www.gov.uk/government/n... Whilst right-wingers bang on about supporting veterans whilst doing nothing, this Government is ensuring military families live in decent housing.

A reminder that an MP who has liked been in the news the past few days has not actually made a speech in the House of Commons since March 2024. Supplementary questions yes, but nothing in the Chamber of note in over a year. So much for being independent.

Nigel Farage told the LDRS he allowed "different opinions" in the party but not people "filled with hate" That is clearly a lie based on candidates.

Police alerted to Reform UK election rule 'breach' leaflet www.kentlive.news/news/kent-ne...

This is not a scene from a movie. A sitting Senator in the United States of America just said this.

www.gov.uk/government/n... Great to see @lucyrigby.bsky.social intervening, but the question has to be why so many of these sentences are being handed out so leniently in the first place. To go from 3 years to 10 years shows how misjudged the first decision was.

Tommy Robinson supporters and conspiracy theorists: Meet Reform UK’s Lincolnshire candidates hopenothate.org.uk/2025/04/17/r...

This is the sort of combative trade unionism that puts so many people off getting involved.

www.gov.uk/government/n... British businesses and organisations better supported to trade carbon credits as part of new work to establish the UK as the global hub for green finance.

John Birch, Reform UK candidate for Admirals & Cawston, Warwickshire. He hates Muslims. He's quite open about it, which is why it's suprising that Reform UK didn't pick up on this in their vetting. He's actually stood for Reform UK 3 times, and UKIP twice. Here he is with Farage back then.

Literally nothing left to cut. If Reform take control of a council, it will be disastrous but at least people will then see how incompetent they are.

Councillor slams 'racist' social media posts made by Reform UK’s Buckingham local election candidate www.bucksherald.co.uk/news/politic...

These people are just vile and have no place in public life.

www.gov.uk/government/n... More than half a million more UK savers are in line for Government bonuses worth up to £25 a month to boost their cash pots and help ease rises in the cost of living, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has announced today.

If Runcorn needs Reform, why did they select a Tory to stand for them?

www.gov.uk/government/n... Tens of thousands of patients are receiving care closer to home, so they don’t have to be added to lengthy NHS waiting lists, as the government confirms the expansion of a GP scheme to shift care from hospital to community.

www.gov.uk/government/n... British soldiers have successfully tracked, targeted and defeated swarms of drones in the latest trial of a new directed energy weapon developed in the UK.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Over 70 contacts made tonight speaking to residents in Enderby (was windy!) It is always great to meet residents and hear about their concerns. Ravinder Kaur will make a superb Cllr for Enderby and Lubbesthorpe.

Reform UK’s Runcorn candidate Sarah Pochin hit with misconduct finding during time as magistrate www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

Susan Eacock Reform UK candidate for Redditch South, Worcestershire. Seriously Reform UK, how did you not pick this one up in your vetting?!

Just shows how some people have always wanted to use this issue as a culture war. And for another MP (we know who), who has made their entire focus about this issue, to simply reply "phew" on twitter, suggests they aren't interested in the complexities.

Shane Benton, Reform UK candidate for Benn, Warwickshire. Here he's breaking election law by using Warwickshire County Council's logo on his imagery. He's also using an unauthorised image of Rugby School (we have evidence), which may imply their endorsement, which they have not given.

CPI inflation fell to 2.6 per cent in March. That's lower than the Bank of England and market forecasts were expecting (2.75 per cent).

UK growth up, inflation down, minimum wage up, pensions up, wages outstripping inflation... Not too bad, eh? #uklabour

97.5% of major roads across the country will be roadwork free over the Easter holidays, speeding up journey times and improving living standards. Comes as government doubles fines and applies charges up to £10,000 a day for those overrunning to clear more roads

www.gov.uk/government/n... Whilst good to have collective agreement on the horrors unfolding in Sudan, I'm not really sure what concrete actions has been declared here. I fear that nothing will change.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s top adviser, Dan Caldwell, was escorted out of the Pentagon after being identified in a leaks probe.

Much welcomed announced from the DWP. The injustices faced by so many receiving carer's allowance under the Tories was appalling. Good to see this Government cracking on with reforming the system, so Carers aren't overpaid allowances and then hassled to repay.

Northants Reform candidate posts offensive comment about Grenfell survivors and jokes about being KKK member www.nnjournal.co.uk/p/northants-...

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... No respect for nature these days.

Nigel Farage Was Asked How He Plans To Pay For All Of Reform's Policies – And Couldn't Answer www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/nigel-...

Whilst the plastic patriots are tapping into public discontent, we have an actual patriot called Tapp, who is serving his constituents in Dover ably, whilst Farage goes anywhere but Clacton.

Just watched the Home Counties private schoolboy Nigel Farage telling northern voters how he understands steelworkers because he used to work in the “metals business” himself. He was, ahem, a commodities trader at the London Metal Exchange in the City.

Ofgem is expected to confirm the National Energy System Operator's ambitious new plan to reform grid connections and unlock billions of investment. So-called ‘zombie’ projects will no longer hold up the queue for connection to the electricity grid.

There is one message for the government on this anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster No watering down, no ifs or buts, no more delays. It is time to deliver a Hillsborough Law in full in the name of 97 football fans who were unlawfully killed

When you see right-wing politicians shout "Brexit Betrayal !!", The only betrayal was Brexit itself. The Government need to align with the EU as closely as possible.

www.gov.uk/government/n... Sudan has been the forgotten war for so long. Focus has rightly been on Ukraine and the Middle East, but the horrors being perpetrated in Sudan are appalling.
