An ugly glimpse into Reform copying Trump’s bully’s tactics..
Sarah Porchin who loses her sh*t if ppl of colour appear in TV ads wanted to gate crash’s student debating society, they said no, so Reform threaten to defund the Uni if they get in 🥴

This is pretty menacing.
Sarah Pochin wrote to Bangor's university student run debating society requesting that she attend to "answer questions from students."
When they said "no" Reform rolled all it's tanks onto the lawns and said they'll cut funding to the entire university if they win.

Your council tax going up and your council services getting worse is not your local council's fault. Central government funding has been slashed so their overall money has plummeted. They're just offloading the outrage on to local officials.

It's not just the decision to give public money and public data to a sworn enemy of everything we stand for, appalling though that is. It's also the secrecy and illegal shutting out of any competition. What does Palantir have on Streeting and Starmer - and did Mandelson give it to them?
