Polls have closed. I would like to take this moment to thank all Reform members who have supported our campaign. As I said, we are not a political party. We are a movement and a family.

I salute you 🫡

As from January 2nd Electric vehicles will have to pay the London congestion charge, and we thought it was all bout making the air cleaner. Now we find out it’s all about getting more money from the motorist. What a surprise !!!

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

You are not defeated, Fiona…and you are not alone. You are one of the bravest women I’ve ever met and I’m saying this publicly because everyone should know.

You stood tall in the face of vitriolic abuse and nasty smears. Without women like you waiving your anonymity and speaking the truth:
🔵We would never have uncovered the sheer scale of what had happened.
🔵We would never have seen the inadequacy of previous inquiries which didn’t dig deep enough.
🔵We would never have heard HOW badly state institutions from councils, police to social services failed you.

I know you are disappointed not to have a judge leading the inquiry. And I know appointing a lead from the social services sphere in Bradford makes this feel worse.

BUT
You must not feel despondent. You have come so far and achieved so much.

Without you, no one would have known exactly how the safeguarding minister was faffing about.

A year ago, those of us asking for an inquiry were dismissed as jumping on a far-right bandwagon. Now we’ve got a national inquiry.

It wasn’t going to be time-limited, now it is. Yes three years is longer than two, but not much longer.

The govt did not want to look at religious, ethnic and cultural factors -these are now in the terms of reference.

These wins would NOT have happened without your courage and remarkable feistiness.

With complex issues, covering so many people, over a long period of time across the entire country it is unlikely anyone gets everything they want.
But you must look back and see how far you’ve come.

There is still much that must be done…and it should probably start with meeting Anne Longfield. Parliament and MPs from all parties can help you with that.

Keep an open mind. The battle is not over and we are with you.

SNP justice secretary misleads parliament, the public and grooming gang victims.

Yet John Swinney thinks this is okay. It's not.

These worthless ratfucks will NEVER voluntarily step away from a single spoonful of gravy.

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

And fair play to you for your forensic dissection of the judgment. Not the first time you have gone where others fear to tread to question the establishment. No doubt why you were so maligned by Sturgeon, her groupies & so on.

[Chris Musson @ChrisMusson]

Staggering stuff. Scotland's Justice Secretary blatantly misrepresented the words of child grooming gangs expert Prof Alexis Jay in order to argue AGAINST a Scottish grooming gangs inquiry. First Minister now gaslighting us to make out his minister didn't mean what she meant

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I got labelled 'Billie no-mates' in the Parliament chamber this evening by a Labour MP, after I raised a number of brutal illegal migrant rapes against young British women.

I don't give a shit.

I want to put the British people first. I want the illegals deported.

All of them.

[Dr Pam Gosal MBE @DrPamGosal]

Sitting in the Chamber during today's #FMQs and @RussellFindlay1 is spot on.

The SNP Justice Secretary misrepresented the leading child abuse expert in order to block a grooming gangs enquiry.

Grooming gang victims were failed by the authorities and are being failed again by this SNP Government.

It’s shocking to see MSPs who are so legally illiterate or is this just more misogyny hiding in plain sight ? - Harvie calls for lifting of Holyrood toilet trans ban after Sandie Peggie ruling https://t.co/a43j9DoL5C

[Stephen Phillips 💻 @uk_sf_writer]

I don't think I've ever read a more accurate, damning critique of our entire talentless government than this from Katharine Birbalsingh (@Miss_Snuffy).

This cabinet is full of opinionated people who've never accomplished anything except get elected!

Victory for Scottish women and Conservative common-sense.

Defeat for SNP-Sturgeon-Swinney trans extremism (which still infects many state agencies).

About time…

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

If you can work, you should work.

[Annemarie Ward 💜 @Annemarieward]

The ferries rust in the dock, the sick wait in corridors, literacy sinks through the floor, and Sandie Peggie’s case rots in the in-tray. Moral courage abroad is cheap. Moral courage at home costs political skin  and that is a price our leaders never pay.

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

Anyone else noticing how obsessed Nicola Sturgeon seems with blackening Alex Salmond’s name? It’s pretty distasteful given he can’t defend himself. Could it be she’s attacking his legacy to distract from her own? I hope most people aren’t stupid enough to fall for this.

[James Esses @JamesEsses]

🚨The UK’s Education Secretary, @bphillipsonMP, has said that ‘non-binary’ teachers have a right to demand pupils refer to them as ‘Mx’.

This gives a green light to ideological indoctrination and pandering to delusion.

Extraordinarily dangerous.

Anyone who enters the country illegally should be deported automatically. No ifs, no buts.

That's exactly what our deportation plan would do.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

A job advertised by the DWP for a 'Shariah law administrator'.

I've formally questioned the DWP on what the hell they are playing at...

We live in Britain - we do NOT have, or want, Shariah law.

This is grim.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Trump is right.

Khan has done a terrible job, he has destroyed our capital city.

Awful man, awful London mayor.
