Given Reform's Press Conference today about MP safety, worth revisiting this clip of sitting Reform MP Sarah Pochin, and Reform supporter Jeremy Kyle laughing on TV at the firebombing of the Prime Minister's house...
The Guardian has now been told by three sources that in March 2024 Nigel Farage told senior Reform insiders that if he were to resume leadership of the party, and run to be an MP, he would need to be compensated for the financial harm of giving up his City career to spend 20 years campaigning and standing for election again.
Insiders and donors were insistent that Farage needed to return and to take Reform into not only a 2024 general election but a 2029 one, too. He argued that would cost him £5m, the sources said.
No mention was made of security costs in the discussions about needing to replace lost earnings, sources said.
It’s clear watching Starmer’s final PMQs that the Labour Party has just made an absolutely catastrophic error, blinded by panic, afflicted by petty opportunist factionalism, and entirely disengaged from the national interest in a dangerous world.
What a huge, huge
blunder. 🤦🏻♂️
Was it an ‘honest error’ to give contracts worth hundreds of millions to Doug Barrowman:
• without competitive tender
• with a huge built in mark up
• whose company, formed 2 days before, had no experience in the market
• in return for unusable PPE
Funnelling taxpayers’ money to your friends, donors & other cronies is called ‘corruption’ everywhere outside Westminster.
Someone has to say it…
Reform and Restore, by giving parliamentary representation to the rhetoric of fringe far right groups like the BNP, has directly caused an increase in violence in Britain. It’s like starting a fire then crying that you’re at risk of getting burnt.
Far right thug Tommy Robinson was one of the highest profile Twitter accounts who pushed this video, falsely accusing this innocent brown British man of filming children in a park and now making him fear for his life.
Any comment @elonmusk? Are you ok with this?
Tommy Robinson shared a clip that went viral, falsely accusing an innocent brown man who was in the park with his children of filming other children.
Quroum Beg, a fourth-generation Scottish man, is now fearing for his life after the video went viral.
That coke head is going to get someone killed.
The same people upset that Labour haven't fixed all the Tory legacy problems in 23 month are now complaining Ann Widdecombes murder hasn't been solved in 4 days
Adults need to start acting like adults again 🙄
So Reform UK is funded by Russia, Restore bought and paid for by an American trillionaire, GB News owned by a hedge fund in Dubai and the Daily Mail registered in Bermuda. That's patriotism for you these days.
Meet Gemma Mattinson, one of the organisers of the "Pink Ladies." She claims she wants to protect women and girls.
In 2011, she and her then boyfriend, Ian Barclay, were jailed for child cruelty after being filmed forcing two children, both under the age of 8, to physically fight each other while they laughed.
A young girl was ordered to hit a boy with a broom and plastic sticks. When the boy tried to hide, he was dragged across the floor and slammed into a radiator.
They both pled guilty.
She was sentenced to 8 months in prison, and her ex received a 12-month sentence.
Now, she has rebranded herself and is targeting asylum seekers staying in hotels.
I’m in Paris for my final meeting of the Coalition of the Willing.
I’m proud to have worked with @EmmanuelMacron to bring 25 nations together, united in support of Ukraine and European security.
Today, we stand stronger than ever.
Our message remains clear: Ukraine's security is our security.
Remember how I said if scheme looks like money laundering & smells like money laundering, Brexit Party’s should prove it’s *not* money laundering? That was before I knew an *actual* money launderer involved. Meet George Cottrell. Convicted felon. And acting Brexit Party treasurer
