It is a relief to see people waking up to the corrupt Farage reality.
They're realising he's only here for himself, to make money, to grift. Recognising he doesn't have policies just hatred and division.
Frankly he has no place in our political discourse, our social fabric.
What seems to have happened is that Zack Polanski accepted a collab request – effectively, a tag – of a batch of 20 photos. I've been open about my opinions of his social media use (too much time online, too quick to share, not enough due diligence) but that's not a reason to jail someone. Be serious!
In response to No 10's refusal to sack Tapp, a Government source has pointed to the Ministerial Code which says:
"The principle of collective responsibility requires that ministers should be able to express their views frankly in the expectation that they can argue freely in private while maintaining a united front when decisions have been reached"
Update: The Times has edited its article to reflect that No 10, not Shabana Mahmood, decides on Tapp’s fate, though she has asked Keir Starmer to sack him
No 10 has not yet commented
Tapp has been very loyal to Starmer, while Mahmood had called for Starmer to step down
A source says he's expected to be sacked for breaching the Ministerial Code
"He has taken possible ideas that the Home Secretary and her team were working on, and briefed them as his own to try to win a job in the new administration"

@ElectionMapsUK@Moreincommon_ Another huge fall in support for corrupt Reform UK as Farage’s brazenly uses the tragic death of a young man to further his political career and fill his pockets at the same time.

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer is considering cutting the planned £18bn increase in defence spending to £15bn over fears the Iran war makes it unaffordable

Jess Phillips resigned after waiting a year for action despite tech being available to stop image based abuse. Starmer is too afraid to take on tech bros.
Social media where young boys are radicalised into extreme misogyny.
They need to act but won’t because, billionaires.
Darren Jones visibly upset after listening to the extraordinarily brave testimony of the teenage girl raped by two boys who were spared jail. She told @bbclaurak: "What was the point in putting me through that?" It's heartbreaking. The Attorney General is reviewing the case
