When you look at Reform and the Conservatives: the personalities, the politics, and the polling all point to a prolonged fight | @BethRigby analysis

@ToryWipeout @iamhamesh Because we punish genuine mistakes more than deliberate, convoluted, avoidance. It's a British thing, clearly.

Tice dodging tax was dropped from the media suspiciously quickly.

He does love a good stunt doesn’t he ? Ooooo get me I led my little band of MPS out of the chamber (Ps to avoid being in there for a statement on Russian funding of Farage UK I suspect

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage asks Keir Starmer to admit his "Smash the Gangs" slogan has been an "abject failure" Starmer: "He promised lower tax and now Reform councils are hiking council tax by 9%" Farage and other Reform MPs then walk out the chamber #PMQs

@millie_the_minx @iamhamesh There are too many of them complaining about the "missing" word Easter...... oh, you meant .....

Our brilliant young minds are being replaced by goat herders from Afghanistan.

@lukejcr @OliverRyanUK Don't tell me, you just need to proved certain details to a dedicated website.....

Last week it was money off petrol.
This week it’s a prize draw on your energy bill.
What’s next week, win yourself a week away in Russia?

🚨 WATCH: Robert Jenrick launches a competition where Nigel Farage will pay for a year's worth of household energy bills for an entire street

@PeterStefanovi2 So, umm, what was the point of writing the manifesto if they:
Don't do what was in it, and
Do stuff that wasn't in it.

@AliFortescue @BethRigby So you don't think the media have questions to answer for inviting him on, also knowing what they knew?

@Frances_Coppola @DanNeidle @dollymixture Could just do with a few SLAPP decisions sticking, rather than being overturned on appeal. It will come, I am sure.
English
A tax barrister sued me personally for £8m for libel after we linked him to a tax avoidance scheme.
Today the High Court struck out the claim, granted summary judgment, and ruled it was a SLAPP. The judgment is highly critical.

MANDELSON FILES: Mandelson suggested using Nigel Farage to better UK connections with the Trump administration
Mandelson: "You can't ignore him, he's an elected member of parliament. He's a public figure. He's a bridgehead, both to President Trump and to Elon Musk and others... National interest is served in all sorts of weird and wonderful ways."
English
The war started by Farage’s mate, the one Farage argued for. Now the arsonists claim they’ll put out the fire. Grifters and con artists.

NEW: Reform are subsidising prices at a petrol station in Buxton to promote their proposal to cut fuel duty in the wake of the Iran War - more on @skynews later
English
@ali__samson @iamhamesh I remember Beth saying that Starmer unnerved her (or a word to that effect) by one of his pushbacks against her questioning a year or so ago. It was nothing like this though.
English
No other party raised more money than Reform in 2025.
This is another huge step with more to come.

Nigel Farage, the front runner to be the next British Prime Minister, is meeting with President Trump today. Time to sink Keir Starmer’s ghastly Chagos surrender deal for good. @Nigel_Farage
English
@BethRigby @haynesdeborah So the PM doesn't bend to the will of Trump and suddenly this story miraculously appears. And you couch it as a fact, rather than an allegation. No journalistic curiosity? No other ambassador alerting any other country? Very, very disappointing.

UK Ambo to Israel alerted London weeks ago of possible attack by US & Israel forces on Iran and says he believes PM & cabinet failed to take sufficient action to ensure defence of British interests in Mid East & Cyprus

@ZackPolanski Who said we were an island of strangers?
Please move away from sloganeering, it's very Johnson-esque.
English
Migration is part of what makes this country great.
We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours.
The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.

@iamhamesh You get the feeling he is going to be a Corbyn 2019 on steroids.... everything for everyone!

aren’t leasehold fees and services charges separate things?
Zack Polanski@ZackPolanski
The Prime Minister is asked about abolishing leasehold. He answers on management companies and ground rents that makes it really clear Labour have no intention of abolishing leasehold. 5 million people stuck paying service charges because Labour stand with property developers.
English
@ZackPolanski Would you abolish "all" leasehold? or just new? What of the vast swathes of historical leasehold properties across the NW? What would you do with them and how would you compensate the Freeholders for their losses?
