive self-obsession.
British public life would be so much better without him.

[Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage]

Jenrick is a fraud. I’ve alway thought so, this quote proves it.

Huge kudos to @PeterEttedgui. This is a hugely powerful & sobering interview.

@KerryDaynes What a charmer!

This country wasn't built on migration," says Conservative MP Katie Lam.

Hmm. What's her background, I wonder?

"Her paternal grandfather's family is of Dutch Jewish descent and her paternal grandmother's family were from Germany."

Oh.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home.

I've written to @KemiBadenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

I’m increasingly concerned about the safety of Jews in the UK so I’ve set up a donation to @CST_UK

It was fast, easy, and the very least I could do.

If you’re feeling powerless and don’t know how to help the UK Jewish community, consider donating: https://t.co/JKFmyn9g1K
