Nigel Farage says small businesses have been betrayed by Brexit’s red tape, but the betrayal is his. He promised freedom from bureaucracy, yet delivered border chaos, higher costs and endless paperwork. The small firms that trusted him are now trapped in the system he built.

Oddly enough despite the ‘toxicity’ alleged in Downing Street, Labour continue to deliver time and again every single day. These 11 are all announcements from this week.

Donald Trump is coming for the BBC and for your wallets.
I urged the Prime Minister to stand up for the 23.8 million licence fee paying households, and tell Trump he won't get a penny.

The Justice Secretary and Deputy PM has today given a statement in the Commons on prison releases in error.
This clip sets out the facts surrounding the relase in error last week, what was know at PMQs.
It's import to listen to, as I'm certain the media will be selective in what they say.

Never forget that the only country in NATO history which triggered NATO article 5 is USA after a bunch of Arab terrorists took down some buildings in New York.
Now when Europe is in existential threat by former Soviets, the USA is throwing us bones and expecting gratitude.
EU need to step up.

Reform UK Leicestershire are crooks.
They announced consultants Newton would do a £1.4m savings review.
That’s ballooned to £30m in 6 just days.
Leader Dan Harrison is a con man.
Leicestershire you’ve been had.

The reason Labour are polling so badly is because from the very Start of their tenure the scum right wing Media were after Starmer and we've had over a year of negative reporting and press blackouts.

🇬🇧 Look around Reform voters — this is Britain:
12.9 million pensioners
1.9 million on minimum wage
8 million on Universal Credit
2.2 million too sick to work
4.2 million on health-related benefits
Reform aren’t fighting for “the people” — they’re coming for you.

Minimum wage is £10 or £12.21 an hour.
How much does Farage get paid an hour?
he declared £40,075.37 for 10 hours. So just over £4k an hour. Quite probably more.
He is not on your side.

He has no plan on how to make any of his promises happen & no idea if anything he says is even possible
