🚨 TODAY: Reform UK picks the leader of the largest group on Birmingham City Council. One name tipped for the top job: Jex Parkin Before the election, he told me about the party’s priorities and blasted what he called “net zero nonsense” 👇 @itvcentral
The chairman of Reform in Hull says Nigel Farage is a 'genius' and tells Lib Dem council leader Mike Ross his 'days are numbered'
Why didn’t Farage just declare the £5m personal gift from Harborne which, a few months before becoming an MP in 2024? The rules state new MPs "must register all their current financial interests, and any registrable benefits (other than earnings) received in the 12 months before their election within one month of their election". The rules also say "both the possible motive of the giver and the use to which the gift is to be put should be considered", adding "if there is any doubt, the benefit should be registered". Farage insists it was a purely personal gift and that he didn’t need to declare it
Oof. Disastrous result in Newham’s mayoral election. The combined independent and Green vote was about 39,000. But a split vote means Labour won with 25,538 votes.
Today we announce a new policy: In order to deport all illegal migrants in Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of thousands at a time. Migrants will not be able to leave these detention centres, and each will be held there a couple of weeks before being deported. So here’s our promise: A Reform government will not put any migrant detention facilities in any constituency with a Reform MP. Nor will we put them where Reform controls the council. And of the remaining areas, we will prioritise Green controlled parliamentary constituencies and Green controlled councils to locate the detention centres. Put simply, if you vote in a Reform council or Reform MP, we guarantee you won’t have a detention centre near you. If you vote Green, there’s a good chance you will. This is an important exercise in democratic consent, not just for our mass deportation policy, but for where the detention centres are placed. Given @ZackPolanski openly advocates for open borders, I look forward to their warm embrace of this policy. votegreengetillegals.com

Zack Polanski’s criticism of the police officers response to the Golders Green attack was disgraceful. He’s not fit to lead any political party.
