@OriginalMeusli @Con_Tomlinson Saying shit to get votes is how you do politics lol

@Angl0Phil @Con_Tomlinson You can't cry at us because we have found someone better to support. I don't cry that you like a lying devious shit bag who says shit just to get votes.

Hearing from sources within Reform that the party plans to "throw the kitchen sink" at Great Yarmouth next week, in an effort to "gamble hard on killing the Restore baby in the cradle". Reform will send party members that the public won't recognise, rather than senior Tory defectors, to tell Great Yarmouth locals that Restore are "nasty rightwingers." Dirty and desperate tactics, that even some within Reform are reaching out to say they aren't comfortable with. So much for @RupertLowe10 being "one angry man" and no threat to Farage...

🚨 NEW: The Independent's Political Editor, David Maddox, has published messages showing No 10 was told last September that Peter Mandelson may have failed security vetting

@MrDave1602 @Sargon_of_Akkad I think the UK is doomed unless Labour and the Tories are destroyed and Reform overs the best chance we will ever have to do that. If the Left win the next election, they will bring in proportional representation and there will be no coming back.

@Angl0Phil @Sargon_of_Akkad You think this is about party politics?!?

Reform are terrified because they know Restore poses an existential threat to their party. If Farage and his treacherous band of goons are allowed to prevail in Great Yarmouth, nativism could be sunk for a generation. Do your part and volunteer, we must win.

@MatthewStadlen In fairness he's doing an ok job running the country with your head squeezed so tightly between his ass cheeks.

Unless Starmer lied to Parliament (which, according to the government, he did not) and can be shown to have lied to Parliament, he’s not going anywhere is he?

@Goosey30111568 She seemed to have a crisis of identity with the Online Safety Act. She hasn't made a salient point since.

Miriam Cates. Defending Starmer on GabNews. WTAF?

We are not allowed public bins because the IRA (which disarmed in 1997) may put bombs in them. Also we have much bigger priorities like providing free taxis for children with anxiety and installing more inclusive PRIDE zebra crossings.

@btbsoco 66 people polled in Wales lol

If you are a Reform voter switch your vote to Restore!

@PolitlcsUK It's over for Keir and it's over for Labour. Imagine waiting for 14 years for this shower of shite. Feel bad for the people who genuinely thought these lot where going to help the country.

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer says he is "absolutely furious" at not being told Peter Mandelson failed security vetting

@BylineTimes It'll be far more than that. 70% of the Boriswave came here to go straight onto benefits. The cost over their lifetime will be utterly staggering. Free NHS, pensions, public services all paid for and ZERO tax contributions. An undefendable scandal.

🔴 Economists Slam Reform UK’s ‘Fantasy’ Claims That ‘Boriswave’ Migrants Will Cost Households £20,000 “Reform have simply invented their own numbers..." say experts bylinetimes.com/2026/04/16/eco…

@LeeDavidEvansUK On May 7th the majority of the remaining Tory voters will finally realise there is no way back. They are not going to be forgiven. You either vote for Reform in 2029 or you may as well vote for Zack Polanski. It's over and rightly so.

That's partly because (a) much of the Reform vote was Tory and (b) the Tories who stuck with the party have done so for a reason. But if the Reform strategy was to kill the Tories by driving them down to single digits in the polls, I think that's very unlikely to happen.

I spent a lot of time campaigning recently and this chimes with the discussions I had with voters on the right. Basically, the Reform voters I met were much more open to the Tories than the current Tory vote was open to voting Reform. 1/2

@MattMacKinnonUK Restore will dominate the internet memes whilst Reform keep winning local elections and actually preparing for government. Leave them to it lol.

This stuff is becoming too comical. A perfect example of how to show your political illiteracy in one X post.

@BasilTheGreat @FindoutnowUK Your link shows this lol?

🚨RESTORE BRITAIN BEATING REFORM UK IN WALES ABSOLUTELY HUGE 🟢 Green - 22.9% 🌼 Plaid - 14.7% 🇬🇧 Restore - 13.2% 👈 ➡️ Reform - 12.9% 🌹 Labour - 12.8% 🌳 Tory - 9.9% 🔶 LibDem - 4.9% [@FindoutnowUK] (15th-16th April)

@KevinOConnor Adam Silver would deserve that for messing around with the odds. What a legacy. Would be ironic its the Thunder as well who had no problem with tanking until they had built a great team and now they don't like it.

NBA Draft Lottery night just got a lot more interesting now that the Clippers lost in the play-in. The Thunder own the Clippers pick, which will have the 11th (9.4% top 4) or 12th (7.1%) odds. Last year, that’s the slot the Mavs had to move up for Cooper Flagg. Can you imagine?

I worked in Erasmus. The return on inverstement for the UK was pathetic. Turing was far superior. This is the worst sort of gesture politics and for Labour, who I have voted for all my life, to replace a socially fairer scheme to return to one that is socially skewed, literally disgusts me.

@GBPolitcs Go further. They should be stripped naked and paraded through the streets of London like Cersei Lannister whilst followed by someone with a bell shouting "shame". The people are paid extortionate amounts of money to uphold the LAW and instead they help criminals abuse it! Scum!

🚨NEW: Nigel Farage unveils plan to jail lawyers engaging in asylum fraud

@Haggis_UK What is wrong with buying stocks or investments? I personally don't own crypto, I don't believe in it but how is this any different than Nigel Farage buying a gold company or a tech company?

Fraser Nelson(Times) rips Nigel Farage(Reform MP) over his crypto investment: "It's a scandal hiding in plain sight. Everyone can see Nigel Farage spending a quarter of a million quid in a bitcoin company, which he then hypes up... it's the Trumpification of British politics.."

I think a huge part of the reason why no government has been able to enact difficult pro-growth reforms is that the average voter still believes we remain a rich country. You hear this in politicians’ rhetoric “the sixth richest country in the world”. We’re the sixth largest economy but now far from the richest. Per capita we’re tanking down the rankings. One of the reasons why Poland or China have been able to have growth miracles in recent years is they think like a developing country. They know they were poor and they have to build to get rich. We think we are rich and that we don’t have to build anything anymore, or that when we do, it has to be the most expensive possible version of what we build. Bat tunnels. Fish Discos. Kittiwake hotels. We think we’re rich so we can afford to chase some wealth creators away, afford to mandate public biodiversity net gain on every development in the country, and afford to ratchet up state pension spending five times faster than the rate of growth in the economy. We’re suffering from acute ‘rich country delusion’. It’s only once we realise we’re far poorer than we should be that we can start to fix this nonsense.

@it_is_fareed Once you combine corporation tax and dividend tax, the tax for directors is pretty much the same as income tax anyway. A healthy economy should promote entrepreneurship. When people get rich so does the country.

Really disappointing that the Greens are hitting middle class PAYE workers rather than the National Insurance dodging self-employed micro business owner. Samuel Leeds paying himself £12,500 out of his business with a net worth of £30 million is totally unaffected.
