Reform UK's Councillor @McIvorJaymey, #Ongar and Head of Local Government has just been called out in full Essex Council for sending photos of his private parts to people and not paying back his bounceback loan.
Reform UK's 'vetting' process takes a battering too.

The absurdity of JD Vance coming to Europe to lecture us on the death of free speech is laid bare. The Trump appointed head of Federal Communications Commission threatens ABC’s licence over his mild Kirk comments and Kimmel is gone. Free speech? Pah. cnbc.com/2025/09/17/charlie-…

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. yahoo.com/news/articles/let-…

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

Reform’s laughable claim to be the party of the working class was well & truly blown out of the water last night. Farage and his MPs trooped through the voting lobbies hand in hand with the Tories *12 times* , seeking to to block our ground-breaking bill.

The BBC is coming under fresh pressure over its coverage of Reform UK after a university study found it featured in a quarter of News at Ten bulletins over six months thenational.scot/news/254613…

Reform featuring in a quarter of all BBC News at Ten bulletins - considerably more than the Lib Dems, who have 18 times as many MPs, and far too often policy is unscrutinised, according to an authoritative new study. Something’s gone badly wrong at the BBC theguardian.com/media/2025/s…

Farage wants to privatise the NHS, he always has.
Can we retweet this video 10,000 times so everyone can see it?

This is the radicalised mass base of Reform and the Tories - wearing our country's flag as a badge of white identity. Learn the lessons of the 1930s - to defeat them needs a militant democracy, radical change and a narrative of hope ✊🚩

Last year Nigel Farage said: "I've just exchanged contracts on the house.. I've bought a house in Clacton, what more do you want me to do?"
It turns out he was lying. He hadn't. The house was bought by his long term partner #GMB

Paul Nowak(TUC): "Are Nigel Farage & Richard Tice just right wing con men lining their own pockets... Robert Jenrick is a xenophobe, an opportunistic xenophobe,hoping to create a political climate that ends up with far right thugs laying siege to hotels..."

Nigel Farage told me this morning that a Reform government would use the UK fleet to drive small boats back to France, in breach of France’s sovereign territorial waters, as a last resort. Farage: “If it came to it, we would do it.” When I put to him this would be the equivalent of declaring war on our nearest neighbour he laughed
.@Nigel_Farage tells @Peston he would pass legislation in order to 'stop the boats within two weeks'
But is that realistic? itv.com/news/2025-09-06/fara…

Some excellent moves in this reshuffle .Peter Kyle, Douglas Alexander, Steve Reed and Shabana Mahmood will all bring energy and focus. Lammy a shrewd holding move as Deputy PM. And Cooper could prosper at the Foreign Office. Better than deckchairs on the Titanic despite Rayner.

Do you agree that @Nigel_Farage should resign❓
"Yes" or "No"
"Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on £400,000 GB News earnings. Poor attendance record in parliament.
Has used a trust fund in an offshore tax haven.
Previously described people who try to avoid tax as the “common enemy”. - @premnsikka

Nigel Farage talks about massive cuts he will make to the Welfare Budget, if you are a pensioner, a disabled person who can't work, or just happen to end up unemployed he is talking about you.
He will see you on the streets.

‘I'm very clear-eyed about this Nigel Farage guy. He means no good for your society.'
Democrat Congressman @RepRaskin tells @SophyRidgeSky US is not in a position to lecture the UK on free speech, after his questioning of the Reform UK leader went viral
