Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

MPs urge Reeves to raise gambling taxes despite ‘scaremongering’ from firms. Quite right. Bet365 CEO collected £323m in pay and dividends last year. Company paid 12.7% corporation tax on £1.4bn profit. Almost all betting companies have offshore tax haven operations, solely to dodge UK taxes.

And more than this. Extra funding for SEN especially in deprived areas. Protections in the Renting sector. Better links with Europe and young people (for starters). Changes in school curriculum. Safety measure in place to protect kids online. Go and look on the Gov's website. 1 YEAR/3 MONTHS!!

Ed Davey: “The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be a chance for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and not give in to those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it. We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.”

BBC Director General Tim Davie and news CEO Deborah Turness have both quit. Getting rid of a former Tory candidate and the woman who wanted to change output to gain the trust of Reform voters should definitely sort out any left wing bias.

Farage says leaving the ECHR is the “unfinished business" of Brexit and that the UK is "not sovereign” while we are in it. But Farage lies. And Brexit is a shitshow. So, “finishing” it should fill us all with dread. Sovereignty without rights is dictatorship.

Farage couldn't find Clacton on a map, he's not interested in it as it doesn't make him money, but it's a perfect feeding ground for his supporters who believe his lies about immigration and while he uses them he leaves them to further hardship and deprivation.

Perhaps a bright polling expert can profile the reading habits of these constituencies 👇. Fear of the other is a clickbait tactic used daily by 3/4 of the UK press & media. Folks are being slowly radicalised & live in a factual info desert. This is a slippery slop towards US bipartisan world views.

but WHY is this guy talking to us about what will make the UK poorer? He was happy to grenade our economy twice… Brexit and then his batshit budget with Truss. He should be in political oblivion for the mess he made and the price we all have to pay for his party’s failures.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.
