@MarkVipond Number of reform seats is secondary. The size of the vote allows reform to influence the direction of travel for what’s left of the Tories. To get those voters back a true centre right party is needed with Nigel playing a major role. So every vote for Reform is a vote for change.

“I never turn on my staff” “When they make mistakes, I carry the can” Really? 🤔

@PippaCrerar @IsraeliNat Totally unbelievable from No 10. Starmer had on multiple occasions said Mandleson passed vetting. So either Starmer was lying about the vetting. Or lying that he had the information. Either way its misleading both parliament and the public. He cannot stay

@MarkVipond @Nigel_Farage Lucky there’s no ex-Tories there then. I guess you wouldn’t welcome them back. Best stick with Reform then 👍🏻

@Nigel_Farage Racists, bigots, white supremacists, thugs, miscreants and even the odd pro-Palestine nutjob. Reform has them all!

Every day I am meeting hundreds of candidates up and down the country. Watch my full speech to Reformers in Surrey yesterday.

@Peston Didn’t he once say that he took responsibility for the actions of his department or something similar, that the buck stopped with him??

Downing Street says neither the PM or the then foreign secretary David Lammy knew that Peter Mandelson failed security vetting to be US ambassador till a few days ago. Sources say they are incandescent that they were not told. The clear implication is that the permanent under secretary at the foreign office Olly Robbins over-ruled the vetting recommendation and never told ministers. If that is right, and no official is denying that, it is impossible to see how he keeps his job

@59W00dy59 As opposed to the Tories and the last 14 years 🤷🏽‍♂️

Reform UK supporters still can't see that they are being lied to even when the evidence is Clear. Farage and Useless are taking you and voters for mugs.

BREAKING: The IRGC has been caught using child soldiers at checkpoints in Iran. Suddenly, nobody brings up the Geneva Convention. Weird.

@MarkVipond @PolitlcsUK @guardian For once I agree with Mark. Resign !!

@PolitlcsUK @guardian The Prime Minister specifically told the House that Mandelson had been properly vetted in accordance with normal procedures. Keir Starmer misled the House. That's a resigning matter. Nothing less will do.

🚨 BREAKING: Peter Mandelson failed his security vetting for US Ambassador Keir Starmer had already announced his role so the Foreign Office used a rare power to overrule security officials [@guardian]

Thursday By Election 🗳️ Dee North candidate for Reform UK standing in today’s (16 April 2026) Narborough & Whetstone by-election for Leicestershire County Council. Statement from Dee I am standing in this by-election because I believe our community deserves a councillor who will listen to residents, stand up for local priorities and work hard to deliver practical solutions. I have lived and worked professionally in the local area for many years and have strong personal ties to Narborough, Littlethorpe and Whetstone. My family and I live locally and I support ageing relatives in the area, which means the future of our community matters deeply to me. My professional background as a consultant has focused on solving problems and delivering results. I have also served locally as a volunteer for the community, a parish councillor and school governor, giving me valuable experience of how local government works and how important strong representation is for local communities. County councillors make important decisions about roads, flood management, education, social care and local services - decisions that affect every household in our villages. If elected, I will focus on three key priorities that residents consistently raise. 1Safer Roads and Better Infrastructure 2Responsible Development, Flood Prevention and Accountability 3Protecting Local Services and Supporting Our Community If elected as your County Councillor, I will: ✔ Listen – regularly speak with residents and understand local concerns
✔ Act – work constructively to deliver practical solutions
✔ Represent – ensure Narborough, Littlethorpe and Whetstone have a strong voice at County Hall Vote for Dee @reformparty_uk

@MarkVipond @RussellFindlay1 As if the Tories are going to win there. Vote Reform and let’s get rid of the SNP

@RussellFindlay1 You can't trust Farage with our Union. The only way to support and protect the UK in Scotland is to #VoteConservative

Can everyone please now stop pretending that Nigel Farage's Reform are unionist? 👇💥 Don’t split the pro-UK vote. Vote Scottish Conservative on your peach ballot to stop an SNP majority on May 7.

@MarkVipond @Conservatives And the Tories lied in 3 general elections. How can they accuse others of dishonesty??

@Conservatives No ifs or buts - Reform lied to voters at last year's council elections. It's a party every inch as dishonest as Starmer's Labour. Stop letting these mendacious politicians lie to you and treat you like mugs.

Reform lied to you about Council Tax. And they're trying to lie again to cover it up. Well, we kept the receipts. 👇

🚨 JUST IN: Iran is about to execute the FIRST WOMAN because she protested the Islamic regime, while Democrats attack President Trump IRANIAN WOMAN FIRES BACK AT THE LEFT: "You claim to be a feminist, WHERE ARE YOU when the women NEED YOU? You are a fake, a hypocrite, you are of NO HELP to anyone." "If you claim to be a feminist...Iran isn't just a military war or peace in the Middle East...this is a humanitarian issue. They are killing young people every single day." "The only president who has helped is President Trump."

@atticrahman Vote Tory get Green/ independent. Beware what you wish for. The Tories are not winning here only Reform can save us now.

#VoteConservatives . Get Britain Working Again.

This is a war crime By Hezbollah.

@MarkVipond @reformparty_uk So what do you want people to do Mark??? The Tories will never win here, so who should the right vote for, or is it vote Tory and get some left wing ragtag party like the Greens. Come Mark Let’s have your wisdom, who should we vote for??

@reformparty_uk Your regular reminder that these are Senedd elections - not a general election. Keir Starmer, nor UK Labour, will appear on any ballot papers. Reform think you're stupid. Prove them wrong.

Wales wants to Get Starmer Out! ⚠️

@MarkVipond @HugoGye Would you risk it??? We know if you vote a Tory you get Green. Facts are Facts. Would we really take that risk 🤦🏽

@HugoGye Kemi's doing a great job, showing she's honest, pragmatic, committed, offering voters intelligent, thought-through policies. The complete antithesis to Farage.

🚨📝 NEW COLUMN Why the Tories have a chance of a comeback after the local elections Badenoch is more popular than other party leaders And crucially, Reform voters seem more open to backing her than Conservative supporters are to voting for Farage

@MarkVipond But somehow we should trust the Tories 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽 let’s get real. Vote Tory get Green.

This could not be clearer. You quite simply cannot trust a word that Farage comes out with. He really is no better than Starmer.

@MarkVipond Vote Tory get Green. Facts are Facts

Reform supporters, take note: Because the majority of us understand and concern ourselves with local issues at local elections, not one of these priorities is "Get Starmer Out". We're voting for better roads, improved services, lower council tax at next month's elections. And Reform are offering none of these things.

Love this 🩵 Nigel is the man of the people, what other MP would do this.

A lot of people saying they would never vote for Nigel Farage as they don't trust him,presumably once trusted the Tories or the Labour party whom have both proven to be untrustworthy, Nigel has never been in government (yet) to be proven either way so I don't understand the logic
