Reform candidate visibly squirms as he's confronted by a local family in Caerphilly.

Best for Britain @bestforbritain.org · 8h

👏 "We've lived here all our lives. And I have never felt so unwelcome in my own hometown as I do since your party came into Caerphilly."

"With all the rhetoric that you bring in, I have to say to my sons, please don't go there. Please don't do this."

"I blame you for that."

🔴 NEW - At the same time that Nathan Gill was taking Russian bribes, the British far-right was travelling regularly to Moscow.

Paul Golding even met “Vladimir Putin”…

What’s that Jeremy? Your private healthcare couldn’t save your life but the NHS could?

People need to think long and hard about voting for Reform, Farage openly says we need insurance based healthcare, but what about people who can’t afford it?

They die. It’s simple.

Overseas care workers are the backbone of the care community, without them the home care system would fail, but some idiots think that it’s more important to have flags waving from every lamppost than it is to have carers.

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

Nigel Farage should tell the people of #Caerphilly about how he wants to abolish the Senedd.

Actually, no need, we have a video of him saying it.

(Also about how Fox Hunting turns him on).

It was a bit of a labour of love, emptying out the jars into zip lock bags, putting the jars through the dishwasher and then re-labelling refilling the jars once I was sure they were absolutely dry!

Red sky at night from a Somerset perspective just means the Devon Cornwall Cream Tea war has flared up again.

You’ll never catch Trump trying to sort a peace deal on this one, Gaza was a piece of piss by comparison.
