'This is the real alternative to asylum hotels.'
Former Immigration Minister Kevin Foster reacts as Margaret Thatcher's home town of Grantham sees 70 homes converted into speace for illegal migrants.
Reform promised Greater Manchester the earth.
Now they’re pulling activists out to help Nigel Farage fight Count Binface in Clacton.
That tells you everything.
If you want common sense, local focus and a Mayor who will put GM first, vote Conservative.
Vote Phil Eckersley 💙
I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.
It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.
But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.
If you aren't working why can't you look after your own children? Why should working parents pay even higher taxes to fund free childcare for people on benefits?
Labour are not the party of work, they are the party of welfare.
This is the worst joke yet from @EdwardJDavey and the Lib Dems.
Using archaine procedure to block Farage resigning would look like an establishment fix up. Just what he wants. Better to let Farage go and face @CountBinface
For all the rhetoric Ed needs Farage to continue to keep his own leadership going, without a split vote on the right Lib Dem gains would become heavy losses.
“It’s in the gift of the government. They can decide whether he’s allowed to resign and whether there is this unnecessary by-election.”
Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey says Nigel Farage should be forced to remain as an MP until an investigation into his finances is finished.
Welcome to the Conservative team in Lancashire, Leon.
Great to see County Councillor Leon Graham leave Reform UK to join the @Conservatives
He joins us crediting @KemiBadenoch’s strong and principled leadership, whilst Reform remaining an unserious party of protest.
The Government must block Nigel Farage’s resignation until the Standards Commissioner finishes investigating him. The people of Clacton deserve the full facts.
If a by-election does go ahead, all parties should stand aside. We cannot give oxygen to this vanity project.
@SirSimonClarke Yep, still remember listening to Labour MPs taunting @KemiBadenoch when she delivered the budget response in November "won't be here next year", etc....
How things change.
A very different polling outlook to only a few months ago.
With @Keir_Starmer going out the door, it surely can't be too long before @EdwardJDavey follows?
Ed's comical stunts were all very funny. Yet the joke wears thin when tourism businesses get hit by tax rises, your local hospital is under threat, youth unemployment increases and energy bills go up, playing the buffoon has made the Lib Dems & their MPs irrelevant to the national debate.

If you did everything you were told you should do - worked hard, went to university, got a job - then you shouldn’t be punished for it.
Young people are facing sky-high student loan interest that keeps piling up - on top of high taxes.
Too many feel like the system is stacked against them.
That’s why the @Conservatives would scrap above-inflation interest rates on student loans, so graduates pay back what they borrowed - not years of excessive interest.
Hard work should pay. We’ve set out how we would make the system fairer. What will Andy Burnham do? So far we’ve heard nothing.
Last month a post on Sureena Brackenridge MP’s social media accounts told the story of a nurse called Maya, and her struggle to find affordable housing.
But Maya doesn’t really exist, and an image accompanying the posts appears to be made with AI.

'It's the classic stuff we've seen from David Lammy before... I've been treated personally to his faux outrage.'
Former Conservative Minister Kevin Foster reacts as Justice Secretary David Lammy pushes for diversity within the justice system.
One to remember next time you see @DaleVince in the media virtue signalling or discussing donating more money to the Labour Party.
Feel for the team which gave @TUFCWomen a challenge last season. Thankfully other club's inc @TUFC1899 & their leaders like @goddywestie are committed to developing opportunities to play at the top level for all who love the game.
