Wombat In The Wardrobe

The Labour Government gave every Council this funding *last year*. This Reform Council decided not to spend it. The Government has now put in place a legal requirement for them to spend it & report progress. Don't give Reform any credit for this. Its all due to Labour.

Conveniently everyone in this country has very short memories about security clearance concerns surrounding @BorisJohnson appointment as Foreign Secretary. Meeting with Former KGB Agent: In 2022, it was revealed that Johnson, while serving as Foreign Secretary in 2018, attended a party in Italy hosted by former KGB agent Alexander Lebedev without officials present. This meeting occurred after a NATO meeting centered on Russia, leading to accusations of a "complete disregard for basic national security". Restricted Intelligence Access: During his tenure as Foreign Secretary (2016–2018), Downing Street under Theresa May reportedly attempted to withhold sensitive intelligence from Johnson due to concerns within the intelligence community regarding his ability to keep information confidential. Security officials were "wary" of sharing information with him. Use of Private Communication: Johnson and several ministers were accused of breaching national security guidance by using personal email accounts and phones for government business. Peerage for Evgeny Lebedev: Concerns were raised regarding Johnson's decision to grant a peerage to Evgeny Lebedev, son of Alexander Lebedev, in 2020, despite security advice. Post-Office Lobbying (The "Boris Files"): Leaked documents from 2025 indicated that after leaving office, Johnson potentially misused his former contacts for personal financial gain, including lobbying senior Saudi officials and meeting with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, which raised concerns about the blurring of private business and national security. Breach of Ethics Rules: A 2025 investigation found that Johnson breached rules regarding the misuse of political contacts after leaving office and failed to cooperate with the investigation.  People in this country attack the wrong targets. And forget the scandals that went on before this @UKLabour Government was elected to power and then gets unwarranted and sinister attacks from a conspiracy on both the left and right.

Now here's a thought....... It is local council elections Reform are in charge of 12 councils Some 75 plus councillors have resigned / defected / been removed - Staffordshire has had 3 leaders in a year due to allegations of racism - Kent the 'flagship' has lost 9 councillors - George Finch scraped through a no confidence vote by a single vote 24-25 in Warwickshire - Jo Monk lost a no confidence vote 10-15 in Worcestershire Why are the various media outlets not tearing the Reform council record apart and asking obvious questions of Farage . Tice and Co. This is Reform in action and the evidence thereof

Oh!

This gimmick from Farage has massively backfired. One of residents is thinking of giving his share of the winnings to the Labour Party. Good on him.

🚨Recent evidence now points to UAE illegally assisting Reform UK, so I started digging more into it and it's not just fundraisers 🚨 Nadhim Zahawi is linked to Habib al Mulla, who has been put in an intelligence report as content producer for far-right accounts.

This is you though, right? Campaigning against Angela Rayner over a FAR less serious tax 'error'.

Farage also thought Peter Madelson was a "good choice" to be the UK's ambassador to the USA. #Epstein

Crook

BBC having to apologise for letting Farage lie.

Local councils have no ability to do anything about immigration. Reform is a racist scam

Conservative MP Edward Leigh thinks disabled people and pensioners cost too much. He claims £2350 to pay his Council Tax, and £2500 to pay his energy bills every year But he isn't disabled or a pensioner, he is on £94,000 He should pay his self and cut the bloody benefit costs

His only interest is filling his pockets

🚨Sunday Times investigation today: Richard Tice’s companies appear to have failed to pay £100,000+ in corporation tax on profits, while funnelling over £1 million in donations to Reform UK. Tice calls it a “technicality” but critics say it looks like aggressive tax avoidance benefiting both him personally and his party. The party that campaigns hardest against the establishment and tax avoidance now finds itself accused of exactly that.

Reform UK’s new councillor Dee North is a former parish councillor in the division who got booted off that council for… NON ATTENDANCE.

“I don’t have the words to describe how stupid he thinks you are.” @mrjamesob goes back to the archives to point out the ‘disgraceful hypocrisy’ on show in Nigel Farage’s latest comments.

Straight out of the Putin Trump playbook.

Beth Rigby absolutely nails Farage here for lying. Farage says he never said that. Rigby has the transcript - and plays it.
