Ed Davey told the Commons in July what Reform activists were saying on doorsteps. Tonight, we saw ITV went undercover and got Reform councillors and candidates on tape.

A Media Sovereignty Act to keep non-UK based billionaires out of British media control could be just what we need. 👇

Could this be the beginning of the end for the billionaire-owned media propaganda blitz?
A campaign to free our national press from foreign billionaires like Rupert Murdoch is gaining momentum and attracting big-name support

Thomson Reuters, which owns news agency Reuters, has signed a $125M deal giving ICE access to its databases of personal data. USA Today has partnered with Palantir to gain "actionable intelligence" on its audiences. The media should be opponents of Trump's police state — not collaborators.

Please do not embarrass Farage by reposting his 'Happy Birthday Mr President' tweet. Be careful not to draw attention to the fact that he's holding a bottle of Trump wine, it would make him look like a fawning sycophant, and we wouldn't want to do that ... would we?

I think we should be doing as much talking about the economic destabilization that Epstein & Co. were doing as we are about the child sex trafficking. Because, those men plotted a new world order of racial and economic exploitation and then raped children as a treat

The numbers tell the story.
A tweet from Paul (@SkylineReport) reads:
“ICE dragged the country through a full-blown panic just to spit out 16 cases. Sixteen. That’s a joke, a wet firecracker, an insult to everyone they terrorised.
Meanwhile Trump has shoved thousands of actual criminals back onto the streets with his clown-car pardons. Forget 16. His body count of offenders not behind bars anymore is in the thousands.”
He’s quote-tweeting CBS News (@CBSNews), which wrote:
“Only 16 of over 600 detained by ICE in Chicago area have criminal histories, records show.”

Same. Aside from the noise, the environmental impact of fireworks is immense. This is before and after the NYE fireworks in Germany, showing the rise in fine particulate matter that causes breathing issues, particular in those with conditions such as asthma or COPD.
Two maps of Germany showing low concentration of fine particulate matter on 29 Dec across the country. The second map shows high to extremely high concentrations on 1st January, particularly in the south of the country and in high population density areas.
