NEW: A convicted money launderer has operated at the highest level of UK politics for a decade. Why? Because Farage has enjoyed almost total impunity from the UK press.

In my new piece for @thenerve_news, I expose the decade of denial that’s enabled him to act with impunity

@reformparty_uk If Britain is broken it's partially because of people that don't pay their fair share, which Mr Ghandehari has openly admitted doing, proudly even.

How does one leave a photoshoot with an eco bus?

In a multi véhicule convoy past an indifferent public. Sharpish !

We in the United Kingdom demand a National Enquiry into:

Faking a competition giveaway by treating the street of long term Farage fans, Ray and June, to a shed load of cash … during an election period.

Why Reform UK has never declared who donated to the party using cryptocurrency.

What George Cotterell REALLY does for Reform UK.

DOGE.

Zia Yusuf.

Reform UK's links to the US far-right, specifically, Steve Bannon, Peter Thiel and the Heartland Institute.

The clear and obvious links that Richard Tice has with the oil and gas lobby.

Farage's non-house purchase in Clacton.

Why Reform UK thinks that they can cut visitor visas from countries that don't even need them — such as Monserrat.

Farage Gin.

Is Reform's official policy in Wales and Scotland to avoid all hustings?

Reform UK's policy of banning journalists that they fear and might challenge them.

Why Malcolm Offord is still in post after making a seriously homophobic and racist joke.

Has accepted millions of pounds from dubious donors over the last few years. Especially ones with ties to Iran, Montenegro, Thailand and Hong Kong.

Reform UK's copy/paste of the Nazi campaign playbook.

Members and MPs constantly found lacking in their tax affairs.

Scores of candidates removed for being outright racists — with many more to follow, I'm sure.

------------------------------

OK, you get the gist, and I only had to look back over the last three months for these edited highlights. Imagine if I spent an entire day doing this.

You see, this 'Boriswave' thing that came from the bowels of the far-right internet message boards — 4chan etc, is entirely manufactured to demonise immigrants.

Reform UK have adopted it as it sounds like a different policy, but in reality, it's the same old racist shit that has followed Farage since UKIP. Just a rebrand.

Try again.

🔺EXCLUSIVE: King Charles and his eldest son make millions from feudal levies on schools, hospitals, homeowners and the very charities they represent, a joint investigation by The Sunday Times and @C4Dispatches reveals today https://t.co/Vno5Q348mG

Left: Dr Dan Poulter, "The party I was elected into valued public services"

Right: UNISON, "Not a single part of our public services have been immune from Conservative cuts"

Poulter was elected in 2010, since then the Conservative party have decimated public services. For him to suggest the Conservative party values public services when they've spent the past 14 years decimating them? Really?

Also, in 2012, Poulter resigned from the British Medical Association after doctors voted to strike. Since then the Conservative party have decimated the NHS and he has remained a Conservative MP throughout.

Glad Poulter eventually found a conscience, but he is as much to blame as any other Conservative MP who has supported the Conservative government since 2010, destroying public services and decimating our NHS.

[Somerset Guardians @RealSomerset]

50 years ago today, the cruellest of April Fools was played on Somerset, and our county was apparently decapitated. NOT SO! Our boundaries have NEVER really altered. So a reminder, that if you were born in this area, even post-1974, you are from SOMERSET 🍏

[Ian Boulton @IanBoulton]

@sgloscouncil is the lowest funded education authority in the country & a member of the @f40campaign.
I wrote to @LukeHall and @JackLopresti asking them to support #SouthGlos residents at this debate.
Sadly they did not reply to me or speak at this debate.
Thanks those who did.

[Claire Hazelgrove MP @CHazelgroveMP]

I see the current Conservative MP for Filton and Bradley Stoke is lurking as part of Liz Truss’ entourage in DC…

All while the cost of living, made all the worse by her inept tanking of the economy, continues to harm local residents.

Why is he still on her side and not theirs?

It’s odd that Johnson is having so many problems with his mobile phone given how many “technology lessons” he received from Jennifer Arcuri (courtesy of £126,000 from the public purse.)

[Phil Kingston @phil_kingston]

@alexlovelltv @BBCBristol We spent £m building the M32 bus lane but all buses that used that route from North East Bristol have been cancelled. It discourages bus travel and journeys to Bristol when forced on alternatives that double the journey time.

@bbctms Made a fortune whilst destroying the fabric of the English sporting summer. Goodbye and good riddance.
