The other thing when writing to BBCITVCh4Sky you will be told is that Reform are leading in the polls. Rebuttal on this is ‘if the other parties that have also done well namely Libs & Greens had their success parroted over& over would they not be higher in the polls too? Self fulfilling prophecies

@iaindale.bsky.social show (if the right one) on @lbc.co.uk talking about the winter fuel payment u-turn... Let's see what 120 seat CONservatives have to say, and 5 seat Reform; Don't worry about 72 seat lib dems, we don't need to hear their views, or 4 seat Greens or 4 seat welsh party Plaid!! 🤦‍♂️

So Farage, the great defender of “national sovereignty” and “the pound”, is now pushing something that will effectively destroy both. He’s a charlatan and he couldn’t care less about the UK.

These are the 3 leaders of the biggest opposition parties at Westminster - Kemi Badenoch (121 seats), Ed Davey (72 seats) & Stephen Flynn (9 seats) meanwhile Adrian Ramsey leads Greens with 4 seats. How often do they get reported compared to Nigel Farage (5 seats)? Time to demand fair coverage NOW

Shamima Begum was a 15-yr-old grooming victim, preyed on by a terrorist organisation. Lucy Connolly is a grown woman who called for mass slaughter in the UK completley of her own volition. But who is the right siding with and who did they demonise?

More should have been made about Farage's absence from Parliament in the week of the summit. After all, the date was well known in advance. And next week is a holiday for the Commons anyway. This is someone who deliberately chose not to be present.

Sky News Sam Coates blames Johnson for the UK EU deal, rightly, but forgets Farage's part in it. Call out Farage for his main role in the Brexit nonsense.

"Farage is a midwife of failure. He is one of the root causes of the cost-of-living crisis in the UK. Farage’s policies have played havoc with our public finances and with our security. We need to call him out.” Stephen Gethins MP, talking to Bylines Scotland.

'I never imagined a Labour leader would ever channel the spirit of Enoch Powell.' After Keir Starmer's migration clampdown speech and ahead of more post-Brexit talks, @matthew-wright.bsky.social wonders if the PM is actually 'a closet Tory'.

Farage not to be trusted on any level - he sold Brexit on lies - NHS will be sold off to his private interests?

Well done @itvnews.bsky.social on pointing out the soaring rise in immigration “since we completed Brexit” - a key factor. This should be pointed out to Farage (who championed Brexit) in every interview
