Sophy Ridge, "The biggest ever donation to a single political party, to Reform UK" "ยฃ9,000,000" Anyone care to guess what the donor expects in return?

2006: 1 GP for every 1,843 people 2025: 1 GP for every 2,482 people The problem isn't the NHS, it's the shortage of GPs which neither the Conservatives hired nor Labour today are hiring, even though we have thousands of unemployed GPs

Global capitalist oligarchs buying democracy. Itโs happened in the US and itโs happening here. Unregulated capitalism is what they want - thatโs not what a democracy should allow - it exacerbates inequality and it will wreck OUR planet. Itโs why they bought the #Brexit vote.

โStarmer Urged To Use Brexit To Beat Farage Amid Reform's Surge In The PollsโฆLabourโs biggest problem is not that itโs haemorrhaging votes to Reform. Itโs haemorrhaging votes to the left, to the Greens and the Lib Dems, who are avowedly Remain parties.โ https://t.co/L5Wn9kmfpS

The prime minister has started to publicly bash the UK's EU exit in recent weeks.

A handy reminder that in 2019 Farage did a deal to put Boris Johnson in No10 and push through his disastrous Brexit deal. But instead of taking responsibility, of course Farage plays the victim.
A false story in the FT tonight claims Reform would do a deal with the Tories. After 14 years of dishonesty & lies they should never be forgiven. The idea Iโd work with them is ludicrous. They betrayed my trust in 2019 & we will ensure they cease to be a national party in May.

Reform is reporting ยฃ331 million in savings across the councils it runs, but Private Eyeโs Rotten Boroughs writer Saba Salman says the claims are complete guff. In Kent, the partyโs flagship council, supposed tens of millions in savings include cutting councillor allowances

Why is the Prime Minister ignoring his own Chief Economic Advisor, who recommended a Customs Union with the EU to boost growth? Instead he's choosing to hike taxes in a cost of living crisis.

Although Starmer is now more openly critical of Brexit, he is still couching it in terms of it being implemented badly, rather than inherently unworkable. This is a gift to Reform, and makes it clear that Labour's position on Brexit is shifting at the speed of continental drift.
"The idea that leaving the EU was the answer to all our cares and concerns has clearly been proved wrong." Sir Keir Starmer says that "wild promises were made" about Brexit. He adds: "The same argument is now being made about the European Convention on Human Rights"

David Davis famously said there would be no downsides to Brexit only considerable upsides - so we started recording them.

The Brexit vote was absolutely ๐ง๐จ๐ญ "fair and democratic"๐ It excluded many of the 1.2 million UK citizens most affected by losing rights - us living in the EU - who can vote again now, but ๐ง๐จ๐ญ for Brexit - why ? Our vote would definitely have swung it the other way

Masks shouldโve never left healthcare. They are essential to patient care. Masks (FFP3s & above) are scientifically proven - way before 2020 - to protect against a load of diseases. Why should anyone risk getting infected with ANY preventable disease while seeking medical care?
๐ช๐ธSpain may bring back indoor face mask rules as flu and COVID cases surge. Health leaders will meet on Dec 3 to decide whether masks should be required in hospitals, health centers, and possibly other crowded indoor venues like cinemas or theatres to help reduce transmission.
