Rememer this when you vote. It's not what Reform say that matters, but what they intend to do (which could be much worse). Their only concern is to get elected. Thereafter, they will do as they choose.

Why do Farage and Reform their own channel promoting them and paying them enormous media salaries? GB News should be listed as a political donation at the very least but Ofcom and the Electoral Commission are toothless.

Good to see the arguments for staying out of the EU are increasingly abstract. These people would rather be driven into a ditch by Russia than take part in a proven beneficial union with 'bladdy foreigners'. But you shouldn't call them idiots #bbcqt

Badenoch's position on Russian interference in the Brexit vote is a patriotic disgrace really. Her view seems to be that because she approves of the outcome of the referendum, no-one can mention that there was very likely to have been foreign interference in it.

Badenoch tells PMQs "all of the gas" from Jackdaw "goes into the British grid". This is misleading - the grid is connected to Europe, so once gas goes into the "British grid" it's often sold abroad And anyway, it would only produce 2-6% of UK gas output at peak. Bald men fighting over a dirty comb.

For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?

If you believe this, I have a bridge to sell you. The prime directive of the Conservative Party is to get and hold power. The idea that it would risk throwing away the opportunity merely because it involved an albeit uncomfortable arrangement with another right-wing party is clearly for the birds.

As long as the Tories are threatening to leave the ECHR, they aren’t a serious party. Consider it the ultimate red flag. Any party who’d take this entirely unnecessary and ruinous risk with our rights and our country’s security and wellbeing should never get its hands on power. (Letter, Times)

Value of the
ECHR
Sir, In dangerous times, serious countries do not retreat into splendid isolation. They build alliances, multiply their influence and strengthen institutions. Key among those is the 46-member Council of Europe, at its heart the European Convention on Human Rights.

As former independent reviewers of terrorism legislation we have seen at close quarters that the ECHR is not just a human rights instrument. It is a national security asset. Terrorist networks, hostile states, organised crime gangs and people smugglers do not respect borders. Tackling them requires arrangements for the closest possible co-operation with our neighbours, including through joint investigations and police access to European passenger, fingerprint, DNA and vehicle data.
