The Times Group: You are sick Your contempt bordering on hatred of Nigel, myself & Reform means you stoop to any low to smear & discredit us. You lie, libel and make things up. How many more Reform politicians do you want dead? Shame on you

🧵 2,700 mainly older people in Britain died prematurely during the recent heatwave. What first attracted Reform UK to the £24M it got from oil and gas interests, and to GB News, owned by billionaire Paul Marshall, whose hedge-fund has £2.1 billion invested in fossil fuel firms? Reform's Nigel Farage recently shared an Instagram video, saying “The hysteria, we're being told that if we leave our houses we'll all be dead, is just nonsense. Be sensible and enjoy the lovely weather.” The multimillionaire former Commodities Trader in the City of London and by far the highest earning MP, who was privatey educated at Dulwich College, one of the most elite establishment institutions on earth, described net zero as “a political elite project disconnected from voters”. Reform's shameless multimillionaire liar Richard Tice has falsely claimed “Man-made climate change is garbage”, there's “no evidence” that CO₂ drives it, and has described CO₂ as “plant food,” not a pollutant. Reform's dribbling idiot Andrea Jenkyns stated during a heatwave/drought period, “Do I believe that climate change exists? No.” She has also described climate change as a “money-making racket” - which is, funnily enough, precisely what Reform UK is for all the ex-Tories in it. Reform's particularly stupid bigoted adolescent odd weirdo and former Labour and Tory MP, Lee Anderson, said “Climate Change. It's been happening for millions of years”, and only “odd weirdos” care about decarbonisation. Reform's unelected son of immigrants multimillionaire Muhammed Zia Yusuf argued in a GB News discussion that: “If there's one thing [the British way of life] is not under threat from, it's climate change.” Reform's failed parliamentary candidate, out-of-touch, morally righteous self-serving elite and regular GB News presenter, Matt Goodwin, having swallowed Steve Bannon's 'anti-woke' dictionary, described net zero as “a pet project among an out-of-touch, morally righteous and self-serving elite.” A 2026 policy brief from the London School of Economics' Grantham Research Institute found multiple Reform-controlled councils and councillors using language that questioned or rejected human-caused climate change. The hedge fund run by GB News co-owner Paul Marshall, which employs Farage and Lee Anderson and regular platforms Matt Goodwin, Danny Kruger, Zia Yusuf and other senior Reform UK figures, almost tripled its investments in fossil fuel companies in the first quarter of 2026 to £2.1 billion. Finally, Reform supporters are, on average, older and less likely to have university-level qualifications than supporters of Labour, the LibDems or the Greens. Older people are also among those most vulnerable to extreme heat, and are less likely to engage with more reliable, serious, and less partisan news media. Correlation is not causation, but polling shows a striking divide in attitudes towards climate policy: support for achieving net zero by 2050 or sooner is highest among Green supporters (89%), followed by LibDems (81%), Labour (79%), Conservatives (53%) and Reform UK supporters (26%). Reform voters are therefore a clear outlier: only around one quarter support maintaining the UK's current net-zero trajectory, and a significant majority favour slowing or even reducing climate action. ALWAYS follow the money... 🤑

Harvey, You pled guilty to paying a 17 year old boy for sex. When you were 39. This is “disgrace”. Given you claim to have “nothing to apologise for” I feel compelled to inform you:  *this conduct is still illegal today*. You went to your party’s client press to condemn Nigel - who was also grieving for Ann - for asking questions that are now totally vindicated.  All to score a cheap party political point. This is “depraved”.

Nowt to see here, just the Tory deputy chairman & vile Kyle joking about arson, with a bit of homophobic banter thrown in. We pay this cretinous oafs wages.

I voted against Labour’s Immigration Bill tonight. It’s yet another sham. Where’s leaving the ECHR? Where’s blocking every made up legal claim? Where’s detaining and deporting every illegal migrant so they aren’t in bedsits on your street? Where’s the power to send them back home, to places like Afghanistan if needs be? Nowhere to be seen. Where’s blocking the Boriswave from getting Indefinite Leave to Remain and bankrupting Britain with their benefits and social housing? That’s being dropped by the sound of things. It’s just another performative farce, like the Sunak Rwanda Bill I resigned over. Labour are the party of open borders. Have been under Starmer, will be under Burnham. The Tories haven’t changed. They’re still stuffed to the rafters with people who should be in the Lib Dems. Trust me, I know them. They won’t do any of these things. They didn’t even vote against the Bill tonight. Only Reform will secure our borders and put the British people first.

In March 2026, Richard Tice said: “Starmer and Labour... are traitors to Britain.” Tice knows better than most that being called a “traitor” carries severe social, psychological, and sometimes violent or even fatal consequences. Just hours after Nigel Farage launched the Breaking Point poster, inspired by Nazi propaganda, Jo Cox was murdered by far-right terrorist Thomas Mair, who viewed Cox as a “traitor to white people.” Mair shouted phrases like “Britain first” and “Put Britain first” as he shot and stabbed Jo, and during his first court appearance, he declared: “My name is death to traitors, freedom for Britain.” Tice has attacked “The Times Group” (part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp), saying: “you stoop to any low to smear and discredit us. You lie, libel and make things up. How many more Reform politicians do you want dead?” - which is a bit rich coming from a privately educated multimillionaire who calls fellow politicians “traitors.” Speaking of being a bit rich, billionaire Rupert Murdoch and his News Corp titles have often aligned with right-wing, “anti-establishment”, and Brexit-supporting views, and Reform UK leader Farage (himself a privately educated multimillionaire and by far the highest earning UK MP) has met Murdoch multiple times. Finally, you may recall that in March 2025, Richard Tice told The Times he had “never met Nathan Gill” and that Gill had “never had anything to do with Reform”. However, photos from April 2021 show Tice campaigning alongside Gill (then Reform UK Wales leader), with Tice posting online: “Great to be with Nathan Gill, leader of Reform UK Wales, campaigning today.” Gill, the former Reform Wales leader and ex-MEP, was later jailed for 10.5 years in November 2025 after pleading guilty to bribery for making pro-Russia statements. Why would anyone trust anything that shameless hypocritical liar Richard Tice says?

On the day Reform claimed that a reasonable request not to turn the tragic death of Ann Widdecombe into a PR event was “inflammatory” and even a "threat to their lives", here’s just a small sample of Zia Yusuf referring to sitting Members of Parliament as “traitors”.
