1/2 Richard Tice fuming because journalists interviewed his own constituents in Boston and Skegness is democratic paranoia at its peak. When an MP treats public scrutiny like an existential attack, what are they actually hiding from voters? 🧵 #ReformUK

Richard Tice fumes at BBC for talking to his constituents and no one can work out why

Richard Tice has accused the BBC of "bias and hate" against him after the broadcaster decided to go to his constituency and talk to people.

More questions over Farage's £5m gift... Daisy Cooper, deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats: “With every new revelation, Reform UK and Nigel Farage look more and more like a bunch of grifters who believe it’s one rule for them and one rule for everyone else."

Farage urged to ‘come clean’ as fresh questions raised over £5 million gift

It casts new doubt on his defence for not declaring a £5 million gift from crypto-billionaire and Reform donor Christoph

JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "

What a repulsive man. I had eye problems. Everything from routine cataract surgery and laser work for retinopathy in both eyes, to a vitrectomy. Some of the surgeons and nurses didn't have flawless English. But as they were busy saving my eyesight, it would have seemed churlish to whine about it...

Here are the stupidest things Kemi Badenoch has said so far today inews.co.uk/opinion/kemi...

I'm glad it's been declined. It's a sadly familiar routine perpetrators trying to use victims to launder their reputation. If someone genuinely wants to make amends they do so quietly and on the victim's terms. They don't trumpet their plans to meet in the media. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I know she's incapable of ever admitting she's wrong about anything, but even I'm surprised that Kemi Badenoch has chosen this particular hill to die on

I don’t understand why some commentators seem to think Badenoch is doing well as leader, when everything I see her do fits exactly this description. Sorry, she just comes across as very stupid

Badenoch represents double-down conservatism. Never apologise or moderate. Insult your opponents. Patronise journalists when challenged. Contradict yourself, lie, whatever it takes, but never back down. And that's how you end up creating an extremely avoidable Tory antisemitism scandal overnight

Well that's a vote of confidence for all Tory councillors.

Look people, JUST because Reform is a dodgy and dishonest outfit - and the owner and his senior cronies are a bunch of skanky miscreants and money-hoarders - doesn't mean you should talk about these embarrassing things willblack-53220.medium.com/stop-asking-...

Stop asking about Farage’s money — it’s not our business!

Joshua Bonehill-Paine Self-styled "nationalist, fascist, theorist and supporter of white rights” who was jailed in 2015 for antisemitic online posts.... Selected as a Tory candidate.

I just can’t believe we’re seeing this sort of stuff from a sitting MP Just want to say to British Somalis that you are loved and I’m so, sorry this is happening.

French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. You’re only diminishing yourself with comments like this.

It's obviously a bit dated now, but this is *still* relevant after all these years.

53,800 of these bad boys are landing in Clacton. Ain’t they beauts? #VoteBinface

He’s Saruman without the intellect and fashion sense.

The UK has existed as a state since 1801. The current borders of the UK have been in place since 1922. Do Reform UK politicians NOT know the basics of UK history?

So Badenoch would recruit a neo-Nazi but *not* someone who didn’t want to leave the ECHR or someone who supported our NetZero commitments. Second chances for this guy but not Dominic Grieve. The Tory party is truly wretched. It’s screwed the country, betrayed its own and lost its tiny mind.

Conservatives challenged for selecting a man who formed a far right group + was jailed for serious antisemitic harassment of former MP Luciana Berger.Badenoch says he has reformed sufficiently to have a local candidacy, but should not have a national platform www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/kemi-b...

The Conservative leader said she would not want to give Joshua Bonehill-Paine “a national platform”.

Reminder that the Tories believe any non-British person who commits more than a minor parking or traffic offence should be automatically deported. They “believe in second chances”, apparently, but only for literal Nazis.

The Righteous Rupert Lowe-Life preached about leaches sucking the financial blood out of Britain. This is the same Whoopert Lowe-Life whose company took £100k in furlough cash despite making £7.9 million profit He really didn’t need it but it was free, it was available so he took it like a leach

Pretending that the Navy taking back migrants would be a humanitarian mission and therefore legal, is a bit like pretending that a £5 million bribe is nothing to do with politics and therefore doesn't need to be declared.

Sarah Porchin.. the face of a woman driven “mad when I see adverts full of black people, full of Asian people" insults the French with a puerile, ignorant comment because they criticize Reforms BS use of Navy against migrants And I imagine probably never tires of squeezing the paws of kittens..
