@CatharineHoey @Nigel_Farage @AllisonPearson This is absolute nonsense. Nigel Farage and Reform's key policy is promoting anger and hatred. They then wonder why so many people are angry and hateful. And you might want to spare a thought for a certain Diane Abbott - surely the most demonised and targeted politician in the UK

No other politician has faced the demonisation which @Nigel_Farage has experienced over many years Even in the Commons he has been constantly barracked and shouted down @AllisonPearson is absolutely correct

Excellent analysis of Nigel Farage, Reform and their many problems by the great @MichaelLCrick, Farage's biographer. Can't disagree with a word of this.

@buckley_gresham You're right that there's little tolerance on both sides. I actually welcome different ideas, but I think they must be properly interrogated and scrutinised. But I don't like people stirring up hatred who complain that they're the victims. That's what Reform are doing. #r4today

@Gregom10 You "think" you see the problem but you are being too partizan. Scum, nazis, fascists are often hurled at Reform even by those who should know better. Politics is about ideas and opinions but there is zero tolerance of different views, which comes from both sides.

"Reform MPs are more in danger than others." says Robert Jenrick. The murder of Ann Widdecombe is appalling, but RJ's statement is nonsense in context of Jo Cox/David Amess, or even Diane Abbott. Reform stir up anger and hatred, then wonder why ppl are angry and hateful #r4today

@buckley_gresham I *can* see the problem and I've just described it. Look at interviews/speeches of Jenrick, Zia Yusuf etc or platforming of Lucy Connolly. Yes, some ultra liberals provoke anger too, but they're not the ones currently complaining that they're more in danger than others. #r4today

@Gregom10 You can't see the problem, can you? Reform dont "stir up anger" more than political parties with ultra liberal views, or open borders. Political parties are MEANT to have different views so they reflect the electorate. The unwillingness to accept different views is the problem.

@swinnybottom @NadineDorries @BorisJohnson @Nigel_Farage Indeed

@Gregom10 @NadineDorries @BorisJohnson @Nigel_Farage Ian Duncan smith was removed in 2003 Long long long before Brexit was even a thing

IDS, reported to standards commissioner, removed. Brexit PM @BorisJohnson reported to Privilleges comm, removed and now @Nigel_Farage reported to standards. He’s fighting for his political life. Every Brexit supporting leader taken down via remain institutions, the darker forces of Westminster and process.

@FootballLeagueW No. That'd be Ken Anderson, the man who tried to asset-strip #BWFC and pushed us to within hours of folding. It's taken us 7 years to recover, It's almost as though there should be some kind of test to see whether a new owner is a fit and proper person to run a club.

𝐃𝐄𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐄: Is former Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri the worst ever EFL club owner of all time? 🤔

Reform's Laila Cunningham: "Nigel Farage has answered all [financial] questions." No he hasn't - the Standards investigation hasn't been completed. "The NCA leaked his financial info - I have proof" When asked to show it: "I don't have it with me". Shockingly stupid. #C4News

@HavelockRoadBtn Wouldn't surprise me. Reform hate scrutiny.

@Gregom10 Tice's grandpoppy Bernard Sunley left him SUNLEY PROPERTY LLP (Ref: OC350451). Although resigned in 2024 he has many other companies which claim 'total exemption' from submitting full accounts. Farrage does the same. #r4today #PMQs

Zia Yusuf loses his rag and asserts that Lab/Tories called for a by-election in Clacton. Not true. They called for a parliamentary investigation. He simply tries to bulldozer through any difficult qns. eg Should politicians be able to receive money to lobby for donors? #r4today

@TiceRichard You're getting a bit over-excited, bcz they haven't admitted any such thing. Read @PippaCrerar 's tweet again. She simply says the £5m gift was reported to the NCA by bankers. She doesn't say where the @guardian got that info from.

Guardian admitting they knowingly received illegally obtained information from the National Crime Agency: 1) did they encourage the NCA leaker? 2) did they pay the NCA leaker? 3) have they indemnified the NCA leaker when they get arrested for multiple crimes Have the Guardian committed crimes ?

Zia Yusuf suggests Nigel Farage has been open and transparent about Posh George and his own finances. Again, not true. He called a by-election precisely to avoid a Standards investigation, which'll be delayed. He's done no interviews abt George and took no qns yesterday. #r4today

Football, eh ? Bloody hell! Argentina now 3-2 up and have surely won it (famous last words! - see above) Egypt gutted, and very unlucky. #ARGEGY

How wrong can you be? Argentina have suddenly woken up. Out of nowhere it's now 2-2 ! #ARGEGY

Superb breakaway goal from Egypt's Zico. In some ways, it's justice done, because Z's previous goal was utterly fabulous - ruled out for a slightly soft foul (IMO) Argentina look ponderous, slow and are the authors of their own imminent demise. Game over for me. #ARGEGY

Nigel Farage's possible tactics : He fears he'll face a recall petition once the Standards investigation is complete. If he resigns first, he can fight a Clacton by-election on his own terms before any possible ruling that he failed to properly report donations. #BBCNews #Reform

Nigel Farage is to resign as MP for Clacton. He'll then stand as the "People v The Establishment candidate". Will he now have to visit the constituency? He's trying to pre-empt Standards investigation, and claim that he has voters' backing. His story is: I'm a victim. #BBC

@RoslynByfield Braverman and Jenrick both covet the top job, As does Zia Yusuf, the risibly self-titled "Shadow Home Secretary". But he'd have to stand for Parliament and even he probably understands he'd be unlikely to win in a by-election. Trouble ahead for Reform #WATO #r4today

@Gregom10 Amid news that Braverman is poised to challenge him for the leadership. #wato

"Nigel Farage is due to make a statement on his future in public life", says #WATO #bbcradio4 Shd be interesting. He's been facing scrutiny over money from George Cottrell and Christopher Harborne. He has a habit of quitting when things get difficult. Watch this space #r4today
