Reform deputy leader Richard Tice refuses to condemn Sunderland councillor over racist posts. In now-deleted Facebook posts, Glenn Gibbins, a Reform councillor since Friday, ranted: “Carnt [stet] believe amount of nigerians in town... should melt them all down and fill in the pot holes!!”

Reform have suspended a newly elected Sunderland councillor for racist comments, but that's a different Sunderland councillor to the one that was kicked out the party the other day and also not the one who beat his partner and allegedly abused a child that was elected on Thursday.

People being interviewed on the news saying that Labour has abandoned them and that's why they voted Reform. But none of them being asked why they picked the corrupt racists and not one of the other parties.

Thoroughly depressing stuff

Morning! Let’s all do our best today not to vote for racists.

🔴 NEW - Nigel Farage has accepted £2 million since becoming an MP @desmog.com’s analysis, published by The Guardian, shows that the Reform leader has raked in millions on top of the £5 million handed to him by Harborne

There's no mystery about why Farage, Trump, Boris Johnson and others of their stamp get away with things that would instantly destroy any leftwing politician: they're protected by the oligarchs they serve, who own most of the media and intimidate much of the rest.

…and not for the first time.

Job interview advice

"In nineties Warner Bros cartoon Pinky and the Brain, the mice would come up with a new plan to take over the world every night, and each night they would end up back in the cage as failures, one of them fuming with rage. "The leader of the free world is increasingly falling into that pattern."

This is repellant, but it is also an opportunity. To win, Reform would rely on a lot of voters not fully signed up to its agenda – people sick of the established parties and want to roll the dice on something new. The more this stuff is publicised, the harder those voters are to win over (or keep).

First mistake

🔴 A flagship British research agency has given £50m+ of UK taxpayer cash to US tech firms Beneficiaries include firms bankrolled by Sam Altman and Eric Schmidt Some firms were incorporated in U.K. just a day before being given millions Scoop on D4S democracyforsale.substack.com/p/dominic-cu...

America needs more of this. youtu.be/pE-dV4BtK6Q?...

So, I've got some questions for Nigel Farage, about his £5m gift. Here's one: "You have previously stated that on police advice, you hold no parliamentary surgeries…Given that we now know you have a large private security budget, why are you unable to hold constituency surgeries?" Here's the rest:

Reform say they have "the best vetting in the country". So far that’s delivered: a Mosley fan, a Holocaust denier, a man who wants migrants in slave camps, and a self-declared angel of God.

Reform UK continually cry foul when accused of wanting to privatise the NHS.... You can't believe a word they say...

Yep

The rules are very clear. MPs are required declare gifts like this soon after being elected. The election was back in July 2024. If an MP owes their personal security to a multi-million pound benefactor, you have the right to know.

If this is Reform’s idea of manifesto material, it tells you everything. A party that chooses its own version of history isn’t fit to lead - it’s controlling the narrative. This isn’t cultural policy, it’s culture-war bollocks. We’re better than this 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If the #JCB Family of Multi-Millionaires are so hard up to pay proper Inheritance Taxes, why are they able to donate SO MUCH MONEY to #Reform Party? Oh ... so they have expectations of #Reform helping out the Multi-Millionaires? Right. Noted. "Party of the People", eh?🤮🤮
