Politico: "Reform UK will hold its third press conference in three days at 10 am. Head of policy Zia Yusuf and welfare spokesperson Lee Anderson will pledge £32 billion of cuts to disability benefit PIP"

34 Deform UK Ltd councillors have now quit, been sacked or stripped of the whip since May's local elections.

The “party of the people” can’t even manage itself, collapsing under its own contradictions.

What a weird world it is when Christians don't like Christ being quoted back to them, and Republicans don't want to hear the wisdom of Ronald Reagan.
