There is a hell of a pattern emerging with Polanski. Someone who makes so many "mistakes" is not close to credible.

Reform remain smaller than all the main parties, including the Greens. Although, listening to the news, you wouldn’t believe it. 🤷‍♂️

Kemi Badenoch has African descent but that doesn’t stop her colleagues from engaging in racism.

One week with Bumpy! Like any baby, he sleeps deeply and often – especially snuggled up to his Keeper, with a tummy full of milk. Rescued last weekend after his mother died in a territorial fight, he now has a family with us and a wild future ahead. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/bumpy

How about this as some headlines: *Reform went backwards on last year *Results in line with their falling poll score *They underperformed their polls in Scotland *If this had been a General, they wouldn't have won a majority even when the govt is phenomenally unpopular Bit of a different story?

Don’t know why this springs to mind…

All of them. But immagrunts. Hope they enjoy council tax rises and cuts to other local services. God, it's so depressing how thick people are. #LocalElections

I guessed orange, but it was chocolate. I guessed toffee, but it was peanut. I guessed strawberry, but it was coffee. I was wrong on so many Revels

This is deeply disturbing behaviour. And when, after weeks of this, the Party's former leader finally makes a statement about it, this response (and others like it) suggest an organisation that has very, very badly lost its way.

You gotta enrol with it

Statements that have now come to light from a handful of @TheGreenParty candidates are totally unacceptable & require immediate action. There’s no place for anti-semitism or any hate speech in the party. This is a society-wide problem & needs to be rooted out wherever it’s found
