Almost 10,000 likes for straight-up lies by Annunziata Rees-Mogg, quote:
"Asylum seekers make up 0.08% of Dorset's population and 44% of alleged sex offences. So unbelievable I had to check. It's true."
It's not true, it's utter garbage.
I'll go through facts and figures. /1

Taxpayers to pay up to £35k for new vote after Rochford Reform councillor resigns days after election

The Conservative party’s “Alternative King’s Speech” claims unemployment has risen “every month” that Labour have been in government.
We’ve fact checked this claim several times over the past year—it isn’t correct.

What an evil and dangerous (and completely false) thing for a Vice President of the United States to say. How dare he.

EXCLUSIVE - Today the Guardian is publishing the Boris Files - a trove of leaked data from the office of Boris Johnson.
It reveals how Johnson is using the relationships forged in the UK’s highest elected office to facilitate his personal enrichment.

We can't afford our welfare bill?
Maybe it's because millionaires like @Nigel_Farage keep dodging their Tax!
RT if you agree!
“We can't afford to have the ballooning welfare bill that we've got.”
We’ve got a million people now in work who'll be better off not working. This is not a formula for a successful country, says Leader of Reform UK @Nigel_Farage.

You already know that Nigel Farage makes bank from his appearances on GBeebies, while using it as a firehose for his dangerous drivel.
But did you know that he’s also a SHAREHOLDER?
You only have until tomorrow to tell Ofcom what you think about that!

PIP fraud in FY ending 2025 was 0.4% the year before was 0.0%
1 in 6 PIP claimants are working, 37% of UC claimants are also in work.
The economy won’t grow by pushing more disabled people into poverty.

I'm Eileen Laubacher. A retired Rear Admiral and the Democrat running against Lauren Boebert.
I know what sacrifice means and service looks like. Boebert doesn’t have a clue.
Can you help me get to 20k followers to show her we can do this?!

I'm having a real quick look into the guy @Nigel_Farage has employed to head up their 'British DOGE'.
TL;DR — crypto shenanigans all over the shop and Reform, employing an online Magnum PI.
At least the name is funny — British DOGE 😂. If that doesn't tickle you, nothing will.
True to form, Farage has copy/pasted from MAGA.
They've even got their own little Musk; complete with non-suit and ball cap, sitting around the big table looking a bit lost.
His name is Nathaniel Fried. Yep, Fried not Friend. @nattyfried
He's the head of a company called OSINT Industries, a kind of online Private Investigator.
OSINT stands for Open Source Intelligence — using public information for intelligence purposes.
The very first thing you see, on visiting his website, is a banner stating that they can investigate ANY email address or ANY phone number. Pretty dark sounding, right?
Do the residents of @Kent_cc know that they are now being, potentially, investigated by this guy?
It goes on to say that they support 5,000 law enforcement agencies. Worldwide, no less.
Pretty impressive for a company that has no declared accounts on Companies House. Zero.
They have multiple case studies on their website, including one where they, apparently, trained Brazilian Law Enforcement Officers in OSINT. There's even a blurry, faces-concealed photo to 'prove' it.
What it actually seems to be is a selection of other people's case studies, passed off as their own. I could be wrong, but I'll wait.
They offer a selection of monthly packages that gives users … well, I'm not actually sure. I've been in IT for 30 years, but when you head to the sign-up page, it goes straight to crypto stuff, and I'm lost.

On his 𝕏 profile, it also says he's the founder and CEO of 0xbow.io. Once again, I'm slightly lost in the tech of this, but from what I can gather, it's more crypto stuff.
It says it deals with the DeFi [crypto] sector's privacy needs.
In essence, it is a crypto payment platform.
How strange since Farage announced, only last week, that @reformparty_uk were now accepting crypto donations.
⛳️RED FLAG 2⛳️
Oxbo.io is registered in Texas, according to their website.
I got swarmed by crypto bros last week for suggesting that Reform were using crypto to hide donations from abroad. Now, here we are, with their latest employee, a CEO of a US based crypto platform.
So tell me again, how this is transparent? You can't.
This all took me about an hour to find and research. I guess the usual journos will be all over this*?
We wait and see if the residents of Kent will be made aware of this potential, monumental breach of their privacy, but I doubt it.
Reform 2025 Ltd. appears to have hijacked a local council and brought in a young crypto bro and Arron Banks to run the show.
Legal? Unclear.
Ethical? No chance.
*of course they won't.

Now Reform say they want to scrap the two-child benefit cap…
They could have voted for that in July, so why didn’t they? Policy for them is a matter of convenience not conviction.
Don’t be fooled by Reform. They’ll say almost anything - if they think you want to hear it.
Garthy retweeted
The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform.
This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.
Another record year for the Green Party 👏
859 Councillors on 170 Councils in England & Wales

No sooner have I debunked one set of headlines about refugees, along comes another one….🙄
Let’s do a quick fact check on this one so you can choose to be angry (if that’s your thing!) from a place of knowledge rather than media-driven emotional outrage👍🏼

Tax the super-rich and multinational corporations.
Scrap the disability benefit cuts and the two child limit.
End austerity.
Put money in people’s pockets.
Work together to build a fairer, healthier, and more equal society.
This is the programme we need. [3/3]

The leadership needs to end its obsession with chasing the far-right on immigration, which only bolsters Reform.
Instead, we must tackle the real causes of falling living standards and broken public services like austerity, de-industrialisation, and climate vandalism. [2/3]

Labour losing Runcorn was avoidable and as much a result of our party’s failures as Reform’s rise.
Now, we need to learn the right lessons, not double down on the same mistakes.
Cutting disability benefits and scrapping the Winter Fuel Allowance made voters abandon us. [1/3]

Okay, red state poors, why do you continue to vote for the people who are stealing your money and making you poorer?

Corporate welfare
Since 2002 UK govt gave £22bn subsidy to businesses/households using biomass to generate energy; £6.5bn to Drax.
Drax total £10bn for 2015 to 2026; made £1.06bn operating profit in 2024
Gifts for corporations, austerity/cuts for people
