🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham is strongly considering replacing council tax and stamp duty with a 0.48% annual tax on a home's current value

On the issue of what stirs up hate: * Reform hosted Lucy Conolly on their main stage at conference * Senior members of Reform, such as Zia Yusuf, regularly describe their political opponents as "traitors" * When Keir Starmer's house was firebombed, prominent Reform supporters circulated Russian propaganda minimising, and joking about, the attack So when it comes to political discourse what are the rules. If jeering at Nigel Farage in the House of Commons chamber crosses a line, what is the line now.

🎂Happy Birthday Young Bob🎂 Today I turn 18, marking just over a year since I started content creation and social media. To say it's been interesting is an understatement. However, it's been an absolute honour and a privilege. The things I've been able to do as a 17 year old are things that most adults can't even claim they've done in their lifetime. I got engaged. I was able to speak on university campuses across the UK. I've also faced struggles and challenges. I've been arrested several times, I've been assaulted, and I now need constant security at my events. However, now that I'm 18 years of age, we're going to be doubling down. We're going to continue the course, keep doing content, keep doing debate stands, and build our social media empire. This isn't the end. It's just the start.

Lucy Connolly’s tweet below was despicable and clearly an incitement to violence of the kind that then happened. But she deleted it within 4 hours, and expressed remorse. For her to get a 31-month prison sentence for posting it, is a ridiculous overreach by our justice system.
