Reform has fallen to 15% in Scotland — their lowest in over a year. They've lost their national lead for the first time. Neil Kinnock called them a "posh boys club" with "no design, no practical plan." Their flagship council is a "horror show." Is the bubble bursting? Let's hope so 🙏

I wonder if the people in these photos are authentic? @reformexposed.bsky.social

Priti Patel just claimed on @lbc.co.uk that as Foreign Secretary she had "literally been glued into her offices".

A recent testimony given to the Undercover Policing Inquiry has revealed further details of systematic targeting against anti-arms trade campaigners, including Campaign Against Arms Trade. caat.org.uk/news/underco...

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

Same principle with the removal of ESOL teaching. They're afraid of education and critical thinking.

Today's Grantham Journal reports that Reform councillors at @southkesteven.bsky.social would prefer not participate in Committee meetings than spend an hour or so learning about diversity, equality and extremism. Fully signed up to Big Brother's dictum "Ignorance is Strength".

People used to moan about the cost of housing in 1990. Little did they know!

Reform mayor of Greater Lincolnshire, Andrea Jenkyns, plans to withdraw Esol [English for Speakers of Other Languages] to “redirect the budget to Lincolnshire people”. For 15 years Esol education has been politicised as part of the wider immigration discussion. theconversation.com/english-clas...
