Before Brexit, there were about 300K net migrants a year, mostly from the EU.
After Brexit, immigration shot up to 900K, and EU migration was negative.
It’s amazing how stupid Brexit was from every possible perspective.
Populism is a low IQ movement.
In Sunderland, Reform stood David Barker.
Who beat his girlfriend “black and blue”.
He also neglected and burnt his child with cigarettes. He was given a suspended sentence.
It comes up when you Google him.
He won in the council election.
He’s now a Reform Councillor.
@premnsikka@MarinaPurkiss People in general seem to accept that Brexit is a failure. But they can’t seem to connect that the same people who conned them into voting for Brexit are now conning them again with Reform
At what point do we stop pretending our newspapers are ‘news’ and start calling them what they are…
Promotional pamphlets for the billionaires who own them and the agendas they’re selling.
His closest aide sentenced to 10.5 years for spying for the Russians. Failing to disclose £5m donation and how he bought a house in Clacton. A decade of school antisemitism and racism. Cavorting with Neo Nazis and planning mass deportations. What is the media love about Farage?
The UK govt is Palantir’s 2nd biggest customer.
Why? Or, more to the point, how?
Our latest @thenerve_news investigation reveals a web of cronyism into the highest levels of govt.
But Palantir also has a spin machine that uses political journalists to launder its PR

NEW: Palantir’s revolving door.
A new investigation by @thenerve_news has found Palantir has recruited more than 30 senior officials from UK govt, a strategy transparency experts say poses an ‘acute risk’ of corruption.

@reformparty_uk In 2018 - around 587 people came over the channel on small boats.
1st January 2020 - Brexit begins.
2022 - 45,000 people came over the channel on small boats.
Brexit caused this issue.
Oh, and incidentally the Immigration Minister in 2022 ?? Robert Jenrick !!🤦♂️

Reform isn't just a party - it's a business empire with unprecedented financial links to crypto and media.
To many, this is fine: a new party with a new power base.
To others, it's illiberal democracy in the making.
At very least, we need the debate:-

It's OK everyone, Richard Tice underpaying £91,000 in tax was just a "minor administrative error", whereas Angela Rayner underpaying £40,000 stamp duty was a resigning matter.

<-> Ray and June Dibble are photographed at a Brexit Party rally in 2019 with Nigel Farage, Anne Widdecombe and David Bull.
<-> Ray and June nominate local councillor, Lee Moffitt as branch chair for Reform UK, Wigan.
<-> Ray and June win Nigel Farage's energy bills competition.
<-> Additional info — Farage and Jenrick turn up at Ray and June's house with a cheque for a VERY SPECIFIC amount of £1,758.
It's almost as though the entire thing was orchestrated from the beginning.
Huge H/T to @linfitlass and @reformexposed for two crucial pieces of the puzzle.

Genocidal Intent:

Exhibit A:
@tj96111030@KieranMaguire Netanyahu has claimed dozens of times since 1992 that Iran is “weeks away from creating a nuclear weapon”. They never have. And no US President has been stupid enough to fall for this very obvious lie until Trump.
@DeborahMeaden Small boat crossings pre-Brexit deal (the deal Farage agreed with): in 2018 539 people attempted to cross the English Channel (many were returned to France).
Post Brexit deal (which started 1st January 2020): in 2022 45,000 people attempted to cross the English Channel.
