Well, we really need to consistently refer to it as Reform Ltd as it’s basically a private company & part of their actual name. Also a Persuasion U.K. survey shows linking their corporate interests is one of the most effective attack lines. Also it’ll rattle them. #StopFascism

What messages might Reform be vulnerable to?

Reform candidate visibly squirms as he's confronted by a local family in Caerphilly.

👏 "We've lived here all our lives. And I have never felt so unwelcome in my own hometown as I do since your party came into Caerphilly."

"With all the rhetoric that you bring in, I have to say to my sons, please don't go there. Please don't do this."

"I blame you for that."

He's stacked everything full of fascists or enablers though. It will take you years to sort out this mess plus nobody trusts you anymore.

On the same day that a poll shows the Green Party in front of the Labour Party for the first time - it's time to take on Reform too.

I hope you'll have good candidates for the Senedd election next year. Reform are pouring time and money into South Wales. Even the bookies think they'll do well which is abhorrent.

It's creeping up on us all. Tell all that Reform is just like Trump.

To all you patriots (and UK authorities)

Is this not political interference of the most egregious and socially divisive kind?

My comment was Welsh and it's very different from Gaelic. Cornish is similar as is Breton. I haven't a clue about their alphabet sounds, that's the key. Long may they survive!

They should all march down to Caerphilly then to make sure Reform doesn't get in. Cymru rydd.

It's pretty bonkers that the British press would bring up Jeremy Corbyn appearing on Russia Today a couple of times in the early 2000s at every opportunity, yet the Welsh leader of Reform literally pled guilty to taking money directly from the Kremlin and... Farage gets to shrug it away.

Now we have firm evidence that a senior Reform member and close ally of Nigel Farage Nathan Gill,was working for the Russians is it not necessary for our democracy to reopen the Russian inquiry and fully investigate the interference in our domestic policy by a hostile state?

Exactly.

Otto English @ottoenglish.bsky.social · 2d

Brexit is Farage and his fellow Brexiters' shitstorm to own. He/they can't be allowed to just pivot from heckle to heckle and bad idea to worse - while blaming everyone else - without consequences.

So the suggestion that Labour are going to amplify that truth is to be welcomed.
