I don’t think the media gave SKS even a 24 hour honeymoon. They were on his case the morning after the GE.

It can take many leaders years to grow into the statesman you became in just two years. European and Ukrainian security is stronger because of you. Thank you, dear Keir.

Labour MPs busying themselves handing the keys to No 10 to Farage today in a catastrophic act of self harm both for them and the country.

OK: 1. Who paid for Farage’s Clacton house and how many nights has he stayed 2. Why was the £5m not declared, if for security why no surgeries in Clacton 3. What does the crypto billionaire get in return www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Keir Starmer is still Prime Minister with a large majority. Same happened to Blair and he was PM for another 8 years. All were going to have now is incompetence and scandal after scandal.

Yes. Stop Farage. Stop Reform. Stop the corruption. Stop the racism. Stop the misogyny. Stop the hatred. Stop the cruelty. Stop the incompetence. Stop the division. Stop the threats. Stop the fascism. Stop the failure. Just, ffs, stop him.

At 93, former nurse Dorothy is speaking out for the first time in her life. Reform tried to close her care home, to evict her friends from the place they feel safe. They saw an easy target but these terrified pensioners fought back. And Dorothy is urging us all to do the same...

The face of the man who owns Reform and who will decide all their policies. You won't have ever heard of this Thai business man because Nigel Farage keeps him hidden. But he is who you are voting for.

This is so true, it has become a blood sport for the media here in the UK in recent years. They do not have the best interests of the country at their core, just clickbait for their malleable readers. BBC as bad as any of them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Surprise! He may not appear to be the most dynamic of leaders but in a situation like this he wouldn’t have lied to try and kick the story down the road. That was a Johnson trait.

If only it were that easy while faced with the reality of governing a country that had been burned to the ground economically by the Tory administration. Maybe those running off to other parties could have hung on for a few years while the mess was sorted.
