Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP.

And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.

Hmmm... So Kent County Council is being run by someone residents didn't elect who may or may not live in Clacton ?

Linden Kemkaran and the other KCC ReformUK councillors are being treated as puppets who are simply there to do Farage's bidding.

My message to the millions of One Nation conservatives who reject the divisive politics of Badenoch and Farage is this:

Come and join us. Help us save our country. Come and win with us.

The Conservative party has given up being the party of law and order.

Huh ? So they think sentencing policy being determined by culture war obsessed racist and prejudiced politicians like Jenrick in charge is a better solution ?

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Presumably she just made that up, in the same way as she made up the 'fact' that Northern Ireland 'voted for brexit'

MarkSpeaking 🔶#LibDem #CheshamAndAmersham @markspeaking.bsky.social · Oct 5

Surely this will also enable police to stop the asylum hotel protests just as much as Palestinian ones ?? Why are she and journalists not pointing this out? How does banning those protests protect synagogues?

Keir Starmer wants to force everyone to have a digital ID.

But the Liberal Democrats say that’s not the kind of country we should be. Instead, the government should focus on fixing real problems like the NHS and social care.

I’m old enough to remember when Conservative Party leaders believed in law and order.

Kemi Badenoch refusing to acknowledge that Tommy Robinson is "far-right", now on LBC, and refusing to condemn Elon Musk's words. In fact she says what Musk said *isn't* incitement. So what would be incitement then? How violent would his words have to be before he was deemed a threat to this country?

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

The horrors in Gaza must stop.

And when the one man with the power to make it stop – Donald Trump – arrives in the UK today, Keir Starmer must do all he can to make the President act.
