The only language that should be spoken in an English courtroom is English says Sarah Pochin Reform MP. She’s ABSOLUTELY Right as well.

Happy Bank Holiday! Here's a tongue-in-cheek parody song about @Nigel_Farage accepting a massive gift from a cryptocurrency billionaire and then hiding from a BBC interview - to the iconic tune of the legendary @The_Proclaimers. We're calling it: "Five Million Quid" 💰🤑💰🤑💰🎶

I don't fully trust Zack Polanski with my safety. Nigel Farage on the other hand I am confident would happily put my life in danger without a second thought, and then blame someone else.

If you vote Reform you will not have an illegal migrant deportation facility in your area. We will hold migrants awaiting deportation in constituencies that vote Green instead. You get what you vote for.

Man möge mir glauben, dass auf dem elektronischen Display in der Tür die Wagennummer "4" erscheint. Etwas Verwirrung in diesem Fall normal. -> In einem #ICE4-Zug fehlt aktuell der reguläre Wagen 4 = Wagennummern nicht synchron. -> bzgl Reservierungen zählt Angabe auf Display!

Zia Yusuf says Reform will detain "tens of thousands at a time" of migrants. Receipts: • Britain's biggest prison, HMP Oakwood: capacity 2,106 • Entire HM Prison Service: 88,000 places, 99% full • Cost per detainee per year: -£46,000 • Reform's costed plan for any of this: zero pages They can't run a Wetherspoons, let alone a gulag.

Hi @SuellaBraverman , 48 hours ago I asked you to substantiate or withdraw your claim that “250,000 foreign students took £4bn in UK loans.” That time has now passed. You have provided no evidence, no clarification, and no correction. I have taken the time to examine the data myself. I have reviewed materials from the Student Loans Company, the Department for Education, the House of Commons Library, the UK Statistics Authority, and reporting from Times Higher Education. Across these sources, one thing is clear. Your statement is presented in a way that gives the public a deeply misleading impression. Let’s deal with this carefully. The £4bn figure you reference relates to the total value of student loans issued to non UK nationals. It is not a direct cost to the taxpayer. These are loans. They are repaid over time based on income. Presenting that figure as if it were money handed out or lost is not an accurate reflection of how the system works. Then there is your use of the phrase “foreign students.” This is where the distortion becomes more serious. The fact (which you know quite well) is those eligible for UK student finance are not newly arrived international students. They are people with settled status, indefinite leave to remain, refugee status, or long term lawful residence in the UK. They live here. They work here. They pay into the system. And under the law, they are entitled to access student finance. Standard international students on student visas are generally not eligible for these loans. By leaving out that distinction, you create a very different picture in the minds of the public. One where large numbers of people are arriving from abroad and immediately accessing public funds. That is not what the data shows. You also cited a figure of 250,000 without pointing to a clearly published dataset or transparent methodology. Numbers like this carry weight. They should be used with care, not as loose estimates in politically charged statements. I am not interested in party politics. But I am concerned about what this kind of messaging is doing to the country. When lending is presented as spending, and long term residents are presented as outsiders, it fuels resentment. It deepens division. It creates tension where clarity is needed. And ordinary people end up carrying the consequences of that confusion. Like I was being racially attacked and profiled in my initial response to you in X by supporters of your party who were obviously misled and triggered by your misinformation. I did consider legal action. But the reality is that the law is not designed to deal easily with this kind of broad public misrepresentation. You know that, which is why ignoring a challenge like mine carries little immediate consequence. That does not make it acceptable. I will be submitting a formal complaint to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards regarding your use of misleading statistical claims in public communication. The public deserves accuracy. Not selective framing. Not distortion. And certainly not narratives that risk turning people against each other on the basis of incomplete facts. Stephen Dada.
Suella Braverman@SuellaBraverman

Too many universities are selling immigration, not education. Last year, about 250,000 foreign students took up taxpayer-funded student loans to pay for their courses in the UK, worth £4bn. This is not fair. A @reformparty_uk government will make sure that the British taxpayer is not paying for foreign students. Let’s put British students first.

Lee Anderson MP@LeeAndersonMP_·
It's called democracy. If the constituency votes in a Green MP who believes in allowing thousands of undocumented men in the country then they will be only too happy to have the detention camps in their area. Sorry Simon you're not reading the room on this one.
Simon Clarke@SirSimonClarke

We need to stop illegal immigration, but this is abhorrent from Reform. Zia is proposing the siting of detention centres expressly as a form of political punishment for people and places that don’t vote Reform - not just Green, but presumably Conservative, Liberal and Labour too. (And what about Reform voters in those constituencies?) It would almost certainly be deemed an abuse of ministerial power for political purposes, and as such would likely be stuck down in court before ever being implemented, wasting millions for the taxpayer without detaining anyone. If it were to go ahead, it would still represent an appalling waste of public money as these sites might well not be in any way suitable for the proposed centres, or near the other infrastructure required. What’s worse is that he is doing all this to provoke outrage and draw attention to Reform a few days out from the local elections. Reform know what they are doing. But this goes beyond a pre-election stunt. It’s declared as a major policy commitment, and should be treated as such. We need a proper plan to leave the ECHR and restore safe border controls, not gimmicks that wouldn’t survive first contact with reality.

Ben Graham@BenGrahamUK·
Reform’s latest proposal is certainly a bold way of framing local accountability. The argument is simple: if voters choose parties with more liberal positions on immigration, then those communities should be prepared to shoulder the reality of those policies. Do you think this is a good idea?

Kidding aside more people should adopt the country's endonym imo it would get rid of the confusion. In my native language it's Қырҭтәыла • (Kərttʷʼəla) Which is a combination of а-қырҭуа (a-kərtwa, “Georgian”) + а-тәыла (a-tʷʼəla, “country”)

@_HenryBolton And the 650 MPs include 7 Sinn Féin MPs who did not take their seats and the speaker who does not cast a vote, so Nigel Farage is factually 595th out of 642.

Nigel Farage’s record of voting in the Commons is continuing a pattern he established in the European Parliament. It’s very disappointing, particularly for those of us who supported him back in the day. His EP voting record (as an MEP 1999-2020) was: - between 2014-16 he participated in just 40.7% of roll-call votes → ranked 745th out of 746 MEPs (the worst active MEP in the Parliament). - His 2014-19 plenary attendance was just 61.4% (in the top 7 worst MEPs) In the House of Commons, Nigel is ranked 595th out of 650 MPs (9th percentile) in terms of the votes he’s participated in since the General Election. That’s just the record. He’s good at drawing attention to himself but rather less keen on the unglamorous, routine but vital work of Parliament - or anything else - when it is not necessarily all about him. It’s disappointing.
