There is overwhelming desperation in the Mail to keep immiration as a divisive issue...... The grief that dare not speak its name in a transformed Britain dailymail.com/debate/article… via @DailyMail

This is extraordinary - and worrying - from the UK’s top general.

Obviously some really unacceptable comments in the ITV story this evening, and it's worth saying that Reform HQ have already taken action where it's needed, investigating and removing people where their comments simply are not compatible with our values. Sometimes people can make legitimate points but phrase them wrong, and on some issues people are genuinely angry about the state of the country and they say things that are crass. That happens. However, it's also true that some comments are just abhorrent and unwelcome, and in those cases Reform has acted swiftly through disciplinary processes. There's no room for those things in our party. Whilst we continue to develop an increasingly robust vetting process, nobody can vet people for things that they might say in the future. A handful of individuals have slipped through the net, and that's a huge shame because it damages us all. However, as someone who works with our senior councillors every day I want to say that our party is filled with outstanding and dedicated people who are determined to fix our country and their communities. We can't let the tiny minority of bad derail all of the good, or let it deter us from that mission. It's also worth saying that, whilst accepting that some of these comments are totally unacceptable, the practice of a journalist lying their way in to people's trust, securing a job with the party with lies and dodgy documents, and secretly filming people with a view to publicly humiliating them is also abhorrent. I've never seen ITV or anyone else stoop to that level against any other party or organisation. It is not fair and surely cannot be legal to obtain those positions of trust by deception, for this purpose. I sincerely hope that some action is taken on that front. This cannot become an acceptable journalistic practice. Tomorrow I'm on the road meeting Councillors from the South West, supporting them to deliver key local objectives and helping them represent their residents to the best of their ability. That's the focus, and it's important to not lose sight of the fact that across the country Reform-run Councils are delivering major savings, lower taxes and better services for local people. That's why I'm doing this, and that's why so many of our councillors are working so hard every day. We carry on.

I have arrived in Bucharest, Romania where my hotel balcony tempts me to give a rousing speech to the adoring crowds below. Hurrah‼️

Two of my uncles died flying planes in WWII. Such disrespect for their sacrifices and those of countless others and their loved ones. Unforgivable.

There is no black history or white history, there is just history and we should try and frame things in a way that unites Britain, rather than dividing.

A Restore Britain Government will end all third world immigration, legal and illegal, into our country.

Islam, as practiced by millions of Muslims in Britain, is entirely incompatible with our British way of life.

Nobody should lose their livelihood or be prevented from earning a living because they have opinions someone else might find uncomfortable. @SpeechUnion I should be able to go to work, pay rent and put food on the table - regardless of my lawful political opinions
