Good to see Ant Middlton campaigning for Rob Kenyon in Makerfield. Who better to help push the message that Reform is on the side of local businesses than someone who lives in Dubai and is banned as a company director for dodging £1m in tax?
🚨Luton/Bedford crash update
An RMT spokesperson said: “We are deeply concerned by reports of a train collision between Bedford and Luton and the serious injuries sustained by on-board train staff and passengers. The thoughts of the whole union are with those affected and we continue to monitor the situation.”
EXC: Private constituency-wide polling in Makerfield seen by The i Paper shows Andy Burnham on 35%, Restore Britain on 13% and Reform UK on 24% 🧵 https://t.co/uITJyPH5WW
Groups of masked men burning families out of their homes is nothing less than disgusting cowardice.
This has nothing to do with community.
This is outright thuggery.
The attack in North Belfast was heinous and wrong.
But there are dangerous attempts to exploit that to target and attack innocent people who are simply trying to live, work and raise their families here.
Racism, intimidation and violence are wrong wherever they occur.
There can be no excuse and no justification for these attacks tonight.
No one wants to see this on our streets and I again appeal for calm.
I am horrified that a car has been deliberately set alight outside the home of the family of Salma Yaqoob, a wonderful prominent anti-racist and peace campaigner in Birmingham.
I hope the police take this shocking incident seriously. Sending my solidarity to Salma & her family.
Reform UK’s complaint is a transparent attempt to distract from legitimate scrutiny of its candidate in Makerfield, following an investigation published by HOPE not hate last week, which revealed misogynistic and degrading comments he made about women. Reform may not like being scrutinised, but voters deserve to know who is asking for their support.
It’s a shame that Nigel Farage has not put as much effort into vetting his own candidates as he has done making spurious complaints to the charity commission.
Farage can complain all he want, but @hopenothate will not shy away from campaigning in Makerfield
Farage has no interest in halting this behaviour.
The far right are out to normalise the use of the fascist salute - like Musk tried to do.
This isn’t ’politics as usual’ - this isn’t a ‘joke’. This is legitimising the unacceptable & the hatred & violence that goes with it.
Makerfield by-election…
Let’s come together to #StopReform
Campaign launch, this Sunday 24 May.
Time to wipe the smirk off of Nigel Farage’s face.
Reform UK…
• A party that backs the rich
• Tax dodgers
• Pro-Trump
• Scapegoating, racist & divisive
Just look at Tommy's core team. This is Guramit Singh, he's been around since the early EDL days.
He was once sentenced to six-and-a-half years for his part in a violent attempted robbery, when he and two others pinned a shop assistant to the ground and made threats to slash his throat if he did not hand over cash.

In charge of Tommy Robinson's security team is Andy Saxon (real name Andrew Currien). He was once imprisoned for 18 months after a 59-year-old man was subjected to racist abuse and crushed to death by a car in Wolverhampton.
🚨 Right now, Tommy Robinson is claiming to speak for us.
It’s the ultimate distraction from the very real problems we face.
But we know the truth: migrants aren’t the problem, far-right billionaires are.
✊ Share this post to make it clear: they don't speak for us.
The initial indications are that the Unite the Kingdom demo is smaller than the one last September...
We need to see the ariel pics, but that's certainly the feeling from our teams on the ground
