I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

Proud to support a Party who are making serious inroads into child poverty. Who gave us Hillsborough Law. Who protect the rights of renters and workers. Who help families with childcare and who are raising the Minimum wage yet again.
They’re worried about Starmer. He’s a winner

I wonder whether he’ll also boycott LBC if/when I ask exactly the same question about him…
Nigel Farage has gone to war with the BBC after a radio presenter suggested he had “a relationship when he was younger with Hitler,” vowing he would not speak to the national broadcaster until it apologized for its own past “racist” content.

Think we’ll all go with the OBR official, rather than you and your unprofessional biased nonsense.
Feel free to issue an apology and have a bit of a think. Maybe about the years of barely scrutinised *Tory* policies that got us into this mess.

And he called out a lot of people for their divisive &isolationist views calling it "utterly reckless".
He included who pushed for & delivered Brexit.
Those who now call for us to leave the ECHR.
But he also included some of you reading this, & rightly so!
