I’ve yet to find anyone who thinks politicians should decide how pensions are invested.

This is #stjames on a daily basis in Tunbridge Wells. @TWlibdems will tell you they are doing a great job, it's lies and people are too used to voting liberal that they don't know it can be better. I urge you, vote anyone but the same old tired lib dems.

🗼WELL I NEVER🗼

Would you believe that Ray and June, who won the Reform UK energy bills prize, go back all the way to the Brexit Party with Farage?

Here they are with Farage, Widdecombe and Bull [a truly awful supernatural detective thriller].

What a coincidence [increasingly unlikely]

h/t, and thanks to @linfitlass for pointing this out to me.

These images are from a Brexit Party rally in Fylde on the 4th May 2019. [credit Getty Images I believe, but Google for me].

Tunbridge Wells residents got a letter from the HoC . The link is to Mike Martin's pers website. Response gives the LibDems your data. The HoC say, as it is a "local" issue is OK. Taxpayers money used to mine your data. "Issues" were used accross the Borough. Outrageous.

[Nicholas Lissack @NicholasLissack]

Mike Martin, the Lib Dem MP for Tunbridge Wells, is openly urging US troops stationed in Britain to commit mutiny.

This is utterly deranged and completely unacceptable.

He should be expelled from Parliament immediately.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

The absolute state of the LibDem MP for Tunbridge Wells, Mike Martin in parliament today. 🤢

Delighted to announce I have reached an agreement with the National Army Museum which will mean that my collection of Victoria Crosses and George Crosses - the largest in the world - will go on display there @NAM_London @VC_and_GC_Assoc

Has HMS Dragon been transferred to the junior service or has a sub-editor at @thetimes blundered...

@DiariesEmpire @mcribbHistory Yes, the "Experimental Corps of Riflemen" were formed in 1800 and became the 95th in January 1803.

🚨 NOW TRENDING 🚨
A clip of Rob Jenrick completely unravelling when asked why he voted to scrap the two-child benefit cap.

Was he confused because Reform can’t decide what its policy is?
Or was he just… lost?

The stuttering, the waffle, the panic — honestly, what happened to his sharpness after defecting?
Principles out. Confusion in. 🎪

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Yesterday, @Nigel_Farage tried to claim that Reform "never once" promised to cut council tax.

Well, they did. And we kept the receipts.

[William Rutherford @hunthillwill]

Andy Burnham came 4th in the 2010 Labour leadership election, but today has better odds to replace Starmer than any of the 403 Labour MPs...

[James Cleverly🇬🇧 @JamesCleverly]

I was going to post about Robert Jenrick, but Nigel Farage beat me to it.

[William Rutherford @hunthillwill]

@OliverCooper Turns out he said the opposite of what he had written in the transcript that was released to the press. Really making a hash of the day...
