Text in image:
“So we have actual fact checkers who know all the facts?  
Why not create a TV channel where they just give us the facts?  
We could call it the News.

Can you imagine the derisory coverage and outright mockery if any other party with single-digit MPs decided to "declare a General Election" and go on a bus tour? Yet when this outlandish nonsense comes from Farage, it is treated as somehow brilliant. "Subscribe to continue..." No thanks. I'm good.

A second Brexit referendum is a truly stupid idea. Straight to rejoin. No fucking about. There’s no logical argument, economic or otherwise, for not rejoining. The British electorate has proven that they don’t have a clue and are easily duped by disinformation campaigns and foreign interference.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

Reform is the richest party in Britain. Its leaders are almost all millionaires. It is funded almost exclusively by billionaires. It has a supportive TV station and widespread media backing. So naturally, this donation comes with the usual attack on "elites". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I wrote about how politicians need (PLEASE) to stop using the phrase ‘legitimate concerns about immigration’, particularly when responsible to far-right riots. www.lbc.co.uk/article/legi...

Britain does not have an immigration problem, it has a nuance problem writes Natasha Devon | LBC
By endlessly repeating that people’s anxieties are ‘legitimate’, politicians are giving credence to the far-right’s propaganda and inadvertently stoking the tensions they were designed to rile up.
