Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.
Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.
Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

The truth: we need migration.
The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.
Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.
Reject it. Draw the line.

🧵 Farage is whipping up anger against the ECHR with false claims (see thread).
As The Bear brilliantly writes: “The ECHR [is] the foundation that protects you from your own government.”
That's why leaving the ECHR would be a Really Bad Idea.

Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians
The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy

Proportional Representation is about fairness and making sure that who gets elected really reflects what people want.
But it's also about more than that: creating a new kind of political culture where diverse voices can be heard and work together.

The government has been busy making new laws.
Lots of them. Across rail, education, planning, environment, housing...
But most people have not noticed. So, here’s a very handy roundup of progress/changes, including a full list of those new laws and which ones have already had royal assent. 👇

Our grandson is autistic and as wonderful a grandson as you could wish for. He is smart, kind, considerate, helpful, holds down a job, and lives in his own flat. I realise there are different levels of autism, but people just need to be kind and patient with them or any other type of person.
Absolutely amazing that a 10-year-old wrote this!!
