Politicians have to be stopped from blatantly lying. These deliberate lies should bar Reform from the ballot.

We all know why Farage is making these wildly misleading and completely inaccurate claims - I know it and in your hearts you know it too - so however you decide to vote in this by- election please don't be taken in by the politics of division offered by Reform

On commenting on a demo in Newcastle where a protest took place where Nigel Farage was dining, Lee Anderson MP welfare spokesperson for Reform UK showed his contempt for disabled people

Nigel Farage once vehemently believed that defections should trigger by-elections…

I challenged Reform’s Andrea Jenkyns on his now opposite stance

And this was the state of her response…

There’s more I’m afraid…

Andrea Jenkyns says only Reform can sort immigration

I challenge her on how, given they’ve just recruited Jenrick and Braverman who oversaw an explosion in immigration

Her response and insult speaks volumes.

OH MY WORD

Tom Tugendhat @TomTugend... 11h Russia's Potemkin president has hollowed out the state to line his own and his friends' pockets. The gaps are striking and the likely fall in energy prices that would follow a peace deal would expose them further. The truth - as this Russian general says - is that Putin can't afford the war but peace may cost him everything. Yasmina @yasminalombaert • 19h Leonid Ivashov, a heavy-hitting retired Russian Colonel General, recently went rogue and started saying out loud what most people in the Kremlin only dare to whisper. He didn't hold back, basically calling things out for being a mess. The Big Picture: "We're in Trouble"

What kind of corrupt bastard government would deliberately hollow out their country to enrich and empower their own class of wealthy swine, at the public’s expense, meaning they no longer have the capacity to build and maintain essential products and services

Oh F**k off DWP.

The #PIP system is both inhumane and ineffective. Today I received a text to say a decision has been made but that I have to wait for the letter to find out what it is. Yet more anxiety and instability caused by a system meant to support me through #mentalillness which in fact damages it.

Kendall says 'no clear consensus'. when 97% of people oppose a plan I think that's quite a clear majority. Unless she thinks we're in an anarchist cooperative and really wants full consensus before we take any decision

The message is “a simple reminder that Christmas belongs to all of us, and everyone is welcome to celebrate”, the C of E said. Continue reading...
