Brexit unleashed epic levels of political dishonesty and anti-immigrant prejudice which were weaponised by unregulated social media and a rightwing press unwilling to hold their own to account. Until govt deals honestly and robustly with this reality, political and national failure is inevitable.

Thanks for reposting! This 👇🏽 was round four… football/domestic violence, casting violence against women as a refugee problem, the utter rubbish re Nigel’s crypto billions - and the viciousness towards migrants - Reform playbook has to be challenged, it’s tough and we need to keep working at it.

I was really pleased to be part of this research study on charging for social care: centreforcare.ac.uk/publications... Please share widely…

Social care charging: is it worth it?
In this report we focus on the charges that Disabled people and older people in England pay for social care at home.

I have a student son Henry Nowak’s age & I can’t imagine what it took for his family to respond outside court with the grace they did, asking that their son’s death not be used for division and hate. That Reform & Restore chose to throw that back in their faces makes me feel sick.

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

Nigel Farage has been referred to the Attorney General for comments he made during the case. The judge said - "I took the view that the observation made by Nigel Farage was potentially a contempt of court as it implied the guilt of the defendants" The man is not fit for politics.

So that’s two of the “Raise the Colours” organisers now charged with violent crimes & a fifth of the 2024 race rioters with domestic abuse. Makes you wonder whether “innocent patriotism” & “protecting women & girls” are just covers for thuggish racism & misogyny?

Labour responds to reports Nigel Farage owes almost £10k for county court judgment after pocketing £5 million: “Farage’s finances just get murkier and murkier. If this is how he handles his own affairs, the public can have no faith in his ability to manage the public finances if Reform won power."

A POSITIVE THOUGHT FOR TODAY Honestly, voting is like taking a bus. If there isn't one going exactly to your destination, you don't stay at home and sulk—you take the one going closest to where you want to be. We can vote better than they can cheat.

80% of Reform's funding comes from people who avoid tax by hiding money offshore. Our idea of true patriotism is to hoard money while contributing nothing towards public services. Just ask Richard Tice.

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter the dire threat of a Reform UK government elected on a minority of the vote

The UK is not ungovernable, and claiming that it is is a dereliction of responsibility. Government has serious deficiencies but we have also had a series of leaders who lack the skills to govern - my latest comment for @instituteforgovernment.org.uk www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/is-u...

Not to excuse this, & it’s a while since I presented anything on the BBC, but I do recall noting an almost subconscious desire to disprove bogus allegations of bias by being particularly tough on Labour & Lib Dems (Ed Davey once complained!) This is another victory for right wing media gaslighting.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform
