Reform UK, which says it represents “change” from Conservative failures, has so far accepted defections from: - A disgraced Tory minister sacked for tax-dodging - Disgraced Tory vice chairman suspended for racism - Disgraced former minister suspended for abandoning constituents for a reality TV gig

The narrative about London crime is truly so BORING to Londoners. Those of us who walk & travel around our city safely every day, every night. The likeliest daily risk to Londoners is of being ripped off by our landlord or somewhere charging us £4.50 for a coffee. #r4today

Almost all of this Venezuela report seems to be factually correct, but #R4Today is going with the Trump assumption that the US can remove Maduro, and that's OK. And then they discard the fact bit.

I know the Tory party is a rancid rotting carcass of a party but, Christ, surely we’re all beyond sick of them now. This lot won’t get back into power but they can’t even manage to be a responsible opposition. They’re just so grimly dismal, racist and thick. They reek of inadequacy. Just go TF away.
