Extraordinary undercover reporting in Reform by ITV, uncovering what many of its councillors and activists are really like, when they think the cameras are off. A racist party which attracts racist people. www.itv.com/news/2026-10...

In addition to the racism and violent language about the King... Reform would appear to have a misogyny problem too. The party of "protect our women" looks like it needs to start that at home and warning this is offensive stuff. www.itv.com/news/2026-10...
Whelan then discussed another female Reform
candidate in Birmingham, saying that he "would
have been sniffing that seat as soon as she got up.
If she'd have given me a hug I'd have f******
fingered her".The men then go on to discuss a female Reform
candidate from Solihull, using sexist and sexually
aggressive language.


"That's reminded me, I need to buy an orange in a
sock," said Councillor Feeney,


"If she was my daughter, it would still be bath night
on a Thursday. l'l wash you properly this time,"
added Whelan.

OMG, the language, the views - this is beyond parody or exaggeration - scary part is it’s real. Reform are the party of racists, forget this ‘one bad apple’ nonsense from Farage - more like ‘one good apple’ here and there. buff.ly/bUSxI4i

Once again… This is not a vetting problem. This is a Reform problem. This is a Farage problem. Only grim losers like this are going to sign up to a racist, misogynistic, extremist, mass-deportations and tell-the-Royal-Marines-to-murder-people-at-sea kind of party. www.itv.com/news/2026-10...

No wonder Badenoch and Farage are shitting bricks at the suggestion that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum. Their whole business model relies on Brexit and the racist anti- immigration bomb that it detonated. Their next bright idea - to leave the ECHR - would delight Putin too.
Gazette
ECHR withdrawal 'gift to Putin'
By Jonathan Rayner | 22 March 2012

Britain’s withdrawal from the European Convention on Human Rights in favour of a British bill of rights would be Vladimir Putin's
'best present ever', an East European delegate at a Council of Europe event for lawyers told the Gazette last weekend.

The source, who asked not be named, said that Putin, just re-elected as president of Russia, has always said that the Strasbourg court's policing of human rights was ‘meaningless'.
Another unnamed source, a former north European government lawyer, described the UK government's attitude to the Strasbourg court as 'Britain shooting itself in the foot. If the British don't engage with Europe, they'll lose influence and shouldn't be surprised if
Germany and France fill the vacuum?

Russia has been at war with Britain for years and the EU referendum was an open goal which they exploited. That doesn't mean that "Putin made Brexit happen" but his troll farms and media operations certainly played a part Brexiters may hate to hear it but to deny it is to deny a dangerous reality.

Former Labour Deputy Leader Lord Thomas Watson, now Senior VP at Palantir UK, wrote to me defending their public contracts. Instead of trading letters, I’ve challenged him to an open, public debate. He can defend Palantir’s ethos; I’ll argue for public accountability. Will you accept, Tom?
Formal letter from Clive Lewis MP, Member of Parliament for Norwich South, to Lord Thomas Watson of Wyre Forest, Senior Vice President of Palantir Technologies UK Limited, dated 7 October 2026. In the letter, Lewis challenges Watson to a public debate regarding Palantir's role in government contracts and public institutions. Lewis rejects Watson's claim that criticisms malign software engineers, stressing that elected officials must scrutinize corporate power, democratic control, and public accountability. He proposes a debate with an impartial chair, equal time, and audience questions.
