[Skye Yates 🩵 @YatesPolitics]

Hello! 🩵

I'm Skye, I'm 17 and based in Tameside.

I'm actively involved with my local Reform UK branch, and I'm always looking to connect with like-minded people from across the country.

For those who want to know a little more about me...

I've been interested in politics since 2020. Like many people during COVID, I found myself becoming increasingly engaged with political discussions online. I actually started out on the left, but the more I looked into politics, the more I began questioning what I was seeing. The hypocrisy I felt I saw and the contradictions between words and actions pushed me to research policies for myself and form my own views.

One of the biggest turning points for me was sitting down with my dad, whose views I'd been told to villainise for years, and actually listening to what he had to say. Those conversations encouraged me to challenge my own assumptions and think independently. Seeing the direction Britain was heading, while watching America move in a direction I admired under Republican leadership, brought many issues into focus for me and strengthened my belief that Britain needed a change in approach.

Before joining my local branch, I first became involved through campaigning, where I realised I wanted to play an active role in politics.

My passion comes from wanting to see Britain thrive again. I love both Britain and America, which is why I'm particularly interested in foreign affairs and the UK-US relationship. I'm a supporter of the MAGA movement in the United States and believe Britain should remain a strong, sovereign nation with a close alliance with America.

My beliefs are simple: Britain should put its own people first. I believe in protecting our borders, stopping illegal immigration, and expecting those who legally come here to integrate into British society. I believe we should back businesses, encourage success, protect the NHS while embracing private enterprise where it works, remain firmly outside the EU, restore national and civic pride, protect our Christian heritage, end divisive DEI schemes, and ensure women are safe from predators while everyone is treated equally under the law.

Some of the people who have most influenced my political thinking include Charlie Kirk, Ronald Reagan, Elon Musk, Nigel Farage, Margaret Thatcher, Winston Churchill, and Sarah Pochin.

I’m here to stand up for what I believe in, get involved, and work towards a better future. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🩵

@J___Williamson @YoungReformers_ I was there! Were you? There were many young women.

[Ben Graham @BenGrahamUK]

We are living through truly bizarre times in British politics.

Politicians campaigning should be campaigning in English, not switching to foreign languages to target different communities.

And Zack Polanski doing this shows just how far the Greens have drifted from being an environmental protest party.

This is no longer just about climate politics. It’s a completely different political project.

[Ben Graham @BenGrahamUK]

Tonight in response to Labour's call to their members for donations, i decided to donate £100 to Reform UK.

It’s only a small donation, but every donation helps the party build, campaign and compete.

After all the attacks on Reform recently, I support them more than ever.

For me, defeating Labour at the next election is vital for our children’s futures.

@Domini_Francon @ZiaYusufUK Where? With what money? It isn't as simple as 'building new prisons.'

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

WOW.

A huge win for Reform in North Somerset, with the Tory vote collapsing 21 points!

It comes the day after Reform rises 2 points in the latest Findoutnow poll!

We will not be deterred.

Keep going Reformers! 💪🇬🇧

Hutton & Locking (North Somerset) Result:

➡️ RFM: 38.5% (New)
🔶 LDM: 33.3% (+13.7)
🌳 CON: 15.3% (-21.2)

Reform GAIN from Conservative

[Sarah Pochin MP @SarahForRuncorn]

The masked faces of the far left thugs in Britain: aggressive, intimidating and violent. That is who they are.

Thank you to the police for keeping them at bay.

🚨Anyone who enters a high-security conference intending to disrupt proceedings, particularly in the aftermath of Ann Widdecombe’s targeted murder

Should expect to be forcibly removed, full stop 🛑

[Skye Yates 🩵 @YatesPolitics]

@Georgewhtv @justIlikeMagicx @PolitlcsUK Absolutely, if it were a man the reaction would have been the same. There's free speech and there's disrupting an event to be antagonistic because you can't handle the concept of having different opinions.

[Skye Yates 🩵 @YatesPolitics]

@jwblackwell @PolitlcsUK Not really. She just looks like a ridiculous trouble-maker that cannot fathom having different views.

[Grok @grok]

@DuxVul @PolitlcsUK Lord Sainsbury of Turville (David Sainsbury) was Andy Burnham’s biggest donor in the last year, providing about £164,347 in cash and in-kind support mainly for his Labour leadership campaign and office costs, per the MPs’ Register of Interests.

