That £900k house in Frinton. Has anyone mentioned how it was paid for yet? Any laws broken, or all above board?

Anyone investigating? Media grown a conscience? Any journalist working for the British people? Anyone?

Half way through another week of silence then.

Yet more troubles in Reformland

Local government is not proving to be the cinch that Nigel Farage’s party assumed it to be

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

If people are looking for a change in our broken political system, then they can’t run and hide behind the sofa as soon as a politician is brave enough to propose such a change

“The witches of Essex” was on TV last night. How little we have evolved. The queen’s throne was at risk, as a diversion her ministers blamed witches and spread a propaganda fuelled outrage across the country. Poor people accused their neighbours of witchcraft. Is Farage our witch finder general?

But God forbid the super rich should pay for it, many of them pushed for Brexit to protect their wealth from EU social improvement projects. No squeeze it from the rest of us again! Put another bucket under the leak, don’t fix it

Oh yes 😊

Steve Mortlock @stevemortlock.bsky.social · 9h

But if Labour, Libdems, Greens etc push pro EU policies they will have the backing of the majority of voters. It would also make the disastrous Brexit a key battleground. Farage would not want that. Tactical voting could then keep out Reform & Tories

I may be wrong Mike, but I think people are ready now. They can see Labour struggling to resuscitate the economy and CU/SM would be such a boost. Also Liberals won 70 odd seats at the election, that doesn’t happen often.

This is what Elon Musk looked like before he took hormones, had a hair transplant and plastic surgery.

All stuff that he wants banned for Trans people.

Zack Polanski: Can the Green Party leader ‘rebalance the scales’ of UK politics? | The News Agents

In little more than a month of leadership, Zack Polanski has grown the party’s membership and become a powerful figure on the left-wing of UK politics. Can he, and the Green Party, take this further…

Honestly forgotten just how angry that smirking diseased scarecrow still makes me. Kneecapped the nation with Brexit, to get a job he refused to do, and got thousands killed. All while laughing at us.

“Disgraced Former” should be an officially recognised title, with sanctions and prison time.
