Reform sinking in the opinion polls.. Even the activists starting to walk away.. Looks a lot like Tory Party Conference

This is somewhere between deeply irresponsible and a lie. HMRC will be able to "seize money" from people who owe tax, aren't disputing it, but just fail to pay. That's people who cause the rest of us to pay more tax.

Under Labour, HMRC will reach into your bank account and seize your money. Under Reform, you’ll get a £30 rebate if HMRC leave you stuck on the phone for 30 mins.

You meet people like this all the time in politics. Products of their echo chambers, sneering at anyone who doesn’t share their po-faced, joyless view of the world. The PM went on a show that many people love, it was fun and it raised money for a cancer charity. Good for him.

'Is that a really good use of his time?' 'Raising money for a cancer charity?' The Green Party's @floschechter brands Andy Burnham going on Gogglebox as 'ridiculous'.

No, @elonmusk, the U.S. stopped funding Ukraine last year. In fact, U.S. companies make money on American weapons for which we Europeans pay. The more you meddle in our politics and the more you play politics with your products, the more you damage your brand.

And some of that US taxpayer money comes back through multiple laundry machines to fund political campaigns in America, which is why you see some politicians caring more about Ukraine than America!

Solar panels on land we desperately need for food sustainability is utterly ridiculous.. I hope we see a shift in this very soon

President Putin is a murderer. His soldiers use rape as a weapon. He has launched wars costing thousands of lives. His agents have stolen children and destroyed families. Russia today is what President Reagan correctly called it: the evil empire.

And here you have it. What’s the problem with the police investigating journalists. So what if they’ve done nothing wrong. Literally the argument from a banana republic or Stalin’s Russia.

@EssexPROct 21
So, why are lefty journalists and commentators angry at Reform UK for reporting ITV to the police ? If they’ve done nothing wrong, they’ll be cleared right? There’s some SERIOUS allegations , why wouldn’t you not want them investigated?…

As I predicted. Reform get caught bang to rights. Is their response to hold up their hands? Nope. It's to dial 999 and send the police after the journalists who dared to expose them.

Wrote for @LabourList on why I think it’s time to put tariffs on Chinese EVs to protect the UK automotive manufacturing base TLDR: our industry is being eaten alive by state subsidised cheap Chinese EVs, and we should act with our EU friends

In 1994, Ukraine gave up the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal on America’s word. This month, the president traded that word for a diesel deal with Putin. Watch what he does for Putin. It shows what he wants to do with his power over you. 👇🏼

Rubio: The war in Ukraine is about one region, Donetsk. Russia occupies all but about 11% of it. Ukraine's line there is its last defensible one: beyond it, a straight shot into Kyiv. Russia demands all of Donetsk, including that line, as its definition of victory. 1/

Hillary Clinton
@HillaryClintonOct 19
Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine, hampering the country's defenses during a devastating Russian attack; and Trump waived sanctions on Russia that Congress, led by his late friend Lindsey Graham, had pushed for. Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China. We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.