@FUDdaily has blocked me because he’s an irrelevant subversive so if someone can forward this to his autistic self it would be appreciated. The least worst option he stupidly promotes here keeps the same machine in power that broke it in the first place. You correctly note the Tories achieved almost nothing in office and haven’t changed enough. Then you conclude they are still the only vehicle capable of forming a government. That is exactly how we got here prioritising institutional continuity and knowing the system over results on the one issue you yourself call absolute priority, immigration. The realism test cuts both ways. A party that spent 14 years talking tough then delivering record net migration, while embedding Net Zero and the ECHR framework deeper, does not suddenly become serious because Badenoch has better supporting acts and a local MP who answers letters. Competence without the will or the incentives to use it is just managed decline with better stationery. Reform and the more radical alternatives have organisational and personnel problems no argument. But the claim that their policies are pure fag packet while Wolfson style reports and Culture Commissions prove Tory seriousness is special pleading. The Navy idea can be debated on operational grounds the broader point stands that the existing establishment has repeatedly proven it will not deliver the scale of change required. Waiting for the same party that failed to suddenly become the solution because the alternatives are imperfect is how the right keeps losing the substance while congratulating itself on process. If the test is which party can actually form a stable government and prioritise immigration realism, the track record says the Tories still fail the second half. Preferring a familiar failure over an imperfect challenger is a choice. Just don’t dress it up as the only adult option left standing.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​You subversive fool.

[Skye Yates 🩵 @YatesPolitics]

@OdinTruth @FUDdaily @FUDdaily Oh dear, Pete. This is less a political argument than a contribution to the emerging academic field of Westminsterological Copium.

[Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage]

This is an admission of danger.

Our politicians have failed us all.

[Sarah Pochin MP @SarahForRuncorn]

By publishing this leaflet, the Home Office has acknowledged the increased risk of rape and sexual assault posed to British women by illegal immigrants.

These are young, sexually active men with medieval attitudes towards women. The answer is not to teach them that rape is unacceptable in Britain. It is to detain and deport every illegal entrant. No exceptions.

Only Reform will take a zero-tolerance approach to illegal immigration and put the safety of British women first.

[Skye Yates 🩵 @YatesPolitics]

Okay Andy, remind me where MHCLG gets its money from?

Oh right… TAXPAYERS.

In Greater Manchester, 1,541 people were recorded sleeping rough in 2025 — UP 16%. After years of Burnham, the problem is getting WORSE.

Have you ever heard of DEMAND AND SUPPLY? Our population keeps growing while housing supply struggles to keep up.

Meanwhile, 2,180 veteran households were at risk of or experiencing homelessness in 2024–25. People who served this country are ending up without a home, while the government continues increasing spending and immigration continues adding pressure to an already strained housing market.

Rough sleeping isn't solved simply by throwing money at a bed. Long-term rough sleepers are now the largest group, with addiction, mental health problems and other complex needs often requiring far more than accommodation.

So where is the long-term solution, Andy? We're about to learn what throwing money around to solve every complex issue does all over again.

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

Burnham says new accommodation will be rolled out across England this winter, alongside more than 1,000 "settled homes" over the next three years, which No 10 claims is "fully funded" within MHCLG budgets

He will also hold the first ever national summit on rough sleeping this autumn to ask what society leaders can do to fully end rough sleeping

Burnham: "No-one should have to bed down in a doorway or outside a station. But we’ve seen it for so long that it feels like Westminster has started to accept it.

"I won’t accept it. That’s why my first instruction as Prime Minister was to end rough sleeping. And it’s why today we’re getting started with a national drive to get everyone in for Christmas.

"We did it in the pandemic. We can do it again. But it needs all of us. Government will put the money in. But I’m asking leaders in communities and sectors across society to play their part locally too.

"Let’s get people out the cold and let’s bring back hope"

@OAlexander2019 @TiceRichard @SarahForRuncorn @AndrewRosindell @danny__kruger @christopherhope @SophiePrestonHa It was an incredible evening! 🩵

[Ozzy Alexander 🇬🇧 @OAlexander2019]

Amazing day canvassing starting with the dawn raid at 5am, and an unforgettable night celebrating Nigels emphatic win at #FarageFest, the most worthwhile hangover ill ever have. The people of Clacton have sent a clear message to the establishment 🩵#ReformUK @RobertJenrick

[Skye Yates 🩵 @YatesPolitics]

@UKLabour @ZackPolanski @reformexposed

If you support lowering the voting age to 16, then surely the same argument should apply to other adult responsibilities—such as being able to drink at 16?

You seem quite offended by that comparison, but voting is arguably one of the most important decisions a person can make. If 16-year-olds are considered mature enough to make that decision, why shouldn’t we question where the line is drawn?

Then I wouldn't have to drink a non-alcoholic drink! 🍺🩵

[Skye Yates 🩵 @YatesPolitics]

@slater457 @reformexposed @SarahForRuncorn @AndrewRosindell @Nigel_Farage Definitely, thank you! It has caused me to gain more followers though, so a win is a win. 😆
