If it’s not Reform’s Sarah Pochin on #Newsnight, it’s Reform’s Richard Tice on #Peston Two fifths of their Party are currently being afforded more media coverage than the entire Lib Dem & Green Party combined

The UK needs to rejoin the European Union - which is far and away more important to us than Trump’s USA.

40 years ago a horrific fire at Bradford City's Valley Parade ground claimed the lives of 56 people. It took less than four minutes for a small fire to become a raging inferno. Warnings had been ignored. When people complain about red tape and health and safety gone mad, remember

We were shown the entire uncensored video of this incident when I did my fire brigade basic training over 30 years ago. Absolutely horrific. These people died from corporate negligence. ...And people still go on about 'health and safety gone mad.'
On this day in 1985, 56 football fans never returned from Valley Parade. Sadly this doesn't get noticed. #RIP56

Analysis of the English local elections by Sir John Curtice: “support for Reform averaged 43% in wards where more than half of adults have few, if any, educational qualifications. In contrast, it polled just 19% where more than two in five have a degree.”

An absolute masterclass in how the UK media platforms and normalises far right politics. This is how Farage wins.

This story - from the book ‘BazBall’ - about Ben Stokes reaching out to Josh Baker after he hit him for 34 in an over is so special 😢

If you got a #Reform Leaflet and it's convinced you to vote for them, give yourself a sarcastic pat on the back. The £2,000,000 Mailshot Campaign was paid for by foreign millionare donors, who have convinced gullible fools like you to vote in *their* interests, not yours.

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption. I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents. 1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.

In 2010, Tony Blair was paid £41,000 a month and 2% commission by PetroSaudi to lobby for the oil company. In 2018, he advised the oil-rich Saudi government for millions of pounds. His vested interests are in fossil fuels. We shouldn't take his net-zero criticisms seriously.

Unbelievable! Tice is on Newsnight again. The BBC platform Reform practically on a daily basis. Tice or Farage are never off their political programs. Meanwhile you’ll wait for weeks before you see a LibDem MP. 70 + MPs and the BBC treat them like a total irrelevance.Piss poor.
