When a local councillor resigns it typically costs taxpayers between £18,000 and £35,000 to fund the resulting standalone by-election. Unprepared clowns getting in on a free Farage pass with little or no effort are costing us money. Don’t vote Reform..

“Reform will end ‘something for nothing’ Britain.” - Nigel Farage. He receives £98,599 a year as an MP, yet for more than three months this year he didn't cast a single parliamentary vote or make a single written contribution or speech in Parliament either. But yes, let’s shout at poor people

Here is the PM talking to us after yesterday's COBRA meeting and before the press conference on the Middle East. So good to have a sensible, intelligent, grown up PM during this crisis, after years of terrible PMs. The thought of any other current party leader dealing with this really scares me.

The damage they’ve done and the way they carry on about mandates you’d think they won the referendum by 70/30 or something instead of it being just a bit more than a draw.
