Apparently the new narrative from Reform is that the polls are just the establishment trying to control the “massive” surge of support for them. Well polls are just polls, but I know, because I go out to listen to the public regularly, their support has dropped dramatically.

So it’s all about the money. Billionaires don’t give vast sums of money for no reason, if they get what they want out of a future government it will be chicken feed compared to the money they will make of the back of it.

It’s not a funny joke that’s certain, but Im sure Farage and local boy, Sir Geoffrey Cox (who has earned a mere £1million since returning to Parliament) are having a good chuckle at your expense.

I would like to add my voice to the literally hundreds of millions of people ( figures fact checked by social media) who are glad Farage has come through that terrible ordeal of a by-election. He can now return to Parliament and we can all get back to normal…… So about that £5 million ?

It’s time for governments to stop putting their fingers in their ears and pretending this can all go away, or pretend it will be someone else’s problem. We need to fix social care now, and I really hope, Andy Burnham will do, just that. If he does, he will have our full support.

Imagine if the standards committee actually came out of hiding and produced the much delayed report on the inquiry on MP’s second jobs. Limiting MP’s to only limited work in professions that required some work hours to maintain there professional qualifications. What would Farage do then?

Today there wss a debate in Parliament to ban ALL MPs’ second jobs. Nigel Farage didn’t show up to defend any of his - including the latest one, raking in £22,500 an hour to promote a gold dealer. The gravy train must end. Watch the debate below.

When I first became an MP, there were 500,000 children on mental health waiting lists. Now there's a million. Mental health should be treated as seriously as physical health. We need urgent action from the government to ensure no child is left on a waiting list for years.

Andy Burnham has a very short window to turn this government around. The country is impatient for change. People have heard fine words before only to be let down badly because nothing really changes. We can’t afford more of the same.

This is what Reform do, they take a story and weaponise it for their own fan base/cult. It is a simple medical fact that black men are twice as likely to to get prostrate cancer, so they should be encouraged to be tested more. Something he would easily have known. But hate makes a better headline.
