@BukayoSaka87 Hello Bukayo.
Congratulations for the hard fought win yesterday.
Can I request an invitation to watch Arsenal final home game against Burnley at the Emirates.
Thank you.
From your Nigerian Big fan in London
'I like to go into London and be served by white people.'
Caller Sean attempts to explain the 'anger driving Reform's popularity', Vanessa Feltz accuses him of being 'morally reprehensible'.
Reform's election results do not prove they dominate the country. Their vote share fell, they control around 6% of councils, and Farage has a net favourability rating of minus 38. The media narrative of inevitability serves Reform far more than the facts do.
A British analyst examined if Reform UK is good for your area, by examining the 13 councils already run by Reform. The results are disappointing. E.g., Reform Worcestershire issued the highest council tax in the country this year.
Before Nigel Farage and Reform UK tell you he is now Prime Minister, note there are 650 MPs in Parliament and 20,000 councillors in the UK.
Today’s results will likely end with Reform UK having 2500-3000/20,000 councillors and still just 8/650 MPs.
GBNews, the Express, Spectator and Mail will tell you he’s about to be handed the keys to No.10. But it’s local elections, they will all be disappointed.
Awon eyan Oluomo immigration fraud claims he fled Nigeria because he is gay and is facing persecution. Doesn’t have a job but gets free accommodation and enough money to party on a Saturday night. He has a wife and two kids in Nigeria and will soon bring them over to Ireland ☺️.
A Reform councillor overseeing children's religious education posted that Africans are "backward." She is the third racism scandal from the same Reform-run council in Staffordshire, and Nigel Farage still calls this a vetting process.

Greater Manchester Police say they have no evidence of family voting after an extensive investigation, including speaking to Democracy Volunteers and seizing CCTV:
We’ve concluded our investigation into alleged ‘family voting’ at last month’s Gorton and Denton by-election, finding no evidence of any intent to influence or refrain any person from voting.
Our investigation into alleged influencing of voters at a polling booth (under Section 62C Representation of the People Act 1983 (Ballot Secrecy Act 2023)) began after a criminal report from the Reform UK party following a public statement made by independent electoral observers at Democracy Volunteers.
We have spoken to the four Democracy Volunteers observers present at polling stations on the day of the by-election (26 February) who have shared with us their eyewitness account. This includes some instances of more than one voter going into a booth at the same time, and instances of people looking over the shoulder of voters.
The information they have provided to us estimates this may have happened on 32 occasions across 15 polling stations.
The observers do not allege any verbal instruction or physical conduct that indicated one person was directing or coercing another regarding how to vote. This is a crucial part of the legislation to prove such an offence was committed.
Our investigation team, led by an experienced senior investigating officer, spoke to all four volunteers from Democracy Volunteers as part of our enquiries – obtaining a copy of their observations.
We also spoke to the Presiding Officers at 15 stations as well as the Acting Returning Officer, none of whom received any reports other than from Democracy Volunteers.
We have received no further criminal reports.
For us to investigate allegations, we require an understanding of who the potential suspects may be, and evidence that may corroborate eyewitness accounts. For an investigation to meet the criminal threshold for prosecution, we require admissible evidence of intent or action aimed at influencing the vote.
We have asked Democracy Volunteers for descriptions of those alleged to be involved, and timings on when these are believed to have occurred. These details were not documented by observers or the complainant, and we have not been provided with any identities or descriptions to pursue.
The absence of this information means there is no remaining reasonable line of enquiry. This also includes limitations with CCTV as an absence of descriptions, and votes not being time-stamped, meaning we are not able to identify individuals from footage.
We have approached all 45 polling stations in the Gorton and Denton constituency to ask for CCTV from the day. Forty-one of those polling stations told us they did not have CCTV activated in the building as it would have compromised the secrecy of the vote during polling day, in line with advice given.
We have seized and viewed CCTV from three of the remaining four polling stations. These are three polling station that Democracy Volunteers visited. We have spoken to the Presiding Officer from each one.
However, these stations do not show any evidence of anyone directing or coercing another regarding how to vote – the crucial part of the legislation to prove such an offence was committed.
There is no evidence to suggest any intent to influence or refrain a person from voting as stated in the Ballot Secrecy Act 2023.
We have been liaising with the Electoral Commission, who we have shared our findings with. We have also shared our findings with the Returning Officer.
We have updated the complainant about the work of our investigation and the conclusion we have reached.
Hey @KemiBadenoch,
Remember the iftar you hosted in 2023? Where the:
- Islamic call to prayer was made.
- Men and women prayed separately.
- You broke bread at iftar?
What changed Kemi?
Why the change of tone and language?
Why did you host this “domination”?
@NJ_Timothy
Dawn Butler, "The comments were Islamophobic, and banning prayer in public places is not Christian"
"Attacking Muslims is not Christian"
BBC Politics London, "Is the separation of men and women not an issue?"
Dawn Butler, "It's the same in Hinduism, (some forms of) Christianity, Judaism - religions practice it differently"
"That's not the point, the point is when you talk about values, British values, what are they?"
"My British values is not tolerance, is acceptance""
"I'm accepting of other religions, other people's way of life, of who other people love, of different colours and religions"
"Not tolerate, because i don't need to tolerate other people and their religions"
"And for a member of parliament, Nick Timothy, to say what he said publicly. And for the leader of the opposition Kemi Badenoch to double down on that, I think brings our politics into disrepute"
In 2023, @KemiBadenoch hosted an Iftar at Lancaster House. I was there. Here’s what happened:
• Call to prayer ✔️
• Men and women prayed separately ✔️
• She stayed, participated, ate food, and raised no issue ✔️
Fast forward to now and she claims Ramadan events with gender-separated prayer are “wrong” and should never have happened.
So what changed?
Not the practice. Not the format.
Just the politics and her principles.
If it was acceptable when she was in government hosting diplomats and business leaders, why is it suddenly “wrong” when it involves ordinary British Muslims?
You can’t have it both way
.@Oluomoofderby you went from COS to Nigerian passport hustle, taking advantage of people who want their passports on time.
The UK police may be slow in their investigation but I promise you, if you ever step foot in Nigeria, you will be arrested immediately.
I am in Abuja because of you this year.
I have been very busy, now I have your time.
If you have ever had any dealings with this fraud, my DM is open I beg.
Send me all the details. I will hand it over to the new IG in Abuja.
This is my last tweet on this issue.
THANK YOU FOR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER🙏
Reform UK’s Sarah Pochin MP — who said "it drives me mad when I see adverts full of black people, full of Asian people" — didn’t look too happy about Ayoub Khan MP talking about bin collections in Birmingham. #pmqs
