EXCL - Robert Kenyon's suspended X account REVEALED...

The Reform candidate posted about Asian men 'assaulting white people en masse' and 'an invasion of foreign criminals'.

Kenyon also said the far right doesn't exist and demanded King Charles open up his palaces to house asylum seekers, after the monarch called for unity during the Southport riots.

Reform has refused to investigate their candidate and said they are proud to have him representing the party.

NEW: Trump appears to tell Iranians to 'open the f*ckin' strait, you crazy bastards' - signing off 'Praise be to Allah'.

The British government learnt of the data leak in August 2023.

24k Afghans secretly granted asylum, costing British taxpayers up to £7 billion.

The government covered it up.

Who was in government?

Home Secretary: Suella Braverman

Immigration Minister: Robert Jenrick

Our team recently suffered a tragic loss. It has been a stark reminder of how important it is to check in on our friends, colleagues, & loved ones. Rob’s family have set up a fundraiser for @MovemberUK to support men’s mental health, which I’m sharing here for anyone who wishes to help.

A wee curiosity I've spotted – as of the party's first conference last weekend, Zarah Sultana's page on the parliament site has updated to have her down as a Your Party MP.

She's currently the only one. Corbyn, Adam and Khan are still down as independents

The Conservatives conference is my fourth this year, after Reform, Lib Dems and Labour. I've got to say, this one is feeling uniquely empty

On a Sunday as well, when you'd think more people would be off work and able to come along...

[Craig Munro @crunro]

@9andrewmcdonald Very well deserved man!!

[Craig Munro @crunro]

Sneak peek at the crowd for Starmer's speech – there will be flag-waving, be prepared
