Proud of England and its history. British isn't a colour or religion, but a set of values actions and beliefs. Proud father, proud Gooner, proud Reformer! 🇬🇧

BBC and Sky showed theirs.

45 minutes in, GB News had more viewers than the BBC and Sky put together.
The online views were even more divergent.
There’s a lesson there @BBCNews@SkyNews
@WelBeast I think our owners have always been better than the glazers too. But if i'd say anyone has saved us from being united, its WENGER. He laid the foundation that arteta followed
I don’t care that Zia Yusuf is Muslim.
I don’t care that he has brown skin.
I don’t care where his parents or grandparents came from.
None of that matters.
What matters is what he stands for.
That believes passionately in Britain and her people.
I care about whether someone respects our values our traditions, believes in our culture and wants to see this country succeed.
I care that he believes a British government should put British people first.
I’m not interested in judging people by the colour of their skin or the religion they follow.
I’m interested in what they contribute, what they stand for and whether their actions match their words.
Patriotism isn’t determined by your skin colour or your religion.
It’s about the country you stand up for and Zia is one hell of an asset 🩵
There is a growing concern about the level and nature of media scrutiny directed towards Reform UK, its elected representatives and its councillors.
Nigel Farage has previously challenged what he considers to be the disproportionate treatment of Reform, describing the level of scrutiny as:
“Totally and utterly outrageous.”
That concern deserves proper consideration.
Reform UK does not expect to be exempt from scrutiny. Quite the opposite: every political party, elected representative and public authority should be held accountable. That is fundamental to democracy.
However, the public is entitled to ask whether the same standards, intensity and determination are being applied consistently across all political parties.
In 2025, Reform’s Zia Yusuf also raised concerns about the BBC’s reporting of disciplinary action involving Reform councillors, arguing that negative stories about Reform were receiving greater attention than comparable stories involving Labour and Conservative councillors.
There is also an important distinction between legitimate investigative journalism and what politicians perceive as disproportionate or selective scrutiny.
The media has every right to investigate Reform, question its policies and challenge its representatives. But it must be equally prepared to investigate Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats and every other party with the same determination.
The question is not whether Reform UK should face scrutiny. It absolutely should. The question is whether everyone else is being scrutinised to the same standard.
A free press is essential to democracy, but impartiality, consistency and fairness are equally important.
The public deserves journalism that holds everyone accountable, not a system in which the intensity of scrutiny appears to depend on which political party is involved
I have been a conservative voter all my adult life but as I’ve grown older I’ve realised that the 2 party system has constantly lied and deceived the people and sold out the country. That’s why I’m such a Reform supporter because we need to change the 2 party system for good!
I have no idea if Russell Brand ever raped anybody. I have no idea if Russell Brand is a true Christ follower now. I do know that he has a horrifically debauched past, that Christ can redeem even the most vile of sinners, and that forgiveness on the cross doesn’t absolve you of earthly consequences.
But I am extremely concerned about throwing a man in prison for a decade over a rape allegation that he denies, and you can’t prove. That should terrify anyone.
The timing of everything surrounding Russell Brand raises some very serious questions.
A man who has become increasingly vocal against the establishment, the political class and the woke left suddenly finds himself at the centre of a criminal case and convicted.
There was no DNA evidence and no CCTV footage. The case relied heavily on witness testimony. That does not automatically make a conviction wrong, but it certainly doesn’t mean that questions about the evidence and the circumstances should be off limits.
I also find it important to distinguish between what was actually alleged and what people are now suggesting happened.
We should be able to question the evidence, examine inconsistencies and scrutinise testimony without being accused of supporting sexual abuse.
Nobody should be above the law. But equally, nobody should be beyond scrutiny.
My concern is that we are increasingly living in a society where challenging the establishment comes at a price.
And I believe we should be able to have that conversation without fear of being shouted down.
