We're seeing a clear pattern from Reform now. We saw it in Southampton. We've seen it in Belfast. They're all over social media and the airwaves with inflammatory and provocative language. Then when violence occurs, they go to ground.
Rupert Lowe, a 68 year old, privately educated, former investment banker, backed by the world's richest man, is trying to convince you he's not the establishment.
Andy Burnham - I know my words have consequences … all politicians do. if you give a statement at 8 am in the morning you are well aware of what you say and what might happen later in the day. Those consequences were seen on the streets of Southampton later that day.

I’ve been a huge critic of Keir Starmer but today this was spot on.
The death of Henry Nowak is a tragedy that should indeed be a turning point. I get the anger but the point of that turn however isn’t to get bladdered and fight coppers. It achieves nothing.
There's not a single person in Britain who doesn't agree that the death of Henry Nowak was a tragedy, and the way the police handled it was absolutely disgraceful.
There's only one political party, however, who want to take that family's pain and politicise it for their own benefit.
Number of people asking me to comment on the Henry Nowak case. His father said "We do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension". If you can't respect his wishes, you're scum. That's what I think.
Total horse shit.
Why only intervene on the attacking offences?
Defenders can continue to wrestle attackers before the ball comes in and still it'll come to nothing other than a pointless conversation with the ref.
After the Manchester 10k, campaigning in the hills of Hindley was a tough ask!
And my opponents are getting a little more desperate in what they are throwing at me.
But I won’t be deflected and am sticking to the game plan! 💪🏻
Reform supporters. Come on guys. There are 44 million adults in the UK. You're seriously saying you couldn't find a single working class bloke who hasn't publicly boasted about wanting to sniff Carol Vorderman's a******e.
