.@JasonFarrellSky reports as the organiser of the weekend's anti-migrant protests in Portsmouth interrupted a Sky News interview to set out his plan and defend the wearing of masks by demonstrators

[GB News @GBNEWS]

‘The invasion of Britain has reached new levels.’

@PatrickChristys reveals ‘the more recent tactic for illegals to invade Britain further down the French coast.’

@LeeAndersonMP_ Read the comments @LeeAndersonMP_ then go have a look at @RupertLowe10. You're finished mate. Is that plane English enough for you?

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Following the illegal immigration protests, Farage has just announced in the Telegraph the Reform policy of banning those balaclavas and other face coverings - he calls the coverings a ‘menace’.

A remarkably tone-deaf reaction to such effective peaceful protests.

He says there will be those that ‘will inevitably bleat about civil liberties and personal freedom’.

Yes. Yes, there will be.

Because what will happen to a young working class lad who goes on one of these peaceful protests? He will get dragged out across social media, the mob will hound his place of work, he will have his life ruined. That’s not the worst case scenario, either.

That is a knock on the door at 3am, and then prison. Unfairly locked up, for months and months.

Farage has all the wealth anyone can want. He can protect himself when expressing his opinion. I can do the same. I know that.

A young plumber? Bricklayer? Factory worker? They can’t. They have a wage packet they cannot afford to lose.

It's their communities that have been bastardised, their streets colonised, their town overrun.

I'll be honest. I don't witness the consequences in the same way as working class communities do. Neither does Farage. THAT is why these men are so pissed off. Rightly so. THEY are the ones who have to live with the decisions. Not us. Not the MPs. Them. Their families, and their communities.

For them, anonymity may be the difference between exercising their democratic rights and staying at home through fear of losing their job.

I don’t like face coverings. I hate seeing them. But I hate the invasion FAR more, and if new lawful methods manage to make progress where politicians have failed, then that is a price worth paying.

We are living in a very different Britain now. That's just a fact.

A peaceful protester should not be forced to surrender his anonymity merely because politicians dislike their lawful methods and it makes them feel a bit uncomfortable.

Get over it, to be honest.

Civil liberties and personal freedoms matter - they matter most when defending people without Farage’s money, platform or protection.

Reform’s reaction to these protests has been arrogant and offensive. Farage labelled them ‘disgusting’, Tice said they were ‘disgraceful’ and Jenrick said the police need to be ‘as robust as possible’ against the protestors - if Reform were in power, the police would have been all over these men.

That is EXACTLY why they covered their faces.

Their concerns perfectly outlined by the Reform leadership.

Farage says the coverings at the protests are ‘not the British way’. We tried that, and it didn’t work. Until an election, it won’t work. The protests worked. They did not stop the boats, but they worked. Galvanising a nation against the invasion that we all want to end.

Face coverings are worn on every city street, every day. Yet it takes an illegal migrant protest for Farage to make a huge deal about the ban being Reform policy.

These working class men and women have every right to lawfully make their voices heard, and Restore Britain stands with them.

The right to peaceful protest cannot become a privilege reserved for people wealthy enough to survive being publicly identified.

I will defend that right, and Restore Britain will defend that right.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

The people of Portsmouth are not going to take being designated the new dumping ground for illegal migrants.

When I was Southampton chairman, I was always extremely relieved to leave their stadium in one piece.

Those lads, and girls, take absolutely zero bullshit, and if the Government thinks they can use their city to land these illegals, they are very much mistaken.

Expect resistance. Peaceful, firm resistance.

Great city, great people - even if they support the wrong club.

Restore Britain will support them however we can, and I’m delighted to see our membership booming across the city.

@TiceRichard You two faced fool.

[Queen Natalie 👑 @TheNorfolkLion]

Respect to @dannytommo for confronting @Ziayusufuk during a live Sky News broadcast and calling out Nigel’s Farages comments and his constant negativity towards ordinary patriots like you and me.

[Shaun @ShaunInBrum]

Another day, another round of reckless quads on the streets of #Birmingham this time almost knocking someone down.

@WMPolice is it worth even reporting?

[Paul Smith @Smithballs2]

@Nigel_Farage Teeth like a burnt out fuse box. 🤢 can't you spend some of that grifting millions on a trip to Turkey?? 😁

[Paul Smith @Smithballs2]

@reformparty_uk I have this American uncle who wants to know how many he can get for a million £££ 😜

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Nigel Farage and other senior members of Reform UK have been filmed by undercover reporters celebrating secret new foreign donations.

Channel 4 News and @Verbatim_Media, a group of investigative journalists, can today reveal a plot to break the law on party funding at the highest levels of Reform UK.

You can watch the full investigation here: https://t.co/f1g358fN2Y

Channel 4 News approached Reform UK, Mr Farage, Mr Jukes and Mr Orr for comment on the findings of this investigation. They did not comment but we understand they deny the allegations in full.

[Paul Smith @Smithballs2]

@TiceRichard American business?? Corrupt business?? sure any legitimate business people are going to crap themselves when they watch @Channel4News

[Paul Smith @Smithballs2]

@Nigel_Farage Have you lost the narrative @Nigel_Farage ? The end is nigh. Death by a thousand cuts

[Paul Smith @Smithballs2]

@BhamCityCouncil But you can't sort the bin strikes out can you? Where's your priorities???

[Dr Helen Ingram @drhingram]

I walked through Birmingham City Centre today and barely recognised it from the place I grew up in. It’s like a third world town. Closed shops, beggars, mad people. Surprised they’re not driving cows up the main road. The decline is real. I won’t be doing that again for a while.

Loving this little nod to the Metro at @nortons_digbeth, really cool idea!

@Nigel_Farage Do you notice how the tone of the replies to your posts have changed 🤔. Do you think something feels different? Are you in that much of a bubble @Nigel_Farage? Yesterday's chip papers.

[Paul Smith @Smithballs2]

@Feltip1982 @LiveTheModaLife Be covered in litter and graffiti in no time 😒

[Brum X @x_brum]

Mmmmm 3 days too late, the Championships opened on Monday. The whole city should have been engaged from last weekend before it opened. This feels like a rush job , to make if feel like they have done something. Not impressed at all 🤨🤨🤨
