Reform UK's Laila Cunningham, "There's such a focus on Nigel Farage from the press and a complete lack of focus on any other party or leader" Victoria Derbyshire, "That's not true, but go on, carry on" Laila Cunningham laughs, "We can debate that another time"

That's 4 years before Nigel Farage completely contradicted himself He's so desperate to move the conversation from £5 million undeclared bribe how soon before he U-turns within a month, week, day ... "The problem is we always keep receipts… " via Reform Are Not Your Friends

It looks like Reform has some sort of “Migrant Crisis Response Team” now, led by Zia Yusuf of all people. I can’t imagine what they’re trying to achieve though - in general the man has all the skill and wherewithal of a wet sock and is practically about as useful as a crochet condom. Dire.

The funniest - and least discussed - aspect of this is that Farage, having reportedly told RefUK he'd only lead them if compensated for the £1m a year income he had outside politics, pocketed their five million, then kept earning from outside interests at the same rate anyway. He scammed even them.

Important, because Farage's defence for not declaring Harborne's £5m 'gift' has always been very specific: he did not decide to stand until 3rd of June. Turns out this deal was struck mid-May (confirmed by RefUK) and facilitated by Farage's other big donor, convicted felon 'Posh' George Cotrell. 🧐

Nigel Farage's father was a very rich stockbroker; he's privately educated, billionaire funded, travels by private jet cares far more about his 5 homes & 13 jobs than helping constituents in Clacton which includes Jaywick, named the most deprived neighbourhood in England for 4th time since 2010

Reform UK are learning that anti-worker, anti-women, anti-disabled people, cut taxes for the rich, more oil pollution, get rid of NHS policies are not popular, so as polls tumble their tactic is to shout 'Stop The Boats' (which Reform UK created) even LOUDER and hope no-one fact-checks their lies!!!

By doing this so publicly Lowe is kindly showing us how to sausage of bigotry in power is made. Newish party steals small but signifiant percentage of more established party’s vote share and uses this as leverage to get their extreme policies and rhetoric adopted and normalised.

Rupert Lowe pitches a deal from Restore to Farage's Reform. His conditions are full adoption of Restore's policies on mass deportations" including "millions must go" slogan on legal migrants + his policies on Islam + a referendum on death penalty + the ditching of Rupert Jenrick & Suella Braverman

Reform voters could blame the abysmal Manchester result on - stories of Nigel Farage corruption - stories of Reform councilors resigning - stories of Reform council U-turns & broken promises But they won't Because most pro-Reform posters are bots! meme via Post Cummings Effect

There has been little mention of the 72 people who drowned or were crushed trying to reach Ceuta last week. A shocking figure that's been eclipsed by right wing press fear mongering. The incident and how it started is now coming under welcome scrutiny www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
