From pensioners left bedbound to life savings being spent on dementia care, our system better resembles the 1920s than the 2020s. Andy Burnham must work with local government and the NHS to finally end the social care crisis.
Britain can't wait for an Autumn Budget. The government must drop their red lines, get round the table with our European neighbours to kickstart our economy before it's too late.
Resetting our relationship with Europe is the fastest way to boost growth. It's time to cut red tape, back small businesses, and join the Single Market and Customs Union. @libdemdaisy.bsky.social
Andy Burnham must drop Labour's stifling red lines and forge a new relationship with Europe.
“Reform repaid Tice loan on same day £1mn donated by mother of Farage aide Cottrell” But where did the Cottrells get the money from? ReFUK & Cottrells unwilling to come clean on that one. Only reason I can think of is that it would be incriminating #ReFUKCorruption archive.ph/2026.08.05-1...

The BBC hate us so much that they only had me on Question Time 38 times and have had Zia Yusuf on 8 times in less than two years, despite the fact that nobody even voted for him. Now that's what I call bias.
Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface #VoteyMcVoteface #YesWeTinCan

Spot on ⬇️ "Reform UK remains almost entirely a party of grievance. Rather than offering a vision of a more prosperous, productive or communitarian Britain, it doubles down on punitive proposals." https://national.thelead.uk/p/nigel-farage-end-of-reform-as-we-know-it
It's the end of Reform as we know it
A bad few months for Nigel Farage's insurgent party has shown their true colours

My son was wearing a "Vote Reform" t-shirt and an "I love Nigel" baseball hat. He's been spat at, abused, slapped around the head and told he's a brainless twat. God knows what's going to happen to him once he gets out of the house...
Sarah Pochin, who was born 24 years after the end of World War Two, might want to pick up a history book.
The Nigel Farage Controversies. It’s not just the £5m and Cottrell, his whole career has been scandal ridden.
Yet another poll that has Labour on 27% (+6) ahead of Reform on 25% (-2). Confirming yet again that Reform’s vote share is sliding in the majority of recent polls.

Parliament probes Richard Tice over undeclared Israel link
Richard Tice claimed he's being targeted for standing against antisemitism. No, it's for not declaring an interest in Israel.

"Farage called the Clacton by-election to avoid the investigations into his ‘£5 million gift’ from the crypto billionaire Harborne & other questionable ‘gifts’ ⌛️ From the timeline of events it’s clear that he broke the rules regarding gifts 👨⚖️ He wants Clacton voters to judge him" via Barry Howard
