#NigelFarage and #Reform dress themselves in the cloak of patriotism, but they'd gut this country and sell it out to #Putin. #KeirStarmer is right to to come out swinging and the sooner Reform are exposed before the public the better.

Farage will say anything to get in power. While declaring Ukraines President “isn’t a dictator” in a vain attempt to draw in pro-Ukrainian votes, Farage is at the MAGA conference slagging off Britain and supporting Trump with a barrage of lies. This man is sleaze personified.

Well if this👇🏼were remotely true Farage, Lowe, Tice, Anderson etc would all be banged up.. but we have freedom of speech The very thing which he claims doesn’t exist, he abuses 😡

#ToriesGone231 Reform UK are a Mirror Image of Trump's Fascist Regime! #NeverReform #FarageRiots Union Boss warns Trump should be "a cautionary tale" against supporting Farage ‘This is what happens when you let the Political Fraudsters of the Populist Right in’ leftfootforward.org/2025/02/unio...

The truth 👇

Of course, the notion that working class people are anti-immigrant is itself classist. Oh, and lots of immigrants are working class.

Interesting what happens when migration is looked at in a positive light. If only the UK would be so forward thinking instead of fighting a political war with reform.

Well let’s face it Farage showed the same degree of economic ignorance as Truss when he raved about her budget👇🏼😂 So any policies of his will have more flaws than diet water❗️🙄

Baroness Chakrabarti, "JD Vance says the threat comes from inside Europe, not from China or Russia" "At the moment, what I'm hearing from Kemi Bandeoch is more of the same, culture war stuff"

Is it just me.. or do you find #RancidRacistRupert Lowe’s attempts to spark a race war deeply disturbing👇🏼 He’s upping the anti with his “anti-white racism” claims.. Today with something aimed at including a higher % of other races into their boards of directors Trouble is ppl buy his lies❗️🤦🏼‍♂️

Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and replace it with US Health Insurance which would be 4x more expensive and worse in every way. Except for the £600bn a year profit for him and his mates.

Hugely privileged man baby would rather country was taken over by a brutal dictator than pay taxes he had planned to avoid. Nice. #TaxTheRich #Cnuts #Putin

Dear Farage supporters, note the USA yearly deaths from lack of health insurance vs Canada (UK too) and tell me that still want health insurance instead of the NHS.

Pressure is growing on the Royal Society to expel Elon Musk from its fellowship after more than a thousand scientists signed an open letter expressing dismay at its lack of action on the matter www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Starmer's government has abolished John Woodcock, aka "lord" Walney's role as Independent Adviser on Political Violence and Disruption. Johnny Boy took funding from the Israeli lobby, fossil fools, and arms dealers

No-one risks their life in the Channel in a flimsy boat unless they have no choice. Labour’s cruel move to block refugees from citizenship — bypassing Parliament — shows a dangerous rightward shift, ditching human rights & international law. It must be reversed.

Writing this with a heavy heart: the refugee citizenship ban is the single most unconscionable policy Labour has proposed since it entered power. It’s the moment that I felt my support for this administration begin to crumble inews.co.uk/opinion/colu...

It's quite staggering to me, that some people still do not know what a lying self-serving odious little turdsack Farage really is.

In the 2024 election, some of us urged a vote for the Greens or independents. We said that this was the only way to build pressure on Labour, otherwise they would just act on pressure from Nigel Farage. Next time, maybe listen to us.

“This is bad, full stop. It creates a class of person who are forever excluded from civic life no matter how long they live here. It’s also a clear breach of the refugee convention.” Damn straigt, @colinyeo.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Prohibition doesn't work. It never has. If there is desperation, people will always find a way. To eliminate people smugglers - give people safe, legal routes to seek asylum. Stopping small boats without alternative safe routes only reinforces the usage of people smugglers. Labour KNOW this. 👊

If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much. The real #TwoTierPolicing www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

People seeking asylum are not illegal on arrival. They come by dangerous routes as there is no other option!! #hopenothate #careforcalais #jcwi

Labour's disgusting deportation stunt this week wasn't just morally bankrupt, it was politically stupid. Politicians need to find the backbone to be honest about the real source of our problems: the wealthy elite draining money from our communities metro.co.uk/2025/02/11/l...

If you fight on the far right’s terrain, you will lose. Parroting their anti-immigration rhetoric only legitimises them, & people will always choose the original over the copy. Defend human rights, stand by our principles & fight for a socialist vision — that’s how we will win!

If the government really wanted to put people smugglers out of business, they would open safe routes for refugees.

“What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP” This is superb from @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

Labour is upping the ante on anti-migrant politics just to learn that Farage & the Tories can always, always go further than them. It’s real people who are caught in the crossfire of politicians trying to outdo each other on toughness. How we treat people matters. #r4today

Posting footage of deportations impresses no one. Reform voters don’t think it’s enough hatred and the rest of us turn away from yet more performative cruelty. The Labour vote disintegrates. If Labour can’t decide who it should be talking and listening to, then it ends up without an audience.

"I'm surprised because I thought he was more for the people and human rights."

The moral of this video is if you're ill, or might get ill in the future and/or a loved one is ill, or might get ill in the future and you're not a millionaire don't vote Reform

If Labour approves the Rosebank oil field, it would be the final straw for many of its green-minded voters. It might appease corporate power for a moment, but in doing so it will lose far more than it gains. The government seems to be on a self-destructive streak. Now's the time to rethink.

Is this real?? Sckening - serving up people’s suffering to appease the populist Right. When will Labour learn you can’t out-Reform Reform? Instead, offer a far bolder agenda of green investment in local communities, public services in public hands, wealth taxes on super-rich, & a bit of hope FFS

If I had to use one word to describe her? Insane.

This is ghoulish from Labour. Using people's suffering to try and appease Reform, which is something no-one will ever go far enough for. Labour has the potential to actually be doing something to reduce hostility. Instead they are stoking anti-migrant attitudes just like the Conservatives did.

Bob Marley's 80th birthday. He knew what to do.

Please Labour, Stop with this Reform-aping arseholery. We see it for what it is and we hate it. We’re v tired of the nastiness, the cowardice and the dishonesty of blaming immigration for govt failures. Put this nasty messaging in the bin and do better. Thanks UK www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This is shameful 😥 Deporting people won't make your life better. Only redistribution of wealth will. Why are Labour joining in the hate game? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Let us know the facts about costs of nuclear waste too... Maybe an FOI request needed. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents. It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years. There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

After spending months accusing migrants of not integrating in the UK, Kemi Badenoch has announced plans to make it more difficult for migrants to integrate in the UK.
