Farage confirms he’s glad his (schoolboy) racism has been exposed, that he’s enjoying the electoral kickback it’s given him amongst his racist supporters and expresses absolutely no shame or guilt about it at all. Racist man. Racist party. Racist voters. (iPaper)

“The idea that squeezing a tiny elite of billionaires will pay for everything is fantasy and we do need to expose that.” Good job no one’s ever actually said that - including me. So why is Labour again repeatedly lying to avoid taxing the super-rich? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Imagine having this level of self awareness. 8 charges of accepting Russian Bribes. Welsh Leader of Reform UK. Nathan Gill. Ring a bell?

This is disgraceful! Which idiot encouraged people to vote for the Brexit that made this inevitable?

God honestly. Doesn’t this just sum up Reform. And their plastic patriotism. Can’t even give a straight answer or follow the rules on their unbelievably naff merch. So on brand. Oh well. You sell or wear one of these, you’ve told us all we need to know about you. (iPaper)

What happened to the execs who ruined lives during the Post Office scandal? Fujitsu execs, accountants, lawyers also made millions from the scandal. All living in comfort. None fined, prosecuted. Even when that happens, litigation will last for years. The UK legal system doesn't deliver justice.

I'll strip civil servants of their pensions, but I'm keeping my £73,000 EU pension, despite my attendance record being the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs.

“God the almighty has made our nation. We are defending His work by defending its very existence” Adolf Hitler, January 1945. Seems apt to reflect on this statement in the current political climate.

Citizenship stripping has become a political tool for authoritarians to signal their credentials. No matter how abhorrent someone’s tweets, or views, the idea REMOVING THEIR CITIZENSHIP should be the response is deranged. Philp & the right in general have lost the plot. #r4today

What happened starting in 1980? Mass Privatisation. So instead of your wages being decided by what your Government could afford and what you earned, you are paid as little as possible to maximise profit.

If the average person could earn £400,000 for four hours work a month, they wouldn't need pension advice. It can't be said enough. This man is a spiv, a fraud, and a Russian asset. What he is NOT is any sort of friend to working people. He is the enemy! 🤮 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.
