Reform are refusing to talk to our reporters at the election counts. Champions of free speech? 🤣🤣

When you see the relentless attacks from other parties on the Greens across the media remember this: They hate our plan to end Rip Off Britain. They don't want a wealth tax. They don't want public ownership & lower bills. They're trying everything in their power to stop us.

Richard Gere helping Asylum Seekers, RT if he is a billion times the man Nigel Farage is.

I literally can't think of another example of a British politician (albeit not an MP at the time) personally taking a sum of cash this big from a tycoon

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

The USA War Crimes are global. Don't be silent for Cuba.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region. Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat. We live in Orwellian times.
