@reformexposed Just how much has this cost the taxpayer? Shouldn’t Reform be accountable for the cost of all these resignations and suspensions?

Ok. Vulnerable post but here we are. I just weighed in at 141.4 lbs. Since Sept 2024 to today, May 15, 2026, I have lost 100lbs. It hurts to say that and share but I am going to share it because I worked so damn hard every week for over a year and a half to shed this weight. It did not happen overnight. If it wasn’t for having this incredibly challenging goal in fighting @rondarousey I most definitely wouldn’t have reached this. I was pre-diabetic, had trouble simply walking in September 2024 and have been on the path to recovery to turn myself back into an athlete since then. It was hard, SO damn hard.. there was so much to learn, too much to unpack here, ups, downs, plateaus, things I learned late I wish I learned earlier, trial by error but I did it. Thank you to Ronda, who waited patiently while I lost this weight and giving me something to aim for. There is still so much I need to learn and want to do in the health space and to continue transforming my body, but for today, I thank God, my husband and my family for sticking with and encouraging me the whole way. I pray this encourages you wherever you are in your health journey. Believe there is hope. Never give up. Ok.. enough emo, I’ve got a fight tomorrow. We’ve worked so hard to get here. Tune in!! @netflixsports @netflix @MostVpromotions

Rayner has been cleared, but the media ran 30 front pages in total, averaging 4 front pages a day during the peak of the story. Farage's £5 million gift has had two front page stories. Why would there be such a difference in reporting standards for the two?

@artlowy8 @secondtierpod Me an all. Our Nana passed away and was buried the day after my 16th birthday. My aunt was adamant I had to have a birthday present and she took me to the supporters shop where she bought me my first shirt, this one.

@tds122 Gascoigne is an obvious answer but Bryan Robson is a good shot. Got injured in both 86 and 90 world cups.

Brian Brobbey epitomises everything that is wrong with modern day football. I grew up watching players defined by elegance and intelligence on the ball: the likes of Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Dimitar Berbatov, Alan Shearer, Robin Van Persie, Andy Cole and Sergio Aguero. They made the game feel like an art form as much as a sport. Now I have to watch lumps like Brobbey who has nothing more than physicality to his game. He plays like a WWE wrestler, not a Premier League footballer. It’s effective sure, but boy is it painful to watch. It’s the sad reality of where our beautiful game has gone. And it’s why players with more natural talent and technical quality like Nick Woltemade are struggling. Brian Brobbey is the face of this new era and it’s painfully sad.

On a train to London to visit my sister in hospital. I could handle being wall to wall with Luton Town FC fans, but then the Geordies got on too. Seemed a nice bunch to be fair, but Mags is Mags!!! Avoided eye contact :-)

@PressSec What exactly have you achieved? A ceasefire on a war you started? Thats ok then. Don’t worry about the people who have died, including your own.

This is a victory for the United States that President Trump and our incredible military made happen. From the very beginning of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump estimated this would be a 4-6 week operation. Thanks to the unbelievable capabilities of our warriors, we have achieved and exceeded our core military objectives in 38 days. More on that tomorrow morning from @SecWar and Chairman Caine! The success of our military created maximum leverage, allowing President Trump and the team to engage in tough negotiations that have now created an opening for a diplomatic solution and long-term peace. Additionally, President Trump got the Strait of Hormuz reopened. Never underestimate President Trump’s ability to successfully advance America’s interests and broker peace.

@LexiBeaChorlton Bet you’re happy you posted this, judging from the responses. A man who took a wage from the EU but attended next to no meetings. A man who is invisible in his own constituency. A man who is a proven liar. That is not reform, no way.

My little girl in for surgery again tomorrow. Honestly kills me this… having to starve her, now waiting. Taking her in, leaving her, waiting for the call, then waiting to get her I just love her so much.

@SirSimonClarke Brexit wasn’t about never talking to our neighbours ever again, as much as the Brexiteers wanted it to be.

@kerrydixon21 @Charl_H79 @GME_1970 Is that the game in'85 when you's ran on the pitch and then started throwing chairs at a fence knowing you couldn't get over? Then when one got over he got twatted to fuck as we stood there waiting? Then when we came outside en masse you's weren't to be seen?

@DaveSmith850 @CobboldMassive @LeeHarris He’s a business man and he’s read the room. He could have told people to stick their views, and enjoy half-empty stadiums in future. Football belongs to the fans, and if so many are upset at their club being used in this way, he’d be daft not to acknowledge that.

@CobboldMassive @LeeHarris Erm, this isn’t the same. The people outraged about Farage at Ipswich and demanding statements and apologies are the people not wanting guitar lessons. Lee is just critiquing the Maoist apology that the chairman has given. There’s a difference

I honestly can't believe what I've just watched. Ipswich Town's Chairman spends over three minutes apologising for hosting Nigel Farage. What a colossal wet wipe.

@GaryLineker @RestIsFootball @MicahRichards @alanshearer If he had the benefit of modern training techniques, science etc, where would Kenny Dalgliesh sit in comparison to today’s players. He was my boyhood hero and I remember George Best saying how good he was and that he was ahead of his time.

@Socket1Sophie @PDRNHPUK Just saddens me that so many are falling for him. Do they honestly think he will give up millions in other earnings to be PM, where he can earn ‘only’ £180k a year? They fell for Brexit and they are falling for Reform. ‘We’re doomed, Captain Mainwaring!’

Farage was on fire in Sunderland tonight. His speech was broadcast to the Nation. He had more edge than normal, but his delivery was excellent. He is taking on & defeating the whole political establishment. Reform are Rampant & Nigel is the cornerstone of the entire movement.
