Portes "Theres a lot of nonsense talked, including on Sky, about the spiralling welfare bill.. as a proportion of our national income.. its lower than it was 15yrs ago & its pretty much back to what it was under Thatcher.. this idea its out of control is just wrong"
Spot on!
Every single @reformparty_uk voter would be screaming resign if Keir Starmer was caught taking a secret £5mil payment #BRIBE and then secretly buying houses for cash
So why is it ok for @Nigel_Farage to be #Corrupt to Reformerphiles
Reform voters only care about racism and flags
🚨🇬🇧 ANALYSIS: Tommy Robinson Inc.
Tommy Robinson raised millions from the public, ran it through companies that never filed a single set of accounts, and dissolved them owing the taxman over £300,000.
Not filing accounts is a crime. No one stopped him.
People ask how he affords the lifestyle. Wrong question. Look at the paperwork.
Let's take a closer look 🧵⬇️
EXCL: Nigel Farage has been trying to block Bank of England cryptocurrency plan that could be costly for billionaire bankrolling his party.
Reform UK leader has said Christopher Harborne wants nothing in exchange for millions donated to party and undeclared £5m personal gift to Farage revealed by Guardian.
But Farage used private meeting at Bank to urge governor to drop plans for state-run alternative to digital currency that has made his Thailand-based benefactor one of richest people in world.

For those sucking up and regurgitating all the misinformation because it suits the narratives that outrage you:
1) YouTube is not being banned. The under-16 friendly version remains available. Content design for adults does not.
2) BlueSky has not been exempted. No definitive list has been published yet.
Social media was created for adults, not children. Over the years it has been used by more and more by children to access unsuitable, addictive and damaging content. Mental health issues in kids has accellerated sharply since they began regularly accessing this content, including a 50% rise in suicide rates over just 10 years.
If you are outraged by legislation designed to provide significant protection for children, then you are the problem, not the legislation.
A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved.
B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf
One of the biggest problems of today is journalists like Fabrizio pull a figure out of thin air and publish it as a transfer valuation. It’s people like him who inflate the prices so much these days.
🚨🇵🇹 Manchester United remain keen on Mateus Fernandes with more clubs also in the race.
José Mourinho mentioned his name to Real Madrid yesterday, more Premier League clubs showing interest.
Price tag around £85m.

You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts.
You voted against banning fire and rehire.
You voted against day one sick pay for workers.
You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.
Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.
You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.
It is absolutely ridiculous at this point that we are supposed to believe even 5% of Rupert Lowe's engagement is organic. A random post about @DavidLammy - 8000 likes in 53 minutes. The average View>Like ratio on this platform is around 1%... Rupert's dumb posts are averaging 14%!
Oh but he happens to be supported by the guy who owns this platform you say? 🤔
