Either write off 'people in poorer health .. more likely to vote Reform UK' as stupid - and settle to a landslide fascist Farage victory

Or find better ways to let them know Reform wants to dismantle the NHS, in effect culling the poor, sick & disabled

ALSO. Badenoch claims China was unequivocally classed as a threat in 2021 review and by MI5 in 2022. So can she please explain why the Chinese Nuclear Group was still involved with the Hinkley nuclear power plant project a full two years later - nine months even after Cash and Berry were arrested? 🤨

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

The government says it is “driving forward private finance efforts for Gaza's reconstruction.”

As if enabling a genocide wasn't enough. Now, they are allowing private companies to make some money out of it as well.

Have they no shame?
