Reform UK’s Warwickshire County Council leader to defy council vote on home-to-school transport

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head. That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

If you taxed every Billionaire in the UK so they only had £1bn you would get £1.1tn, an entire year’s worth of tax revenue. It would affect only 173 People. Tax the Rich, they’ve stolen all the money and dodged tax for decades. It‘s time for payback.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivalent of £10tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.

Either our media has amnesia or they’re just plain complicit in their elevation of Reform. Have they forgotten what happened with our last two populist right wing prime ministers? The chaos of Johnson. The disaster of Truss (praised by Farage). This lack of reporting is a menace

So the Duke of Marlborough is a supporter of Reform UK. He's also had the odd financial problem and he's charged with attempted strangulation of his ex. Multiple attempts. Reform attracts the nicest people. Not.

It is shocking that people have been pushed to take such serious action just to be heard. These events did not happen by accident. They are the result of the government misusing anti-terror laws.

Four hours after the hero's name was released BBC News still calling him 'member of the public' His name is Ahmed el Ahmed He's a Muslim How many Jewish lives did his heroism save?

The arrogance of billionaires insisting people return to massive offices in the age of remote working reminds me of the Lloyds Names, who "invested" their cash and never thought they'd have to cover the losses that they agreed to.

🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years” Hugely important point made by @vicderbyshire.bsky.social 👏

🔴 REVEALED 🔴 The Institute of Economic Affairs – the anti-state, anti-climate pressure group that "incubated" Liz Truss – was bankrolled by oil giants and Rupert Murdoch’s media empire. 📝 Exclusive findings from @desmog.com 👇

The Ellison family’s desire to take over Warner Bros should alarm anyone concerned with U.S. propaganda & media consolidation— They would own Paramount, Warner Bros, CNN, CBS, HBO, TikTok & a host of major cable channels

🔥 WE’RE changing the media. Citizen journalism is peer-to-peer news, it’s forging information networks from the grassroots up, sidestepping the top-down mainstream media. Utterly new and fresh. Become a friend of the Bylines Network and stand with us as we build media as it should be. 👇👇

Agree 100% with #AntonioCosta on this. Butt out #Trump - stick to screwing up the #US. #Europe and the #Uk are the only ones to decide their own paths. #Europe and the #UK cannot and will not accept the threat of interference from #Trump, the #US, #Russia or #China. x.com/eucopresiden...

COVID fraud, how much did it cost us? We're not talking about legitimate increases in spending, or spending on things we might have needed, but didn't lsoe. Just basic fraud from the Tory government's schemes. And it cost us £10.9bn, according to the final report from the COVID Commissioner. 1/2

The Trump administration's foreign policy strategy attacks allies including the UK & has been enthusiastically greeted by the Kremlin. Last month, the USA announced a 'peace deal' the Kremlin had written. And in the UK, the media is full of people still wibbling about 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'.

Great idea not to mention that the entire saving was made in the year ending March 2025, two months before Reform took over.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just now:

Prime Minister of Poland. 🇵🇱

I'd argue that its 1965 release changed Rock and Roll for the better. It kicked open the doors and broke all the windows. Fiat sonus! Fiat musica! link.deezer.com/s/31N0B0eAqy...

Disgusting, racist, and a reflection of the rot that got him elected and is sustaining his presidency. 🤮🔥

Will everyone in my timeline stop saying ‘Release the Russia Report’. Boris Johnson tried to hold it back, but it was released in 2020 with (necessarily) redacted elements and the confirmation British Intelligence never investigated Russian interference

Even at the time, Johnson’s wild weekend in Umbria felt somewhat suspicious. With this new information, you can understand why some are now calling it outright treasonous

'We have historically high welfare spending.' No we don't. 'We have a historically high proportion of working-age people not actually working.' No we don't. 'The number of Britons emigrating is skyrocketing.' No it isn't.

This is Alexander Lebedev, former KGB officer, the close friend of Boris Johnson, father of Lord Lebedev, running a conference in Crimea in 2017 with Sergey Aksyonov - the mafia leader known as the ‘Goblin’ who Putin installed as leader after the invasion

Since we released this @johnsweeneyroar.bsky.social documentary two years ago, more information has come to light that Boris Johnson went to this meeting to discuss a 'backchannel' to Putin with Alexander Lebedev, who was working for the Kremlin in Crimea at the time youtu.be/QkZzN3XHEPY?...

Gent in blue, "There are things about the budget we can moan about" #BBCQT "There are things about the budget we can celebrate" "Children being lifted out of poverty" "I think it was a good thing they put an extra tax on those with properties over £2m"

We launched our Crowdfunder an hour ago - and we've already sailed past £10,000. Extraordinary. Hope is here. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/hopeishere

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

The country wants a wealth tax on assets. They're panicking because "won't the rich just leave" has been utterly debunked. They've got no actual argument. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Alongside many campaigners, the Green Party have absolutely dragged the Labour Government to finally end the child cap. Labour politicians disgracefully defended it for far too long. This shows why the Green Party membership rising and rising matters. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Both Samir Shah and Robbie Gibb should be fired from the BBC, in fact the entire BBC Board should be fired. And replaced with an elected board voted by the people of the UK. Because there is nothing British about the US Billionaire bootlicking sham we have now.

Wrote this a couple of weeks ago. Feels more relevant still after today. And it’s a deficit of self awareness which goes far beyond some members of the BBC board.

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna. Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up. Like if you want Mone on trial. RT if you want them both facing the music.

Hard agree. It’s ugly and unconscionable

“Did Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?” “Did you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?” You can have those for nothing, lads.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

The Daily Mail has bought the Telegraph. This is Lord Rothermere's (the owner of the Daily Mail) Grandfather chilling with Adolf Hitler after he had already declared himself lifetime dictator of Germany.

Eat out to Help Out was killing people, but they “kept it out of the news”.

My thoughts are with all who lost loved ones or still struggle with effects of #Covid. Tho we knew it at the time, confirmation of the “toxic & chaotic culture” at heart of Govt; that they did “too little, too late” & that faster action could have saved over 20K lives is still horrifying

Baroness Jones, "The problem is that labour have not created enough safe managed routes" "If we had safe managed routes people could come here, justify their arrival, start to work, start to pay tax, start to create business" "And actually be a huge benefit to our society"

It is the hectoring tone, the “jeering quality”, in Nigel Farage’s voice today that brings it all back for Peter Ettedgui. “He would sidle up to me and growl: ‘Hitler was right,’ or ‘Gas them,’ sometimes adding a long hiss to simulate the sound of the gas showers“ www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...
