EXCLUSIVE Reform MP Sarah Pochin asked a question about the impact second homes have on rural areas, just 48 hours before buying a £800k second home in Wales… willhaywardwales.substack.com/p/reform-mp-...

Reform UK MP buys £800k Welsh second home just days after questioning their impact
Is this a case of politicians saying ‘do as I say, not as I do’?

The world is in a massive amount of debt. A level of debt that is unsustainable. America has the worst debt, some $40 trillion. Worse still it has absolutely zero to show for it.

All that #Braverman, #Jenrick, #Farage and the rest of #Reform can do is slag off Britain. They offer no hope whatsoever. Just division and hatred. #bbcqt

The longer this ‘show’ from #Braverman goes on then the more unelectable both her and Reform become. She is the very reason why British politicians are so disliked. Not a positive word to say about Britain. I stand behind Andy Burnham. #bbcqt

How has #Braverman remained a politician? She is useless. I’ll wager if she hadn’t moved to Deform the Tories would have sacked and deselected her. So dishonest, I wouldn’t trust her one iota. She presided, for over 14yrs, of the shit we are in. #bbcqt

The Burnham speech: firstly, it was a vision. We've not had a national vision for two decades at least. If he can persuade the country on fixing the EU relationship, political reform, establishing a new care system and his theory of growth holds then he will be a transformational Prime Minister.

I'm 63, I haven't heard a speech that inspiring, by a UK politician, in my lifetime, - ever! The last 30yrs I've been a floating voter but, #AndyBurnham I'm standing behind you, lead on. #LabourPartyConference

I'm guessing after this barn storming speech by #Burnham, clearly stating 'Brexit has done more harm than good', that hopefully, #Farage along with all the other 'flat-earthers' will fall off the edge! #LabourPartyConference

Farage - "We will call a National Emergency, ALL House of Commons recesses will be cancelled, Parliament will sit as long as it takes". Checks notes - 'Farage has registered 'absent' from the last 77 votes in Parliament', and that was before May 2026. Frigging spare me. Get him out.

Just listening to #Farage speaking at the #Reform conference. 10mins in and he just sounds - well, spent. It all sounds such old BS. The country has moved on. Reform is old hat. His cabinet is just all the reject politicians from the Tories. Safe to say I think Farage is never going to be PM.

So have I got this right, #Farage has been caught by an undercover reporter, on tape accepting illegal foreign donations......... But there is nothing to see here? Jeepers - what and who, as a country, have we become? If true he should be arrested and jailed. Kick #Reform out of British politics.

Farage’s ludicrous minions selling what’s left of their souls for coins, while either not knowing or caring that their boss secretly trousered five million for his ‘personal use’. He makes absolute twats of everyone who trusts him. And this James Orr character is supposed to be some sort of genius…

Parnas: I've spoken to numerous military families... Our service members abroad are having moldy showers, are not getting detergent, not getting soap. Some haven't had a fresh meal in months. Prisoners in America get better meal rations than these troops are getting right now in the Middle East.

James Cleverly needs to remember the Tories closed 12,500 prison places over 14 years (2010 - 2024). (Labour have built 2500 in two yrs) When will the Tories learn and accept responsibility for the damage done to public services and this country. #PMQs
