A supposedly grassroots anti-migrant movement led by 'ordinary' women, which is backed by Reform and Conservative politicians and is regularly invited onto TV to promote their views, is funded by a far-right group and has platformed a Neo-Nazi activist https://t.co/B1nrU34pjD

Please watch this from Angela Haggerty She explains how politicians don't have any experience of using the benefit system Then she explains how difficult it is to get benefits in detail At the end the Reform UK person then objects, asking why there are so many more sick people

This is an astoundingly stupid article UK & the world are in crisis. The establishment parties are crashing & burning. Farage is on the march Meanwhile @ZackPolanski is giving realistic hope to millions who have felt hopeless @MarinaHyde drips with arrogant liberal disdain

Nigel Farage won't apologise for his history of racism because "if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too,'" a Reform source tells the Times. So essentially he was a racist and he believes his supporters are racists too

Britain if boomers couldn’t vote
Great piece from @bbclaurak, for too many young people - both grads & non grads - the social contract simply doesn’t work & traditional mainstream parties are wrong to just assume they’ll return when they “grow up” unless the system starts to work for them https://t.co/0EqdiElpBU

The biggest scandal no one knows about is just how many community assets were privatised by stealth during the Osborne years. Generational community assets flogged off to international private equity firms like Blackstone and KKR. Now they're gone forever.

Do we live in a country where these awful people got their way at almost every major decision point of the century so far? We do! Is it good? No, it is a national calamity. Are they sorry? No they’re not, they’re *absolutely furious* that they haven’t got more and worse.

Important new research from @Invest_Britain. If the UK had invested at the same rate as the average OECD country over the last 30 years it would have invested £550bn more. This is the root cause of our decline.
Ramping up public investment is the best route out of the UK’s productivity crisis. Our new report finds increasing public investment by an additional 2% of GDP per year would kickstart growth, raise average earnings, and strengthen the public finances. https://t.co/0uVbFj0czj

When left wing people say it is right wing it is because the director was a conservative and constantly platforms Reform but rarely left wing politicians. When right wing people say it is left wing it is because there are mixed race families in shows
