Good to see Richard Tice back on TV. It's about time Laura Kuenssberg did her bit to normalise Reform policies by platforming a party with only 5 MPs almost every week.

This is why I posted my comment this morning. Look at this utterly disgraceful headline. The tatty reform scumbag liars, racist and homophobes came THIRD in this by election. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Can anyone recommend a EV charger for home use? We've had a Wallbox before and it was fine. Particularly interested in something that can integrate with home management system, battery, solar, in future Ta!

Since becoming an MP, Nigel Farage has managed to fit in nine trips to the US, has held down twelve jobs, which earned him nearly £1million, but has been too busy to hold any surgeries for people in Clacton who actually voted for him.

We’re waiting, JD.

"Old fashioned print media is in decline everywhere but in the mind of the nation’s political class. The result is that our leaders are getting a very warped sense of what the average voter thinks, reads and cares about."

While we’re on the topic of national security, it’s crucial to safeguard our media and democratic systems. 1. Make our elections fair, so the far right can’t get in on 30% of the vote, and reform donations 2. Regulate the media so they can’t be owned and manipulated by foreign billionaires

I wonder what happened in 2016? …another picture to save to your phone and share everywhere.

Media - ‘we are in no way exaggerating Farage and Reform’s popularity, we just keep platforming them endlessly because the public like them’. The polls -

#NeverVoteReform

Esther de Lange, "He has made sure that two of his children have German passports" When Nigel Farage objects to a UK-EU Youth Mobility Scheme, he wants his children to travel freely around the UK and EU, but he doesn't want your children to enjoy the same right

I'm hoping Starmer takes confidence from the EU development and sees that to go further with Europe and put forward an alternative and positive vision Vs Reform is the only tenable path for Labour. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Brexit hasn't been betrayed. The British people have not been betrayed. The betrayal was Brexit. Once that is the established narrative, we can all go forward together.

Regulatory divergence for the sake of “sovereignty” has proven expensive, bureaucratic, and deeply unattractive to investors. It’s time to align www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/view...

UK-EU deal is a 'sell-out', says Tory Party whose Brexit cost the UK well over £100 billion and several percentage points off GDP. They can absolutely piss off.

The U.K. fishing industry - weaponised & then betrayed & then abandoned, by Johnson, Farage & the rest of them - is better off under Starmer’s deal than it was under Johnson’s. That’s not an opinion. It’s counting. Anyone claiming otherwise is a liar.
