REFUK fielded 609 candidates in the 2024 GE, each allowing the party to spend £54,010 on campaigning - a total of £32,892,090. Therein lies the reason for so many questionable paper candidates.

Anyone remember when Keir Starmer got free tickets to the footy and everyone kicked off?

If you didn't know, this is big and what many of you have been calling for - look at the details... ...all the actions you wanted to on public life, politicial donations and dodgy dealings. Some example measures are summarised in these images...but there is so much more!

I’m disgusted that some senior DWP people have learned nothing about the scale of the misery their policies inflicted. It’s high time the DWP showed some respect to carers and some awareness of their own gross errors.

Good point. Would the EU even want us back with US poodle Nigel 'Make Racism Great Again' Farage leering in the background? The far-right UK threat has to be comprehensively quashed before we'd get a look in -

Labour are committed to getting some money back. But I want to see measures put in place to stop corruption in our future Governments. Tax Payers should be protected from incompetence and wilful theft from people in power.

X being fined by the EU is not a free speech issue. It is a security issue. Musk’s opposition to regulation is driven by the fact that he is backed by authoritarian regimes and is protecting their influence ops, which erode our democratic discourse.

“Offord insisted that Farage was “morally fit” to be prime minister and denied he was employing dog-whistle politics”. There is enough there to suggest that Offord’s grasp of reality is weak.

Would only add: beware of any movement that acts this way. #WomenForward ♥️

spotted on Facebook - brilliant

Dobe

A supposedly grassroots anti-migrant movement led by 'ordinary' women, which is backed by Reform and Conservative politicians and is regularly invited onto news channels to promote their views, is funded by a far-right group and has platformed a Neo-Nazi activist bylinetimes.com/2025/12/05/t...

Liz & Nige could do a joint show. I'm trying to think of an apt title...

OTD in 1994 Russia signed the Budapest memo, guaranteeing Ukraine's territorial integrity in exchange for their nukes, 44 Ukrainian Tu-22 heavy bombers and 1,068 Kh-55 cruise missiles. Which have been fired at Ukraine in this war.

Dubai immigrant, Isabel Oakeshott, whines that Farage got nothing from his deal with the Tories last time, so why should he do that again. Christ. The whining victimhood of these spoiled brats. Squabbling over power, while the rest of us live with the mess they’ve made of our country and our lives.

And nor should it. Farage is a dangerous racist and yet is being fast tracked into No.10 on a ruinous populist agenda, funded by shady right wing money and malign foreign interests. People must know who and what they are voting for. That’s the very lowest bar in a democracy.

Not exactly the party of the people then? Compare this to the funds raised by the Green Party over the last couple of months - from tens of thousands of real people.

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for putting restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether. He did not declare that Reform had just received £9 million from one of its biggest investors bylinetimes.com/2025/12/04/c...

Oh wow, it gets worse for Reform. Their leader in Staffordshire is a 'top fan' of a white supremacist Facebook page. Reform politicians really are nasty people, the worse of the worse in our society.

Just in case the Wail and the Telegraph forget to print it

Mmm. Perhaps we should really speed up house building and increase taxes on investment properties here n the UK too?

Labour’s Employment Rights Bill - a rare effort to address inequality of power. “A large majority of voters backing Nigel Farage also want stronger working rights. Yet he and his MPs voted against every item in the bill.” But of course they did. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Worth a read to remind us why we need to recruit & retain more high quality HMRC staff.

At last! Positive steps to recover the proceeds of crime.👍

A small number of newspaper and TV station owners, dictate the narrative, which is to get the Labour Govt. out and install a mob of right-wing spiffs and crooks, who will govern on behalf of private money and power.

If I was his dentist, I'd punch everyone of those nicotine-stained fuckers our of his lying, racist gob!

Phew good job Farage doesn’t still have a big ❓ over him re whether he dodged £40K in Stamp Duty OR over his girlfriend being embroiled in a Corruption investigation in Brussels OR over his #Racism not just at school but also as leader of UKIP allegedly using the N word But hey.. about Reeves 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️

John O'Connell Just as USA has a Republican #Trump #MAGA #Paedophile problem, Britain has a White Right Wing #Paedophile problem. This one's a Tory Councillor who stood on a platform of 'Protecting Our Women and Children.'

If you're not a millionaire and don't want you, your family & friends to be bankrupt or die young don't let Labour's Wes Streeting, Tories or Reform finish the job of privatising our NHS #SocialistSunday

“Operation Raise the Colours’ flag organiser and co-founder Andy Saxon is a staunch ally of Tommy Robinson and a former member of the English Defence League. He has previously been jailed for his part in a racist death when a 59-year-old man was crushed to death by a car following a violent brawl.

Farage's alliance with the US hard-right should alarm every British woman

Very difficult not to accept reality in the face of information such as this:

As billionaire owned papers tell the poor to pity millionaires, Britain’s fash dads are groomed by foreign bot farms. Nothing screams “take our country back” like funding Lamborghinis for the foreigners you claim to hate because you fell for their fake racism. Unbelievable. youtu.be/JDyGTaLKp5o?...

Isn't it refreshing when someone actually does nuance and detail? H/t @andyverity.bsky.social at the BBC!

💰One of the biggest problems with PFI? Following the money. Contracts change hands. Investors come and go. Money disappears into complex corporate structures. The public funds it. But who's profiting? 🔍 : everydoctor.org.uk/talking-poin...

Mmmm. Had Lord Bamford settled his outstanding £500m (yes, half a billion) tax bill with HMRC yet?

Ask yourself why there wasn’t this level of wall to wall coverage for this shooting wgme.com/news/local/i...

Around 26,000 of the neediest people in County Durham will have to start paying council tax next year as the county council scraps 100% rebates for people of working age. About 2,400 others who already pay some council tax will lose part of their rebate.

Thank GOD for Andrew Fisher!! FINALLY we get to hear about Spain on #r4today The fastest growing economy in Europe & outstripping the US as well & how? Wealth tax, rent controls & a positive integration-focused approach to immigration & asylum!! 🙌👏👏👏

Videos falsely claiming cash withdrawals over £200 will be monitored by the authorities are continuing to be shared online, despite similar messages having been debunked months ago.

Next time someone asks what's the matter with Musk's Twitter, show them this: An account in India, amplifying a billionaire from South Africa being cheered by an Irish passport holder (using an alias) to encourage civil unrest in the UK.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Oh Do shut up you Nazi fascist nob

So Trump has been using his Sharpie pens again …🧐

The Telegraph is now having to publish so many corrections to articles where it attempts to find *any angle whatsoever* to attack net-zero polices that it makes sense to start tracking them here. These are the ones published since Labour won the election. "We are happy to correct the record."
