God Farage is a bore. He voted against improving workers’ rights. He doesn’t want us to have control over our lives. He demands that we live within the stifling confines of his stale old prejudices and resentments. Fewer rights. Less protection. More exploitation. That’s his plan for the rest of us.

Things we haven't forgotten: 🤔 Farage never clarified how he got his Clacton house. He said he bought it, then he suddenly said it was his GF, but noone explained where they got the £885,000 from? 🤔 Farage appointed Nathan Gill, his friend and ally, who turned out was a Russian asset.

Reform UK’s mid-level governance is an utter disaster. Nevertheless, the media are pushing the idea of them in national government as if it would be any better. All of this happened just this week, yet journalists are obsessed with a fabricated ‘scandal of the century.’

In 1 week Farage's company: broke electoral law; had Reform UK mentioned in the Epstein files; had people exposed as fronts for foreign donors money laundering; misled about £40m council savings they didn’t make - Vote Reform and get American paedos and foreign oligarchs crashing your life.

The release of the latest tranche of material from the 'Epstein files' reveals that Reform UK Treasurer Nick Candy maintained contact with Jeffrey Epstein even after his conviction for soliciting prostitution and trafficking a minor. searchlightmagazine.com/2026/02/refo...

Rights everyone would loose if Farage got power & took us out the ECHR! #NeverVoteReform

Even worse, Reform's response suggests they think this is a good idea. Is this now Nigel Farage's policy?

Can the UK Media please also investigate Farage's links with Epstein, since he's likely to be our next Prime Minister, thank you.

Our NHS is not safe with Farage! #NeverVoteReform

🚨Gorton and Denton by-election Reform’s by-election candidate suggested people who don’t have children should pay more tax www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli... PLEASE DON’T BE TAKEN IN BY THE DIVISIVE POLITICS OF REFORM

Can’t credit the author of this because I don’t know who. But very good little infographic. Worth sharing far and wide. Farage is in trouble.

Imagine living next to 25,000 tonnes of rotting, rat-infested rubbish. This is the reality for families in Bickershaw right now—and the land is owned by the King. It’s tearing families apart and making kids sick. We’re calling on the King to take responsibility. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ki...

Labour are extending the Warm Home Discount for several more years, up to 2030/31. It will guarantee millions of eligible households £150 of their energy bills every winter. This winter, Labour expanded the scheme, adding 2.7m more households, meaning over 6m are now eligible. Thank you Labour!

Nigel Farage, has proposed a mass deportation plan called "Operation Restoring Justice," which includes creating a "UK Deportation Command" modelled on the U.S. ICE. Don't vote Reform unless you want innocent blood on UK streets like we see in the USA.

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

"The world would be a better & more secure place if America was in Greenland.. would America owning Greenland be better for the world.. it would" Nigel Farage. Every single progressive party must ensure Reform UK Ltd never ever win a GE.

I’ve always said the only good thing Trump will do is speed up our rejoining, in some guise, the EU. Can’t come soon enough. We need to be in our rightful place and with our own tribe. The yanks are finished

NHS appointments Please, if you are not able to make an appoint, cancel ahead of time. If gives the NHS time to find someone else to take that appointment. Like my wife, who yesterday had a call asking if she could make an appointment this morning. It's how we can all help cut waiting lists.
