Really, Reform UK? THIS is what you're going with? That this man, who served as an MEP next to Nigel Farage for years and was made leader of your party in Wales by current deputy, Richard Tice, is just "one of tens of thousands of people Nigel meets on an annual basis"?~AA

A helpful primer.

Join us for the Annual #ChallengePoverty Week Lecture on Thurs 8th October Poverty Alliance and SPIRU will be joined by Professor Ruth Patrick delivering the lecture : Imagining Better: Social security, hope/lessness and how we might and must make change happen. Sign up: www.tfaforms.com/5196599

Better work conditions lead to better outcomes for everyone- those in work and those seeking work. I am looking forward to #ChallengePoverty week #WeDemandBetter

"The people of the UK, you might think twice before you let Mr Farage make Britain great again" *drops mic* 🎤

“He's done everything he could to break down this country - now he's gone off to America to tell everyone how broken we are. "Well, thanks.” Nigel Farage has been busy slagging off the UK in Congress… of course Britain is broken, he broke it. www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/the-...

It makes me proud of my City of birth 💙

Here is a true patriot - born in Zanzibar, an asylum seeker fleeing civil war in his country, he became a true British icon and hero to millions. So I thought I’d do a bit of flag waving with my bi-sexual British legend and hero💙 #PatriotismAndPride

I’ve supported-have you? Follow @hopenothate.org.uk and see how you can play your part in fighting racism.

Nigel Farage thinks he can deport hundreds of thousands of people. He can’t.

@danneidle.bsky.social Hi Dan - I have long been puzzled by the VAT threshold - would it be good policy to/feasible to scrap it and force all companies onto HMRC’s radar? Thanks in advance

Farage “Have you seen what’s happened since 2010?” Yes and most of them are now in your party and they’re the less lunatic fringe!!!

Le Sacré Coeur - J’entente votre Coeur

Hard to argue with that analysis, it’s the reason why I can comfortably describe Reform UK Ltd voters as either stupid, racist or driven by self interest over the national best interest. Of course you can be all three!

I think the reality is Keir Starmer is now damaged and @lizkendallmp.bsky.social needs to go. It’s shameful for a Labour party to behave like this-very sad. It’s not enough to say they’re better than Reform it’s a too lower bar!

A night celebrating Greater Manchester Good Employment - criteria of secure, flexible, well paid, employee engagement, recruitment, people management and health and wellbeing. Brilliant employers doing brilliant things for their workers supported by @teamlabouruk.bsky.social Deputy PM Angela Rayner

A brief 2 minute wait for my @beenetworkgm.bsky.social bus for the @goodempcharter awards tonight. Where the very best in employers in Greater Manchester are recognised by @mayorofgm.bsky.social Andy Burnham. A visionary innovation for improving economic growth

This is why I love Guardiola both as a manager and a person. He has a moral compass and isn’t afraid to express his views for those without a true voice. #gaza #justice #peace

Spurs v PSG in Super Cup 🫣 United celebrating their European loss 🤣🤣

@rupertlowe.bsky.social www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/ref...

It demonstrates just how far this country has sunk into the gutter when the mob’s first concern isn’t the dead, dying or injured in Liverpool - but the ethnicity of the criminal so they can weaponise it to push a racist agenda. It is so fucking shameful. The absolute antithesis of patriotism.

The BBC should be ashamed of itself. It’s a fine institution but to force this man out whilst grandstanding people like Farage or having Andrew Neil on the payroll whilst editing the most politically racist Spectator magazine shows a level of hypocrisy that takes one’s breath away! Good luck Gary!!

Never forget what Farage did to this country - facilitated by the totally incompetent and arrogant Cameron 🫣 #nevervotereform

To focus on NIC and pay rises is to ignore the benefits of the productivity premium #LWPConf25

Today I am at the splendid Lambeth Town Hall in Brixton. I will be challenging the idea that increasing wages should restrict business from employing. On the contrary I will be demonstrating the “productivity premium” of paying the @livingwageuk.bsky.social rate of £12.60 as a minimum #LWPConf25

I like this….a lot 🫢

Love this man - losing at Wembley is always tough - but never forget the good times!! @mancity.com

Great footballer, brilliant TV presenter and all round bloody nice fella. He has campaigned for those without a voice and didn’t allow those filled with hate to silence him 👏👏👏👏💙

Fed up with Farage? Me too. I’ve signed the Never Nigel Pledge. Add your name today, and help show that division and hate have no place in our communities. secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/170649/... @hopenothate.org.uk

Unfortunate strap line Jim err sorry Nige🫢

🚫 Never Nigel? You’re in good company. Thousands have already taken the pledge to stand up to Farage and his party’s toxic vision. ✍️ Add your name and get involved today: hopenothate.org.uk/never-nigel

VAR is like Brexit - once it’s in you can’t get rid of it no matter how much of a failure it is!

As @mrjamesob.bsky.social would say….oh! news.sky.com/uk

This is my Gt Uncle Wilbraham. He was Dunkirk veteran & lived to the grand age of 102!! He never spoke about his experience, the only reason the family knew he was at Dunkirk was because his sister (my grandmother) saw him on Pathé news at the cinema disembarking a ship. #VEDay2025 NO MORE HATRED!

It’s alarming that for years governments of all colours haven’t seen the disincentives to grow of the VAT threshold. New tech is the fast growth high productivity sector and better working practices within all businesses (good employment) will deliver better productivity. @resfoundation.bsky.social

The importance of good grammar…..

These results are bleak but we cannot give up. Today, the HOPE not hate team have been working up plans to hold Reform to account and to prevent more gains in the huge set of elections next year. But we need support so if you can, please donate today secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/170607/...

Where’s Tommy Robinson eh? Oh that’s right they’re the wrong colour!

Real Living Wage or National 'Living Wage'? What's the difference? ✅ Real Living Wage: £12.60 UK / £13.85 London, based on actual living costs ⚖️ National 'Living Wage' £12.21 (legal minimum for 21+) Over 15,000 employers are choosing to do more livingwage.org.uk/accredit

People want to be respected and they look at the social contract and see it is, in most cases, broken. By paying the Living Wage you offer the chance for young people to save, buy a house, have a pension, delivering the social contract of work hard and you will be able to aspire to a better life.

What @guyshrubsole.bsky.social says!!

They missed the part where he marched up Dulwich high street singing Hitler youth songs and bullying a Jewish boy at school by mimicking gas noises in his ear…..but that’s probably what endears him to his followers!

Well worth a watch…. Why tariffs are bad from 1987!!

Yesterday I attended my first Living Wage City Region meeting. There were 2 main takeaways - the desire to deliver a @LivingWage for all remains as strong as ever, despite a difficult landscape. Secondly, the movement is increasing accreditation numbers. #GreaterManchester #livingwage

I see Nigel Farage and Reform UK Ltd have improved their candidate and membership vetting 🤣🤣 This is the kind of people who are in Reform. - and they are looking electable 🤦🏼

This 👇

NO POVERTY is no. 1! 2 simple words with a complex impact if delivered. No party in Westminster is taking poverty seriously-they talk a good game but actions speak louder than words. It’s 20 yrs since the last sustained drop on poverty numbers. That’s why I support the @livingwageuk.bsky.social

I was visiting Holyrood earlier this week and whilst reading the inscriptions I thought of you @mrjamesob.bsky.social - O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us!
