“Did you know that 8 in 8 Reform MPs in Great Britain are paid for by foreign actors/entities? Does that seem right? Only your vote for a non-racist party will fix our broken political system.” Fixed it for you, you frog faced treasonous traitor.

In 2016 Nigel Farage said that leaving the EU would mean fewer (white) migrants from the European Union. Suggesting we would have more (black and brown) migrants from Commonwealth/other countries. So when Brexiters are upset at the migration mix, not only were the told this, but they voted for it.

Ms Rachel from the top ropes
From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign."

Man who enobled a KGB agent's son... despite SIS raising concerns... says what?
This is just not true. As soon as I became
foreign secretary I asked the security
services the same question and they
replied that there was no evidence of any
successful interference in the 2016
referendum, by Russia or any other power


Either the security services have changed
their view - which would be very odd - or
Burnham is lying about what he has been
told. After all Starmer was in power for two
years and had access to exactly the same
information.

🧵 Matt Goodwin demanded to be fact-checked live on air when he claimed the UK spent "£100 million PER YEAR on family planning and condoms in Pakistan". He then 'corrected' himself to £74.3 million, saying it was based on a "major news story from October 2025" He was, of course, still wrong... 1/30
Screenshot of LBC tweet:

How much has the UK actually spent on condoms in Pakistan? 

Henry Riley is sceptical about Matt Goodwin's numbers so the reform politician calls himself to be fact-checked live on air.

This is one of the most ignorant things I have seen in a while. Dangerous anti-Autistic nonsense. No, cayenne pepper, cilantro, and parsley won’t get rid of Autism. Autism is NOT a parasite, we’re born this way and kitchen seasonings won’t change that.
And if your child has autism, give them Cayenne pepper S they won't have autism no more!!!If you would like some proof
i, l can post
some children in the comments who were nonverbal and can talk now!!! ( start with the binder first, which is the cilantro and parsley.
And then add the cayenne pepper in like a few days later, because you want the body to be able to bind to these toxins and pull them out the right way. That's why I also recommend working along holistic practitioner. That way you can have some support. I can connect you to a holistic clinic that works globally. A practitioner should be able to help you with advice and support for free, you shouldn't have to pay for this kind of support) ****PLEASE start the binder first. Parasites are nothing to play with, as you can see, what they do to autistic people #AlIPraiseToTheMostHigh

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,
