Why would any right wing person vote for this?
If you’re a socialist, I’d understand.

What is Rob so afraid of?
He knows it’s racist. You can see it in the contortions he goes through to avoid saying so.
He once had the courage to stand against discrimination. Now he lacks the backbone to call it out.
A shadow of the politician he once was.
‘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.

Kemi Badenoch: This showman PM is treating the job like reality TV.
Anyone still repeating “14 years” needs to read this. Kemi is a serious politician. Burnham is behaving like a man who’s hit his personal jackpot, rather than a PM for dangerous times.

Reform UK Sunderland have serious issues with their reporting of interests.
The @SunderlandUK Council, led by @CllrChrisEynon of @ReformUkWear needs to urgently investigate what is going on. There’s a large scale Reform UK non-declaration of business interests.
Ciara Hudspith / Chris Eynon - partners and have discrepancy between their ROIs.
Heather Finlay - hasn’t reported a second interest on her ROI (after we identified a first missing one).
David Wales - hasn’t reported an interest on his ROI.
Tommy Steele - failed to declare building company employment, a company that has worked on a major Sunderland project.
Carol Giles - no disclosure of Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (CNTW NHS Trust) employment.
Janis Berzemnieks - non disclosure of his GXO Logistics employment.
Paul Donaghy - claims he is a consultant but doesn’t list any interests on his ROI. His consulting company was dissolved in April, and was not declared. He has had 10 companies struck off due to not submitting documentation.
Failure without reasonable excuse to register a disclosable pecuniary interest is both a Code of Conduct breach and a criminal offence under Section 34 of the Localism Act 2011.
There’s then the case of Glen Gibbins, who said Nigerians should be melted down to fill potholes. He is still a councillor.
There’s also David Laing, still a Reform UK Sunderland councillor despite him refusing to confirm whether he stood for the BNP twice (in 2006 & 7).
Sunderland Reform UK is a shambles.

BREAKING: Robert Jenrick defects to Labour, citing a lifelong admiration for its economic policies and a sudden, overwhelming sense of ideological alignment.
Sources close to him strongly deny that the move has anything to do with Reform plummeting in the polls.

This is John Simpson's house. He works as a churchwarden. He told @rowenamason he bought a company with multi-million contracts of telecom infra in Iran just to wind it down. Don't be like John.
EXCL: Nigel Farage’s newest billionaire donor was in business with a powerful Iranian religious foundation under the authority of the country’s supreme leader, raising questions about his past dealings with the hardline republic.
Hossein Ghandehari, also called Sasan, was little known in the UK until he pledged to give millions to Reform UK this summer and donated £50,000 to Farage to cover the cost of two passes for the Davos World Economic Forum.
Cracking story from @rowenamason

It’s very clearly racist. Raheem Kassam is trying to imply a British person isn’t really British. And Robert Jenrick, as with Danny Kruger on Thursday, has to choose whether to condemn Farage’s mate’s racism or condone it. And they’ve both picked their side.

Raheem Kassam destroyed on LBC for his open racism against Kemi Badenoch.
The guy is a clown!
Replying to @LBC
‘Look, everything’s racist nowadays!’
Nigel Farage’s former adviser @RaheemKassam defends calling Kemi Badenoch a ‘Nigerian scammer’.

If you are still taking Reform seriously, then you are not serious. If @Nigel_Farage can’t take Nigel Farage seriously, why should you? Reform can’t be trusted on the ECONOMy, and they know it.

You know Farage lied about the £450,000 from Arron Banks as well?
MPs must declare gifts or benefits over £300 if they are received in their capacity as a parliamentarian, or if there is a political purpose behind them = Digital Assets and Finance Bill - Las Vegas 10% CGT.

Won’t be long now before we see the backlash against Trump at the mid-terms. He ain’t going to take it well at all and will lash out in bizarre and unhinged ways.
Farage, his mini-me, will try and distance himself and claim he barely knows him.
Let’s make sure we remind folk.

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped.

Our govt is totally unready.
