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.

Spot on! When cuts are made by Reform & their voters realise their bins aren’t being collected as often, their kids school transport isn’t being subsidised & everything looks a mess-then they might realise what they voted for! Local Gov has no power over immigration policies!

Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.

But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

So Tommy Ten-Names' defence is he was doing a journalism...🤔

I wonder who loaned him the silver Bentley and why he was carrying £15,000 in cash for his trip to Benidorm.

The Shoreline Management Plan sets out which of Norfolk's coastal communities will be defended and which will be surrendered to the sea. Few realise what that really means.

Now he needs to be asked why he denied it. He needs to be put under pressure. Reformand reform members finances need to be scrutinised.

Farage's finances and connections should be investigated right back to when he was an MEP voting against EU resolution to stop Russian election meddling in 2019.

Fraudulent Farage is untouchable.

We have to make sure every story is aired about that charlatan. Everything from marching with the National Front, to Russian connections to more dodgy dealings and strange earnings.

He needs to be demolished before the locals and general election.

Let's make sure everyone knows about the activities that senior Reform members have gotten up to.

These are not people we can trust to run out country.

Make sure people never forget!
