Not tribal. Don't belong to an identity group. Like to call out bullshit no matter who is saying it.

@LeoKearse @DaleVince Yes, “vile dance” is an anagram of “dale vince”.
They use exactly the same letters (ignoring spaces and case):
•vile dance → A, C, D, E, E, I, L, N, V
•dale vince → A, C, D, E, E, I, L, N, V
You can rearrange the letters of one to get the other perfectly. Nice spot!

Farage is taking political donations into new territory and to new levels. The influence of big money in UK politics can no longer be ignored. Wealthy people, big business, and foreign-linked money are finding new ways into the system - from companies to cryptocurrency.
The danger is clear: politicians make decisions based on the interests of their donors, not the country. Rather than play political whack-a-mole trying to close the latest loophole in donations - crypto being the very latest - we should deal with the root problem. A complete ban on political donations is simple, clear and enduring. No donations means no loopholes.
And no influence.

@DaleVince The person who gave him the money did it freely, unlike me, as a taxpayer, who was forced to subsidise your company

The risk of a trans woman being abused or assaulted in the men’s toilet per visit = extremely high.

Follow the logic. Women are deluded and naive for thinking predatory and violent men can be kept out of women-only spaces. ‘They can rape you anywhere.’ However, trans-identified men can only be safe in women-only spaces, because no abuser would ever follow them in there.

@bitingnewsback @JackWDart They know that they caused it, and they did it intentionally. They had a threefold strategy in doing so. 1. They wanted to provoke the right and frame them as racist. 2. They saw it increasing their voter base. 3. They have a hatred of the nation state and want to destroy it.

@MrMikeCS @JackWDart The problems are real. The delusion is that the Left didn't cause most of them. There is no spoon.

@bitingnewsback @JackWDart So you are agreeing with me. The problems are real, but the solutions are "perceived"
English

@MrMikeCS @JackWDart I feel it is - although both countries gave awful problems - it’s the perception of those problems from people who attribute them often to the wrong thing that in turn drives them to the far left or far right. Politicians take advantage of the fear.

The Guardian has released a statement after Nigel Farage posted a photo of one of their photographers' press passes, implying that a photojournalist threatened his safety:
"The Guardian is concerned by the recent publication on Nigel Farage’s social media pages of the professional credentials of a photographer working on behalf of the Guardian while he was working lawfully in a public space. Holding public figures to account is the role of a free press.
"As part of the Guardian’s journalism covering Nigel Farage’s purchase of a £1.4m property in cash shortly after receiving a £5m personal gift, a photographer took pictures from a public path and showed his press card when asked to identify himself."

@timfarron What a stupid straw man. 1. You don't speak for every working class family. 2. You have no idea what they think. 3. Being tolerant of people who, from time to time, say or condone nasty speech is not to accept that it is part of our culture.

@Telegraph Since the majority of children today are in Muslim families, it would increase the Muslim vote substantially. Is this truly what Labour, and British voters in general, wanted? What sane person would vote for this ridiculous political party anyway, given their ruinous policies?
English

You might expect Labour’s lowering of the voting age to be welcomed by the young. Who doesn't want more rights?
But at a focus group of teenagers assembled for The Telegraph, the idea has gone down rather like a lead ballot paper ⬇️

@shatners144143 @Telegraph If you hadn't had right wing governments, you would not have a viable economy. That may have helped younger people.
English

@Telegraph Why would young people support the right-wing?
I can see why older people support the right-wing and therefore give their votes to the right-wing.
It what way have decades of right-wing policy helped young people?

@PalPress24 @BeckettUnite So why did you allow Hamas to attack them? Why didn't Palestinians agree to a two state solution when it was proposed?
English

@BeckettUnite Israel killed my little child, Rakan. I will not stop speaking out, and we will not leave Gaza. They must leave us alone, stop killing children, and be held accountable.

@BeckettUnite How did yrade unionists become so establishment minded. Where have all the true champions of workers' rights gone?

Laura Kuenssberg wanted to ask questions about me being in the pocket of a billionaire and our candidate being a misogynist. So naturally I sent Robert Jenrick, the man who intervened to save a billionaire pornographer £45m in exchange for a £12,000 donation.

@RupertLowe10 Do the right thing. You will never be forgiven if you don't. Put the cpuntry before your ego.

Sod it. For the purposes of full transparency, here are our canvassing returns from Makerfield that we’ve had back so far from the door knocking today.
1,010 sample size.
24.6% for Restore Britain.
31.2% definitely against.
24.2% undecided.
20% considering.
Excluding won’t votes.
More teams coming back, so the sample size will grow a lot in the next few hours.
Largely agrees with what we’ve found over the last week - astounding response with the working class, more difficult with wealthier areas. To be honest.
Labour are the opponent in the fancier places, Reform with the working class.
Our campaign has just taken off. Great name recognition already, but clearly room to grow.
Let’s see what happens.
But we’re very happy with progress.

@Tonyfra85680045 @Anniepop2027 @rpmcmur @wesstreeting @LBC @SkyNews @BBCNews 100% another disgraceful Labour prank
English

@Anniepop2027 @rpmcmur @wesstreeting @LBC @SkyNews @BBCNews Tories, bless em, had the Rwanda plan which was starting to work but Starmer had always pledged to bin it and he cost us £750 million, if he had that still in place it would have stopped them coming and we would not need to spend more money processing them
English

@Anniepop2027 @rpmcmur @wesstreeting @LBC @SkyNews @BBCNews The statement is about illegal and legal migration. The minimum income requirements introduced by the Tories have had an enormous effect on legal migration.
English

@Anniepop2027 @wesstreeting @LBC @SkyNews @BBCNews Had NITHING to do with Starmer or Labour. Its the result of action taken by the Tories previously. Im sure Starmer will agree with that because he thinks everything he comes across is the result of the last Tory administration.

@PeterTatchell And people are liberty to be dofferent. There are no rights issues here unless they infringe on other's established rights.
