Before Nigel Farage and Reform UK tell you he is now Prime Minister, note there are 650 MPs in Parliament and 20,000 councillors in the UK.
Today’s results will likely end with Reform UK having 2500-3000/20,000 councillors and still just 8/650 MPs.
GBNews, the Express, Spectator and Mail will tell you he’s about to be handed the keys to No.10. But it’s local elections, they will all be disappointed.
Suella Braverman’s parents emigrated (those horrible economic migrants not from a war zone she hates).
She went to Cambridge for free and didn’t collect £27k debt like everyone else. Scrounger.
She used the Erasmus scheme to study in France. Which she has blocked.
Horrible.
Women: "We don't need men"
Military - 95% men
Firefighters - 97% men
Coal Miners - 95% men
Truck drivers - 90% men
Construction - 92% men
Oil rig workers - 96% men
Surgeons - 82% men
Engineers - 89% men
The world goes around because of men.
Thank you for pointing out sexism:
Teachers - 76% women
Nurses 88% women
Social workers - 83% women
Elder care 80%+ women
Child care 94% women
Food prep - 56% women
Admin/clerical - 72% women
Medical & health services managers - majority women
The entire unpaid labor economy that keeps society functioning - overwhelmingly women.
Since we're listing statistics, let's finish the set properly...
Prison population: Men - 96%
Sex offenders in prison: Men - 98.5%
Prosecutions for sexual offences: Men 98%
Domestic homicide perpetrators: Men – 90%
Overall violent crime: Men 85%+
So if we're going to argue that society runs because of men, we should also acknowledge the parts of society that fall apart because of them.
Wait, just not finished yet...
Childbirths - 0% men
Men exist because of women.
Military is needed because MEN start wars.
No one said Women don't need men.
They said we DON'T NEED misogyny.
There's a difference.
They show that women:
Were kept out of unions
Were banned from combat
Were barred from engineering schools
Were fired when pregnant
Were excluded from whole industries by law
You don't get points for dominating spaces you locked women out of.
The Green Party's Caroline Lucas humiliates Reform UK's Zia Yusuf on #Newsnight
"Your position is utterly incoherent"
"You have provided no evidence that it's the Equalities Act that discriminates against white working class boys"
"And when it comes to the wider issue of taking your word on anything you've said, it seems to be a muddled message"
"When you said something about Robert Jenrick a few years ago, we are not to take it seriously, whereas now we are to take you seriously"
"We've got Reform UK's Suella Braverman ripping up the Equalities Act"
"We've got Richard Tice suggesting people will end up with far more expensive energy bills because he wants to go drilling in the north sea rather than using renewable energy"
"Reform UK pretends to be an insurgent party, an anti establishment anti elite party, yet it's stuffed full of old Tory retreads"
"It just doesn't add up"
"People looking at this press conference this afternoon are going to feel that Reform UK doesn't know what its doing"
"The interesting thing of course was Nigel Farage was trying to present the other spokespeople as a way of saying that it's no longer just about me, its' about all of us"
"All of you were asked by the press 25 questions, and Nigel Farage answered all of them"
So there we have it. Reform UK want to repeal the Equality Act.
This is the law that:
Stops your boss sacking you for being pregnant.
Protects disabled workers who need adjustments to do their job.
Backs up equal pay for women.
Stops people from being harassed at work because they’re LGBT+.
Makes it illegal to refuse someone a job or a service because of their race or religion.
And THIS is what they’ve decided is the problem in Britain?
Not the cost of living.
Not NHS waits.
Not wages. (They said they’d actually them CUT for young people)
But YOUR rights.
THEIR culture wars would TEAR UP protections that millions of hardworking Brits rely on every day.
NO THANKS ❌
if u think Britain’s seventh richest man who has denounced immigrants as a ‘drain’ on the UK economy but who *emigrated to Monaco to avoid paying £4 billion tax in the UK* is your
*checks notes*
“hero”
then I think u need to have a closer look at ur principles and try again
"homosexuality is against our religion" no one gives a fuck about your religion, they are human beings before anything else, why should someone deserve to die on the basis on their sexuality but you let rapist and pedophiles who are causing actual harm roam free?
