Dear Reform UK.
Please could you provide us [the political public], a copy of your acceptable free speech guidance? It may help in any future mix-ups.
For example:
Reform councillor said they'd melt down Nigerian people to fill potholes — fine.
Reform councillor shares a post calling for Natalie Fleet to be shot — fine.
Reform councillor says he can't wait for Starmer to be hanging from a lamppost — fine.
A man wearing a gallows humour T-shirt — not fine.
You see where we find ourselves? You allow vile and rancid comments under the guise of Reform Free Speech™, but when you see a T-shirt with the word Nigel on it, you lose your shit.
How do you even know it meant Farage? It could have been Havers or Mansell.
If you could email me your guide forthwith, I'd be much obliged.
If you have a spare 3 mins and 45 secs today, watch this fantastic grilling by Sally Nugent on BBC Breakfast.
The very first time I've seen Farage questioned properly about his £5M bung, and it's fair to say, he totally fluffed it.
There are points when you can see Farage tremble and even accuse the BBC of putting him in danger. 🤦♂️
It was for security. It was for cars. Nobody cares. It's no one's business. He won't tell us. DANGER!
At one point, he let slip that the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may 'disagree' with him on the rules around donations.
He knows he's going to be found guilty on this one. He's in trouble, and his face gave it away gloriously.
Top hats off to Sally Nugent. Stellar work. 👏
I have lost count of what number day it is today. All I know is today is the last day @UoS_Physio. 4 years done. Thanks to all involved, lecturers, clinical educators, friends and family. How it feels today…

I always feel reassured when the national broadcaster has a good handle on the difference between an instrument of measurement and a distance. Meter/Metre. Ffs. @BBC
Keir Starmer has been a disappointment, but anyone calling him 'Britain's Worst Ever Prime Minister' in a world where Liz Truss & Boris Johnson exist must have been kicked in the head by a horse
The UK voted the Tories out of office with a vengeance after more than a decade of mismanagement, corruption and scandals, so naturally the UK then opts to vote them all back into power again, under a different name, alongside the architect of the UKs decline via Brexit.
FFS.
And just like that, the very wealthiest party in the U.K. backed by foreign billionaires is supported by the very poorest members of society who dislike foreigners. You couldn’t make this shit up.
I’ve lost count of what day it is @UoS_Physio but I do know it’s the last one on campus. 4 years nearly done. Great friends. Coming soon to a treatment room or clinic near you…
