Fifth time I’ve seen them

Nice to see a Benefits shirt. Saw them again last week, as powerful as ever

It’s not illegal migration that’s tearing the UK apart it’s the hysteria drummed up by the right wing media and populist politicians

I suspect they’ve had feedback from a focus group of Reform voters and shat their pants

It’s pretty clear they’ve abandoned their strategy and are making tactical policy decisions based on what they think they will get hammered least for by the media/Reform. Absolutely spineless

I wonder if anyone at the BBC has the self awareness to realise that they have Farage a soap box for years, and now he wants to destroy them?

I wonder what she’ll say when she finds out that UK government posts on X are appearing right next to some horrible stuff

Is there something similar for the names for the bits of batter* that are sprinkled on the top of the chips?

And he wonders why Labour are haemorrhaging support to the Greens

A bigger issue than the individual politicians is why the Government is still spending UK taxpayers money on content on the X platform. It’s about time the BBC, football clubs and corporations also took a stand on this

This is absolute cowardice by Labour. Time someone explained what “leadership” means and that a continual retreat in the face of Reform and the rump of the Tory Party is going to result in their Dunkirk moment

Meanwhile the government continues to spend taxpayer money funding the X platform
