Misinformation and lies: Reform UK play on fears of elderly veterans to get elected

Reform UK doesn’t do democracy. Leader: unelected Board: 3/7 elected (one is leader with deciding vote) Candidates: selected, and approved centrally, not elected Chair / Deputy: unelected Policies: undebated, unvoted The example of Zia Yusuf shows that money buys positions.

There's a predictable approach to denial that we're already seeing, which I call the Four Pillars of Disordered Doubt, which allows actors to constantly question evidence that don't fit their preferred narratives.

Lovely hatchet job on the monstrosity that is Suella Braverman. Crace covers it all; her dishonesty, disloyalty, nastiness, incompetence, her wild vanity… and her deep stupidity. How dare these utter arses think we’d be persuaded by their swaggering nonsense. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Michael Manning is Reform UK’s candidate in the Zetland, Redcar and Cleveland by-election. At this point we would normally point you to his Twitter account, but he deleted it just before his nomination was confirmed. We gathered a good picture of his views, before he did.

Where are the poppy patriots? Why are they completely silent on this grotesque insult to our armed forces and specifically the 2,000 UK service and civilian personnel who were injured and the 457 who died in Afghanistan?

This May’s elections are expected to bring chaos because our voting system is broken. I’ve written to my MP to push for fairer elections before it’s too late. It takes 2 minutes to do the same here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell... @compassoffice.bsky.social

Elon Musk’s X is helping people create indecent images of KIDS. His response to outcry this week? He doesn’t give a f*ck. Imagine his face if millions get the f*ck off of X though. Join millions deleting their accounts. Link in bio to download this poster for free and spread this worldwide.

NEW: NEW: Standards commissioner finds Nigel Farage committed seventeen breaches of MPs code of conduct. He failed to declare £333,000 in outside interests (more than 3x MPs annual salary)…

⚠️Farage in 2022: "It is a complete insult to voters for MPs to have the arrogance to think that it's them they voted for. You, the voters are just useful to them once every few years." ❓Jenrick in 2026: "I don't intend to call a by-election. I believe my constituents knew that I stood up for them."

Seems Nigel Farage was “too ill” to do BBC Breakfast yesterday, but not too ill to record a Cameo. 👀

Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders. When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it. He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead. The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me. A pattern emerging...

Big turnout at Preston Flag Market to protest against Reform UK plans that could see ten care facilities close, hearing from cllrs from Progressive Lancashire and Labour, affected families and Lorraine Beavers, MP for Blackpool North and Fleetwood. LCC insists no decision has been made.

Fact check: This was last week

Next time Reform UK or Nigel Farage talks about 14 years of Conservative government, remind them: Danny Kruger (Conservative Minister) Robert Jenrick (Conservative Minister) Malcolm Offord (Conservative Minister) Nadhim Zahawi (Conservative Minister) Andrea Jenkyns (Conservative Minister)

Reformer Conservatives Leader: Nigel Farage (former Conservative) MP: Lee Anderson (former Conservative) MP: Sarah Pochin (former Conservative) MP: Danny Kruger (former Conservative) MP: Robert Jenrick (former Conservative)

What a headline!

Yaxley-Lennon deleted the tweet after everyone reminded him how YouTube ads work 😂

Who wants to play?

Rules (and the truth!) are important Farage. Like his Tory defects, he thinks he’s above the rules.

Show some gratitude, people – Nadhim Zahawi has joined Reform for our benefit, apparently - Marina Hyde

“We’re gonna need a bigger bus”

Nigel Farage here nailing Nadhim Zahawi's absence of principles.

Nadhim Zahawi 🤔

It's almost as if years of relentless media saturation bombing of flat-out lies, demonisation and blaming don't help the public to understand what is actually happening.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files. Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out. See for yourself.

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

Trump has started his lawsuit against the BBC today. We're writing to BBC Chair Samir Shah demanding that the BBC must NOT offer a Trump a payout. Sign the letter here: stoptrump.org.uk/sign-bbc-let...

Farage just said “I didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.” Here he is, not only wearing a mask, but also getting vaccinated…
