Wow, Google has withdrawn its support from factchecking organisation @fullfact.org

It’s been one of the largest funders but now has cut its financial support.

I’m pretty sure this is so misinformation can run rife.

You can support them by donation

Fact is, this rabble rousing racist & traitor will still be in this country, living in one of his shadily funded houses, free to walk the streets, spreading his vile brand of fascism.

With his financial connections to Russia which the media refuses to address.

Farage:

'The fact is, in 18 months, this violent criminal will be in this country, living in a hotel, free to walk the streets.'

Isn't it the fact that he would be deported as a foreign criminal sentenced to more than 1 yr in jail - under Labour's 2007 Borders Act?

Ignorance on Farage's part?🤔

You make a good point TeeDixie, but Clarkson's whining is baseless, just more self promotion.

Most UK private health insurance schemes exclude emergency treatment anyway because the principle reason for going private is to jump queues and emergencies are treated urgently in the NHS.

What’s that Jeremy? Your private healthcare couldn’t save your life but the NHS could?

People need to think long and hard about voting for Reform, Farage openly says we need insurance based healthcare, but what about people who can’t afford it?

They die. It’s simple.

Everything is going to be destroyed and it is all so the billionaires can be trillionaires and you can be slaves.

The entire establishment needs to be demolished, not slightly changed, not improved a little bit.

Destroyed so that the people now in power have no power at all.

The GOP are not smart They’re just bolder in their hate and greed. They are willing to go scorched earth to reap every monetary benefit they can in this moment with the knowledge that as Caucasian people in Amerikkka with money, they aren’t likely to be punished. January 6, proved that for them.

Be clear

Farage/Reform want to remove rights for women

1. Its manifesto states ‘to repeal the equalities act’

2. Remove us from the european convention on human rights which protects women

3. Remove us from the UN charter for human rights which protects women.

NO WOMAN should support them‼️

Nigel Farage went to Dulwich College which when he attended was more expensive than Eton

He earns £1.5m a year, 92% of which comes from dodgy donations

His girlfriend pays £885,000 in cash to buy houses but she's a waitress.

He's not a 'working man' he's very rich and corrupt

Laura Kuenssberg has interviewed all the Party Leaders with more than 10% in the polls.

Except Zack Polanski.

She cancelled his interview and now refuses to do it.

They are scared of Zack, they are scared of you.
