Farage - 'I've been advised not to hold surgeries for security reasons' - He hadn't. Farage - 'There was an arson attack on my home' - It was an attempted burglary Farage - 'My phone was hacked by Russia' - No report made to the relevant authority. Could there be a pattern here...🤔

This is a failure of journalism, on a really basic level, but it is also a failure of political leadership. It was going to fall simply in the basis of what the previous govt did. But Starmer somehow conspired to actively spread the impression it was rising.

The blatant #BBC bias is as bad as any private media organisation. They see Reform as newsworthy, attention grabbing and appealing to their key demographic (old people waiting to die), so throw any observance of impartiality out the door. Wankers. #bbcnews

Just been to vote. Polling station in a local pub and was empty, just me and my wife. Not sure if that's good or bad. The good news is that we both voted to protect the NHS, local services, SEND services, local care services, local transport and just as importantly keep the fascist grifters out.

As leader of the Brexit Party Farage is directly responsible for the utter shit show we have suffered since the referendum. Renaming your party ReformUK will not erase that fact. Farage was, is and always will be the Brexit Party.

If you return unwanted Reform local election leaflets to their party headquarters using their free post address, then it will cost the party £2.50 per envelope. Please don’t share this information; it could cost Nigel Farage a fortune.
