To be clear. If you vote Reform you are stupid. Yes I mean thick. Dense. Twp. You are gullible, malleable and easily manipulated. You regurgitate tabloid headlines and use terms you don’t understand. You want simple answers to complex problems. You find change overwhelming.

Women: These bad bitches fought and died for your right to vote. So fucking use it. You have until midnight: gov.uk/register-to-vo…

@LozzaFox @SadiqKhan Oh Christ. Where? Hope it’s nowhere near me.

I’m having quite the day of good news today. Having spent the past 8 years living overseas, i am leaving London, having just completed purchase of a house back home in England. I cannot wait to get out of this once great city, now godforsaken $hithole @SadiqKhan has created. No more of police harassment. No more knife crime, no more phone thieves, no more child mutilation cult flags and no more racist antisemitic marches every weekend. Just miles and miles of this green and pleasant land.

@Nigel_Farage Zero waiting lists bc there would be zero NHS.

Here are our five key pledges to save Britain. 🇬🇧

@wolsned Nope. Competition is too stiff for that with Johnson and truss in the running.

Is Rishi Sunak the worst Prime Minister the UK has ever had?

@FraserNelson Because they’re so fucking generous now??

Once VAT is slapped on private schools, ordering them to behave like profit-seeking companies, it will be harder to ask them to share resources with state schools. Starmer’s VAT move will deepen inequality and widen gap between state and private. telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/09/2…

@andreajenkyns Which party are you standing for again? 🤔

Teams out across East Ardsley this evening. Again, there is certainly no love for Starmer! Not all change is good change!

@NoContextBrits This is the joke (talking about Maggie Thatcher) that got Kenny Everett sacked. Again.

Let me spell it out…If you vote for Reform you are voting to end the NHS

@nickreeves9876 Good grief man! Just look at a vintage Ladybird book!!

Here's a question I would really like answered. What is this English culture that Reform UK is so desperate to protect from immigration, and so fragile that they think immigration can destroy it?

@christopherhope @GBNEWS More nonsense.

LATEST Nigel Farage: “We cannot go on like this. We are skint. We are in real trouble. We have to have slimmed down public sector and do it by not hitting services.” More at @GBNEWS.

If you haven't registered to vote you've got one more day in which to do so.

@danwootton It’s a good job that it doesn’t happen in the UK and never will and is just a made up scare tactic then, isn’t it?

As a gay man, I am VERY worried about the spread of Sharia Law in the UK, Narinder, given it would see me stoned to death. As an empowered woman, you should be very concerned too, given you would be forced to cover your entire body other than your hands and face.

@EudaimoniaEsq We’d only use AC 3 days a year!

@Otto_English Because actual images look like this

Don't you have any actual images of the Good Old Days? What is this obsession with AI?

@terrychristian Surprising easily.

I mean come on....how could anyone possibly fool these people twice

Thread of photos that could be album covers 1. Oko by Marko Popadic

@Conservatives So you do agree with Labour?

British energy should come from Britain, not Russia.
