This is how Nigel Farage gets twisted.👇👇👇
Kemi Badenoch is weaponising a ♦️HYPOTHETICAL♦️ answer Nigel Farage gave on the Benny Johnson Show.
Listen to what he actually says -"I'd have gone in and said..."
That's past tense. That's
♦️if he were in Starmer's shoes.♦️
As in - if YOU are going to give the Chagos away, at least get something back for Britain.
He was talking about what he would have said TO TRUMP if he had to deal with this mess Labour created:
"Right mate, Chagos it's yours. Diego Garcia, most important US base in the world, in perpetuity, it's guaranteed. In return, tell your friend Milei to stop talking about the Falkland Islands."
It's not a plan to give them away in future!
He is AGAINST giving sovereignty to Mauritius - he said that himself yesterday. He would offer the use of the base to America forever, not the ownership to Mauritius.
One is giving away British territory and PAYING £90m a year for 99 years to lease it back - that's Starmer.
The other is saying if it's being surrendered anyway, make Trump protect the Falklands.
Big difference. Stop twisting it,❗

It’s been CONFIRMED by the Met Police that of the 26 arrests reported by the media only 8 were attributed to UTK British Patriots! 18 arrests were counter protest agitators!

🇬🇧 @reformparty_uk UK's leader @Nigel_Farage The People’s right to call for Referendums. Similar to the Swiss🇨🇭system of semi-#DirectDemocracy in which The People, not Parties, can call for Referendums on important issues. youtu.be/OwTNG1pzXOI?si=Uvkp…

So , are you in favour of more referendums?

Where were the referendums on The Amsterdam, Lisbon and Nice treaties Femi? Also more fundamentally, where was the UK referendum on The Maastricht Treaty itself? I'll await your response.

Replying to @NealOKelly
No need to wait.
Any major EU treaty change would have needed another UK referendum, so unlike Leavers, Remainers voted for something fixed in stone.
(The UK 2011 EU Act made that a requirement before the UK government could agree to any more transfers of power to the EU level)

We need to hold REFERENDUMS in the UK on all subjects, just like they do in Switzerland
... then you'll hear the democratic voice of the MAJORITY, instead of the shouty voice of the minority

As I was saying earlier - #ThePeople the boss. Ask the ppl @HouseofCommons before making major decisions on their behalf plz. Use more referendums.
@RoyalFamily represents #ThePeople - therefore, plz ensure our politicians (law makers) know this.

What’s the point of Referendums. When the vote doesn’t go the way some people want they want another. Pointless.

🙋🏽 Referendums in the world over the past century:
1. Referendums proliferated in 1990
2. Many more initiated by legislatures/executives than by citizens
3. Parallel pace of growth in discretionary and obligatory referendums

No consequences for the mess generations will struggle. Ruled as though they are gods - never once asked #ThePeople input. Now someone else to take the wheel to carry on. It's #mental.
*This is why #Referendums should be used more. So when leaders retire, they earned it.

#AprilFools!
The #Swiss might take punctuality very seriously, but of course there's not really a #referendum on fining people for lateness.
However #directdemocracy and referendums are an important part of #Switzerland's political system.

Should we have more #referendums? What youou think?@juneslater17 @TheTexianDM ? You'd want to read the new @Palgrave book #ReferendumsAroundTheWorld (with all nationwide #votes ever!) before you answer & you'll be surprised by the results...& maybe delighted @DeanRoss34 Please RT
'Referendums Around the World', edited by @drqvortrup, offers an exhaustive and global account of referendums to date and proves to be a timely reference work for interested readers in the wake of the recent referendums. bit.ly/4eeJWF7
