Reform Political Advertising @reformpoliticalads.bsky.social · 16/06/2026
🧵 Ahead of the 10th anniversary of the Brexit referendum vote on June 23rd, we’re sharing 10 misleading Brexit ads over 10 days. The third: Channel 4 reported that this ad was a "dark ad" targeted to a specific audience on Facebook which made it hard for journalists to track at the time.

Quite a few people are asking why Angela Rayner didn't just put a call into the head of HMRC. That would be wildly improper in 2025. However it was absolutely the done thing in 1925 A completely tangential thread:

It says a lot about where we're going that the BBC is now running stories in which they ask lifeboat crews whether they will apologise for using their boats to save lives

President Pushes to Strip Citizenship From American for Criticizing Him One reason we’re in that situation—not the only reason, but a significant contributor—is because of figures who proclaimed a national speech crisis when people they consider lesser talked back to them. I’ll never get over that

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Labour announcing their plan for community centres which will include medical services (dignostic, mental health, dentistry, etc) and link up with debt, employment and other services. Absolutely huge. What are the media talking about? The Chancellor was a bit teary.

1. Take a situation that has challenges - pretend it's a huge crisis (trade deficit, immigration); 2. Use it as a pretext to massively deploy executive power in a way previously constrained by laws and norms; 3. When anyone complains yell, THERE'S A CRISIS AND YOU'RE WHINING ABOUT LAWS & NORMS?!?

So, when Starmer said two hospitals in Badenoch's constituency are getting new scanners, she said there was only one hospital in her constituency. I've checked and there are three main ones, plus community centres. Did she forget about boundary changes?

Telegraph's front page story is based on idiotic and/or deliberately malicious analysis. ONLY £12bn out of annual £90b UC goes to households with foreign-born residents, so the real story is that "foreigners" are 25% LESS LIKELY to claim universal credit than British-born British citizens.

What George doesn't understand is that in the UK, we decided in 2020 that 'governing' was actually a tedious distraction from 'speculating about, and positioning for, the next general election'. It's core to our culture and it is *very* disrespectful to criticise it.

I have to say I think Labour are making a mistake in constantly holding press conferences which just invites the media to quote Nigel Farage in articles. They would do better to promote the more universally welcomed policies that Farage isn't interested in.

Because ridiculously rich people are used to getting mostly what they want without having to accept responsibility. They simply can't understand why entire countries can't do the same, and so are the last people who should inform policy.

So, if you found yourself in one of the councils taken over by Reform UK this month, it appears you have little to worry about. The calibre of their councillors is clearly top notch, even though it doesn't look like they could pass the new government English language test for migrants.

Of course, the reality is that wind power generated in the UK feeds directly into the National Grid. Oil and gas from the North Sea is sold on the international market where we pay the same as everyone else for it. This is why energy from fossil fuels costs more in the UK than energy from wind.
