Going to say it again. It's significant how senior Reform members are now seeking to move the debate from one focussed on migration to one focussed more specifically on race. And an attempt to justify and rationalise what, by any objective definition, is overt racism.

BBC News spent Sunday referring to Jim Ratcliffe as one of Britain's richest men, except, he's an immigrant in Monaco, having moved there to avoid paying £4 billion in tax.
They screen him complaining about those on benefits, even though he grew up in a council house, went to state school, had free university education, and has taken hundreds of millions in public state support from the UK, French and German governments.
They screen him talking about broken Britain which is poor, but don't mention that he is a Brexiter, and Brexit has made the country poorer.
Our national broadcaster should have spent the day providing context to his criticisms, instead they wrapped it in a bow, pushed it out, to stoke further division in society.
I remember when the BBC was so much better than this, and I hope one day it will return to having better standards, than to simply churn out divisive nonsense masquerading as news and analysis.

Americans who adore Trump would adore Farage and Lowe if they lived here. The reverse is also true. Thoughts to make you feel ill!

🚨David McLennan is Reform UK's first elected councillor in Scotland. He won a by-election in Whitburn last week.
He claims to be a retired police officer, but David actually left the force after being charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice, we reveal tonight.

Richard spoke to me for my book, The Real Nigel Farage.
He describes a bully, cruel, cunning and nasty.
Read it.
Replying to @NickBuckleyMBE
I worked with Farage from 1999-2003 when he was first elected as an MEP, sharing an office with him in Strasbourg. I stayed at his home, travelled with him, dined and entertained when we were in Europe, and worked with him in the UK.
Outwardly charming, he is in fact a vindictive, aggressive bully, with a huge chip on his shoulder. He is intolerant of criticism, has no loyalty to anyone, and will shaft anyone who disagrees with him, gets in his way or poses a threat (usually by underhand means, via third parties).
I am not surprised, therefore, that you have come to your view. Most people who have been close to Farage feel the same way and would not trust him in the slightest. Many more will come to the same conclusion, and eventually the Farage bubble will burst. I hope it does so before he does even more damage.

To return to the argument about whether Labour or Reform are ahead, or level pegging, in the polls. With today's Ipsos Poll giving Labour a 4 point lead, of the last 21 polls Labour has led in 18, and the other 3 have been ties. This may change. But for now Labour clearly lead.

The silent, decent majority are back.
We have had enough of the billionaire backed fuckwitted far right goons. We’ve had enough of the balaclaved thugs terrorising our neighbourhoods. The grifting domestic abusers pretending they care about our women. The politicians backed by Russia, Israel and other foreign entities who avoid tax and secrete funny money in their bulging bank accounts while the rest of us struggle on.
It’s over. We have rejected you. Now fuck off.

Not sure I can remember a time when the prevailing narrative has been so divorced from the political reality. The next election is almost certainly going to produce a Lab/Lib government or a majority Labour government. Every available statistic and precedent points to it.

I’ve come to the conclusion that you will never convince a Restore Britain supporter that they can’t win the next election, sorry but they are too deluded and know nothing about politics and how it works so I won’t be engaging them anymore. All they do it for is clicks and likes, don’t feed them.
RESTORE NOTHING!

So on the polls, can we just clear this up once and for all. The Electoral Reform Society average has Labour on 26.3%, Reform on 24.3%. Politico has Labour on 24% Reform on 22%. Electoral Calculus has Labour on 25.4% Reform on 23.8%. PollCheck has Labour on 25.6%, Reform on 23.6%. Reform are not "ahead in the polls". The polls are not "tied'. Labour are currently ahead in the polls. That's just a fact.

Tice apologises for failing to declare a foreign visit. Reform Welsh leader steps down over accusations of assault and coercive behaviour. Endless scandal about money. This is the reality of far right parties. Always their own interests and business not that of the public. It is Trumpism and the last thing we need

Sadiq Khan has done more for this country than Rupert Lowe has, or ever will. Khan has consistently stood up for the British values of freedom of religion and identity this nation holds. I congratulate him on his ascension to the House of Lords.

Mackenzie describes our Unions as a bunch of thugs.
It’s almost as bad as what he described Liverpool fans as after the Hillsborough tragedy.
He’s vile!

Richard Tice referred to Trade Unions as "Labour's paymasters". Unions represent working people. Who do crypto-billionaires represent?
