I hate this so much. Farage said this would be immigration week, and here are all the headlines talking immigration, and not positively. Could someone in power, for once, just stand up to this shit 🤬

"Dear Diary The launch of our scheme to use the Royal Navy to stop small boats has gone exactly to plan. It is so patently absurd that it is all anyone can talk about, providing the perfect distraction from all our dodgy financial dealings"

How the hell have journalists allowed Farage and Yusuf to pretend that their Royal Navy idea is a ‘humanitarian’ mission if ‘innocent’ immigrants are taken back to France, but a full-scale war-like ‘invasion’ of ‘illegals’ if coming our way? I mean, seriously. Please don’t be this hopeless…

Immigration is the top concern because it has been persistently hyped into that position. In fact, all the other polled issues have more effect on most people's daily lives. There are still too many Brits who prefer scapegoats to facts.

Immigration continues to be seen as the top concern facing Britain. 4 in 10 (43%) see immigration as an important issue (+4ppts since June) - the highest percentage recorded this year. The economy follows at 30% (-7ppts) 👉 https://tinyurl.com/yn6jeps3

"The convicted criminal who funded Nigel Farage opened an account with an obscure overseas payments company days before it was used to channel an 'unexplained' £500,000 donation to Reform UK. Farage denies breaking any rules." via The Times

Not every immigrant to Europe is a Kylian Mbappe or Bukayo Saka but the vast majority contribute to society - doctors, cleaners, carers, nurses, teachers etc. A truth that I wish more politicians would acknowledge.

Channel 4 News carried out an undercover investigation within the Reform UK campaign in Clacton in the run up to the GE. Warning‼️ horrendous recorded footage includes a Reform UK canvasser openly making racist comments as he represents the party. This is what ReFUK is. youtu.be/JmkMpYbOoO0?...

Surely Burnham should skip the obvious choices for Chancellor and recruit Count Binface. The Count will freeze the price of an ice cream at 99p and cap the price of doner kebabs. What a difference that would really make to the cost of living. Come on Andy, you know it makes sense!

Letting a secretive offshore crypto giant like Tether buy back-door influence in British politics through multi-million-pound donor operations is a massive danger. We must stop allowing politicians to flog our regulatory system to shadowy digital asset firms looking for personal favours. 🛑📉👇

Tether is a giant in crytocurrency, an industry that Nigel Farage believes the UK should be embracing.

Who doesn’t rent their spare room back to themselves to offset tax, keeping it £1 less than the amount which would trigger a required to declaration according to Parliament's reporting standards. Working class hero.

I thought the best person to go on Laura Kuenssberg to defend me against charges of financial irregularity would be Nadhim Zahawi, who claimed £6,000 to heat his stables and hid £27m in an offshore account then threatened to sue anyone who asked about it.

The Clacton by-election stunt is backfiring for Nigel Fauxrage. Instead of preventing further investigation into his & Reform's money-routing it is ensuring it remains front & centre. This could well be where Reform's house of very dodgy cards gets exposed to light & crumbles. Too many grifts!

Reform is starting to look less like a political party and more like an opaque money-routing operation. Farage's sudden by-election stunt in Clacton is just a desperate attempt to distract from the fact that investigators are finally digging into their books. 🛑🧼👇
