This shouldn't be difficult. @RaheemKassam is a poisonous, nasty piece of work. He shouldn't be within one hundred miles of a mainstream political party.

‘Is calling Kemi Badenoch a “Nigerian scammer” racist, yes or no?’ ‘…I’m not on your show to talk about what a journalist has tweeted.’ Reform's Robert Jenrick refuses to engage with @Lewis_Goodall's question about Raheem Kassam's comments on the Tory leader.

In November 2025 she confronted GB News journalists outside court the last time Robinson was on trial. She tried "to ask them about actually why they’re bothering to report when they won’t let Tommy on their channel" express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-rad…

I used an anonymous email account to send Stamp an enticing message, suggesting I had contact with a lawyer acting for some else he's suing. (I don't). Smart people don't click random links. Stamp is not very smart.

Truss didn't discover this terrible and civilisation threatening phenomenon until after she had left the office of the Prime Minister and was looking for things to do and an audience to applaud her

Too many on the Right are naive about the nature of the left. The Left is being dragged towards Islamo-communism. They are a threat to our country.

They didn’t ‘investigate.’ They commited criminals acts. Forged documents and violated a veteran. They will very likely serve prison sentences. I hope they think it was worth it.

The King-Smith family were surprised to find this article in yesterday's @MetroUK We are delighted that adorable piglet Tom has been rescued, however, whilst we love E.B White's excellent tale Charlotte's Web, Babe was based on Dick King-Smith's The Sheep-Pig. Back to journalism school for you, dear author!
