I've been blocked from attending Conservative Party conference. Just a few weeks after Badenoch blasted Reform for doing the same thing... bylinetimes.com/2026/09/30/k...

Kemi Badenoch's Conservatives Block Byline Times From Conference After Condemning Reform for Journalist Ban
The ban comes just weeks after the Conservative leader called Reform's barring of critical journalists from their conference an "authoritarian" attack on the free press

Genuinely surprised that the figure is this low. On what planet do the 31% think we are better off (appreciate I'm bellowing to the kind of people who may vote Reform or Tory).

I am a barrister who once spent time seconded to the CPS serious crimes unit making charging decisions. Today, you can pretend to be one too and work through the decision-making framework in a very serious case. The police have multiple suspects in custody and the phone just rang. 👨 👨 👨 👨 👨 📱 👮‍♀️ 🚨

The Ministry of Defence has not said how long the relaxed vetting policy was in operation but Broadhurst's case indicates that it must have been at least between September 2022 and September 2024 It has now been rescinded and recruits must complete vetting to progress out of basic training

It’s the hotel costs, two nights for two people next week in a Premier Inn at Portmadoc over £400 that’s a joke. We paid tax of over 6% on a stay at an Ibis in Paris in May. Honestly I thought hospitality can’t get staff at the moment.

Daniel Thomas / Danny Tommo has today marched his private army of blackshorts to Daily Mail HQ to demand a new house for his mum within 48 hrs, after they doorstepped her for a feature on him. Apparently he plans to blockade them + cry at them until they do Bet those lads are glad of the balaclavas

The RNLI have some of the best people in Britain volunteering for them. They put their lives on the line when they are called on and they will rescue anyone who needs them. Because every life matters, and offering help is the right thing to do. You can donate here: rnli.org

Reform UK Ltd : "Counter Terror Police won’t let Farage on stage" West Midlands Police : "We can confirm that Counter Terrorism Policing have had no involvement" www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c6...
17:03 4 September

Chris Mason
Political editor

"Counter terror won’t let him on stage yet” a senior Reform figure says, explaining the delay in Nigel Farage’s speech at the Reform UK conference.20:08 4 September

Jack Fenwick
Political correspondent

West Midlands Police say the decision to delay Nigel Farage's conference speech "was made by Reform UK".

A senior Reform figure earlier told the BBC that Farage's speech was delayed because "counter terror won't let him on stage yet".

But West Midlands Police say: "We can confirm that Counter Terrorism Policing have had no involvement in the delivery of the Reform UK Party Conference 2026."
