@theleaduk.bsky.social this article is very interesting with regards to #Reform & who makes its #Pothole policies. If this is true, their policies would involve hiring a donor for repairs. Insider trading www.opendemocracy.net/en/gb-pac-uk...

The Guardian view on Labour’s drift and Tory collapse: Reform fills a vacuum they created. The editorial ends with this: “Britain’s first-past-the-post system, designed to keep extremism at bay, may end up amplifying it” - Electoral reform is an urgent priority! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Well done County #Durham's Bishop Auckland, you voted in Lyndsey Fox as your Reform UK councillor. She was a Conservative Councillor for Spennymoor Town Council but was kicked out of her position last year for non attendance: spennymoor-tc.gov.uk/wp-content/u... You cannot make it up.

What effect are Trump’s tariffs having on our pensions? @northeastbylines.co.uk So right on #insiderTrading. Far too much of that in the UK too. #CrispinOdey disaster capitalist, funds Brexit party #Reform, Kwasi Kwarteng (Truss chancellor) worked for Odey. northeastbylines.co.uk/business/eco...

No-one can claim this time round that they did not know what they were voting for: Nigel Farage defends allowing US chlorinated chicken into UK as part of trade deal. Poll predicts rightwing Reform UK party could be on course to win in a general election www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“NHS cancer patients denied life-saving drugs due to Brexit costs. British cancer patients are being denied life-saving drugs and trials of revolutionary treatments while patients across Europe are benefiting from a golden age of pioneering research…” www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

"British cancer patients are being denied life-saving drugs... by the red tape and extra costs brought on by Brexit"

Michael Joyce is Reform UK’s candidate in Druridge Bay, Northumberland. Not ‘bants’, racism.

"Nigel Farage has made more money than any other MP from additional jobs in this parliament so far. The Reform UK leader has declared an average of about 24 hours’ work a week as a cameo creator, GB News presenter, media commentator, public speaker, Telegraph journalist, brand ambassador..."

Nigel Farage’s history of incitement and violent rhetoric yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/nig...

Farage plans to abandon nonsense net-zero targets. Huge environmental risk. Climate protection was deemed a human right (ECHR case 2024). Respect for ECHR principles underpins the #Brexit TCA. Loss of alignment would mean a no-deal scenario! #Reform news.sky.com/story/farage...

GB PAC (political action committee) aims to unite UK right ahead of elections. Its members created a pothole policy, gave it to #Reform. Direct influence of donors on politics. It channels funds to right wing parties. @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social #JCB #GBPAC www.opendemocracy.net/en/gb-pac-uk...

Shocking statements from #Refom candidates in #Doncaster hopenothate.org.uk/2025/04/17/r...

Trump's tariffs and trade demands threaten UK food standards, pensions, and public health - will Starmer hold the line?

Rachel Reeves is thinking about cutting a tax on US tech giants to appease #Trump and his band of billionaires. If anything we should be taxing them more - not less! Agree? Sign today: 38d.gs/techgiantsta...

#Reform won the byelection in #Tameside Greater Manchester this week. Slogans abound in their campaigns. Reform will fix it... How would a Reform government look in the food department? 👇 northeastbylines.co.uk/lifestyle/fo...

Excellent article by Mark Kieran: 'Britain undoubtedly faces serious challenges - from declining public services to infrastructure decay. But the evidence suggests #Farage's answer is political pantomime rather than substantive solutions'. uglypolitix.substack.com/p/farages-da...?

#Trump's tariffs have already had a negative impact on our economy, pension savings and job security. Worse is yet to come, eroding our food standards. The food we consume impacts our health and safety. Tell Starmer to stand up for food standards. 38d.gs/6v7r

“Trump administration preferred to communicate directly with individual EU capitals… Trump sees the EU as the only thing between him and subjugating individual countries to his will.” This quote from Politico tonight says it all. #StrongerTogether @europeanmovement.co.uk

Brexit cost me my job. Now Trump’s tariffs could take the next — and once again, it’s working people who pay the price

“Mike Galsworthy said: "The Brexit red lines are utterly obsolete. Everyone knows it and these data show, yet again, that the people of this country care much about the economy than self-flagellating with three self-imposed red lines following a referendum on a different question nine years ago."”
