Hilarious. So Reform want the chap who was actually Tory home office minister and presided over the complete fiasco on our borders to be their latest recruit. Reform are just failed Tories.

In Gaza, as winter draws in, families are facing appalling conditions with heavy rainfall & temperatures dropping. We need to get vital aid in now. That's why the UK will match every donation made to DEC Middle East appeal, up to the value of £3 million. Link to donate ⬇️

Apparently it takes the average person 18 months to become involved within their community once they move to a new area. #CareLeavers often have many moves within that timeframe, making it near impossible to have a settled life, impacting #CareExperienced people into adulthood

This is the wrong decision for passengers. The Rail Minister has urged @railandroad to reconsider. We need one organisation to run the railway, not 17. The Railways Bill, in Parliament next week, will ensure problems like these are eliminated. https://t.co/qf6JAW4UHJ

I’m very pleased that Jonathan Gullis has joined Reform – we need more conviction politicians with strongly held principles. In other news, here he is explaining why there is absolutely no chance he would ever defect to Reform.

Watching all the brickbats being thrown to pull this Govt off course shows quite how desperate the MSM and opposition are that they do not succeed in reducing the inequality in this Country. I don’t agree with everything but they are on balance the best chance this Country has.
