Good morning to the enlightened, please electrically share this through the feeds and letterboxes of all the simpletons that you know. They can't win. #Farage #FarageRiots

[Led By Donkeys @ByDonkeys]

Daily Mail say today we need Farage and Reform to save the country. A reminder of the role the Mail played in getting us into this mess.

@Battle_for_Eire @ClonesCyclone @adamsuperkid He looks the real deal to me. He seems to have all the attributes needed to be a great.

Shot goes over the bar. Steven Gerrard: “I don’t think he needs to go that high with it”.

@DavidHHeadley Can people see it, though? I think he’s calculated that half of the electorate don’t actually think things through and just cling to sound bites that are factually untrue.

@PED7 They don’t even do a job

@NilSatisNews So far, we’re an embarrassment

@GooalMouth She kept farting and blaming it on the dog. I’d had enough.

@TheRealLawtie I can understand using a euphemism when talking about death to a child. Apart from that, it should be “died”.

[Tramp @Tramp_]

Why do most people say “passed” or “passed on” when they mean “died”? It’s bloody annoying. Stop it. It’s even worse than the “can I get <item>?”

@GiuliaBould @Nedproper You do a great job

@ChrisMasonBBC doing his best to try to trip up @AndyBurnhamGM over his position on trans rights. He finished his piece with a statement about scrutiny: maybe it’s me but I have yet to see his scrutiny of Farage and his tax affairs.

[🇬🇧King 🇬🇧 @King0243_PJC]

This should destroy Nigel Farage’s entire political argument.

Net migration has collapsed from 944,000 to around 204,000, yet voters still think it’s rising because Reform and Farage have spent years feeding Britain hysteria instead of facts.

Asylum seekers are only about 9% of immigration, not the “invasion” constantly screamed about.

The NHS was broken by underfunding.
Housing was broken by austerity.
Wages were crushed by corporate greed.

Migrants were the distraction. Not the cause.

@TedUrchin I look forward to @ChrisMasonBBC and @bbclaurak reporting this.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Net migration has fallen 82%.

I promised to restore control to our borders. My government is delivering.

I know there’s more to do, we’re introducing a skills-based migration system that rewards contribution and ends our reliance on cheap overseas workers.

[Tramp @Tramp_]

@MrMutantes Because most people don’t get the message.

@HarryMaguire93 Could “have” played, Harry
