You don’t get to play guilty or innocent via the electorate & the political system.
Imagine if every MP resigned in order to ask the public to exonerate their dodgy dealings… we’d be at the ballot box on a daily basis.
Justice isn’t a popularity contest!
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.
"If you use the media to tell your anti-establishment story relentlessly on the way up, then when the media start asking legitimate questions - like where did your money come from? - you can't turn round and start berating them."
What happens now Farage's quit as Clacton MP?
Farage says this is all about “the people versus the establishment.”
Just a reminder that he:
RECEIVED £5 MILLION
FLOGS GOLD BULLION…
and HAS FIVE HOUSES.
Which side does he think he’s on?
What we are seeing in Reform is a total man-child who is throwing the sort of tantrum my 3 year old toddler couldn’t even aspire to achieve.
Self-indulgence won’t change the £5m.
It won’t change his toxic politics.
It won’t help anybody in this country.
Total, utter, joker. ❌
@SkyNews But, seriously, what's this supposed to achieve?
Not as if the allegation against him was lack of democratic mandate or something, that he can disprove by being elected.
Even if he does win again, how does that prove there's been no wrongdoing related to the donations?
@SkyNews That was a pretty disgraceful 10 minutes of victim playing,MP’s have been murdered and he’s the victim because of a milkshake?
He appeals to the uneducated and somehow it always works
UKIP didn’t work, Brexit didn’t work, Reform won’t work. Nigel Farage does not care about you
Immigration is not the reason that you can’t get a hospital appointment, it’s the reason you can get one.
Please retweet for all the people who can’t seem to grasp that.
Rishi Sunak(Oct 2022) on why he didn't need to call a general election when he became Prime Minister:
"I know he(Johnson) would agree that the mandate my party earned in 2019 is not the sole property of any one individual, it's the mandate that belongs to & unites all of us..."
The issue isn't Starmer, per se, it's the fact that we all now know, whoever is PM, unless it's some far right leader with friendly tax policies for the ultra wealthy, they will be met by a barage of misinformation and relentless online attacks: accusations they support p**dophiles & r*pists, that they jail 12,000 innocent people every year for tweeting; and all the usual misleading, manipulative BS designed to exploit people's emotions.
This won't stop until they have installed the party they want. A party that will be focussed purely on optimising the affairs of its wealthy backers, and not on the working people and families of Britain.
A democratically elected British Prime Minister has been driven from office by a relentless campaign of propaganda and misinformation; funded, amplified and perpetuated by foreign billionaires and elites whose interests bear zero resemblance to those of ordinary working people.
A noble gesture from an emotional Keir Starmer, entirely consistent with his conduct in office.
A truly sad day for British democracy.
His full resignation speech:
It can take many leaders years to grow into the statesman you became in just two years.
European and Ukrainian security is stronger because of you.
Thank you, dear Keir.
If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.
On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.
After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.
We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...
President Obama has a unique way of ROASTING Donald Trump without mentioning him by name, and it drives Trump nuts.
He just did it again, this time in front of every living president.
Watch this. 🔥
If Keir Starmer, Ed Davey or Zack Polanski or even Badenoch took a £5million bung or used the language Farage has twice..
They would be GONE. The media alone would have hounded them out of their job within a week.
There's your two tiers alright.
And it is the media.
