Farage and Reform despise the characteristics that make a civilised society. The RNLI have a mission to save lives irrespective of who the person is, their background & where they are from. The RNLI saved enemy forces in the seas around the UK in WW1 & WW2 but such humanitarianism is beyond Farage.

(🧵|🚨) BREAKING: *Three years* ago PROOF ran a long, well-sourced report confirming that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu *knew* from Middle Eastern “grand bargain” co-conspirators that the October 7 attack was coming before it came—and let Israelis die for political gain. Now Haaretz has confirmed it.

Maybe the rules are just dandy Nige... maybe the problem lies with someone else
Farage says Reform UK's bank
account has suspended several
times, claiming this shows money
laundering rules too strict
Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, has
revealed that his party's bank account has
been frozen several times.


In an interview with the BBC's political
editor, Chris Mason, Farage said this was
evidence Britain has become a
"complainant society' where too much
time is spent in investigating unfounded
allegations.


Farage was responding to a question
about why - as the Sunday Times revealed
in July - Reform UK had its bank account
frozen for two weeks ahead of the 2024
general election over concerns about
potentially illegal donations.

Trump says his tariffs will help US workers, but he may actually be putting them out of a job. Not only do tariffs make it harder for American companies to source products, but retaliation from our trading partners (like Canada) will shrink export markets. In a trade war, there are no winners.

Sadly The Labour Party policies reduced GP access, they haven’t listen to GPs about how to improve it, imposed a contract that wouldn’t work & left patients with little choice They are still lying to the public, seeing more general practice appts is not better access to GPs
