For a long time I've heard rumours of Reform UK supporting Islamophobes who warn of dangers of Sharia law happily holidaying and buying flats in Dubai which runs under Sharia law If true, they should be forced to wear a T-shirt proclaiming 'I'm a far right hypocrite' meme via We Demand UK

As long as the Tories are threatening to leave the ECHR, they aren’t a serious party. Consider it the ultimate red flag. Any party who’d take this entirely unnecessary and ruinous risk with our rights and our country’s security and wellbeing should never get its hands on power. (Letter, Times)
Value of the
ECHR
Sir, In dangerous times, serious countries do not retreat into splendid isolation. They build alliances, multiply their influence and strengthen institutions. Key among those is the 46-member Council of Europe, at its heart the European Convention on Human Rights.As former independent reviewers of terrorism legislation we have seen at close quarters that the ECHR is not just a human rights instrument. It is a national security asset. Terrorist networks, hostile states, organised crime gangs and people smugglers do not respect borders. Tackling them requires arrangements for the closest possible co-operation with our neighbours, including through joint investigations and police access to European passenger, fingerprint, DNA and vehicle data.These arrangements expressly depend on internationally agreed human rights standards, applied by a supranational court. We detect no political willingness to excuse the UK from compliance with standards to which the rest of Europe already subscribes. As authoritarian powers grow more aggressive and democratic institutions face mounting pressure, Britain should not be abandoning one of its greatest postwar achievements.
The question is not whether we can afford to remain within the ECHR. It is whether, in an increasingly perilous world, we can afford not to.
Lord Carlile of Berriew, Lord Anderson of Ipswich, Sir Max Hill

“We’ll build 50,000 new prison places” say the Tories. They ensured only 500 places in 14 years. Sounds like the 40 new hospital BS we got from them. Anyone know how many hospitals were built in the end?

Despite our Media consistently turning a blind eye to all of ReformUK’s scandals (as they waffle hysterically about Burnham & Manchester City) Perhaps people have noticed that Reform Councillors rarely stick around to do the job. They’re suspended, they resign, they become independents etc

"Flooding the zone" with this stuff might be in order.
Post from Mark R Elias 

"I think I'm getting the hang of this."

Mark's question to America.gov

Does the president have the authority over the conduct of federal elections,?

Answer:
The Constitution does not give the president the power to run or set the rules for federal elections. States have the main job if administering them. Congress can change most of those rules by statue. The president's role is to enforce existing federal law, not to replace state or congressional election rules.

If the UAE is really threatening billions over Manchester City, that’s exactly the kind of political influence that demands scrutiny. When wealth and power get special access, ordinary people deserve accountability.
