Stephen Rawlings

Yet you support at team, who are filled with foreign players? Including Muslim ones. I expect you will be happy when they all leave and of course you are currently boycotting every Sunderland game in hard protest at thier stance on employing these immigrants? Fucking hypocritical twat.

@suespensley He will feel at home in Reform with his Muslim brethren.

Some of the comments on here about the ex Labour councillor from Hartlepool that has just defected to Reform are absolutely vile and it just shows who are the racists in this country and it is not Nigel Farage and the Reform party

@IanElkins23 @ElectionMapsUK I dont think many people got your joke there, I thought it was excellent lol

@ElectionMapsUK I fully expect Restore to win them all

4 Council By-Elections are taking place this week: 🌳 Axholme Central (North Lincolnshire) 🌹 Brumby (North Lincolnshire) 🌳 Halstead, Knockholt & Badgers Mount (Sevenoaks) 🔶 Stanford (Vale of White Horse)

@FreeNationTalk @LilyLinguiz6 Many of Reform supporters and members are the silent majority. We do not shout and commit acts of violence and aggression but we’ll be voting for Nigel Farage and Reform UK at the next general election @Nigel_Farage @reformparty_uk

Apparently, some adult Ipswich fans were “ashamed” and “disgusted” at Nigel Farage visiting Portman Road, the home of Ipswich Town FC today. Oh dear, they may get upset again if they see this image again. Please do not share it.

Sorry mark i really like you, but on this you are wrong. It form a government you need people that still know all of the blobs tricks. To think anything else is nieve at best. You need to break the establishment and that can only be done with a backbone of experience. Like football, its hard to win things with kids.

I like Jenrick, and i like Braverman, and onboard with the 2 of them joining Reform UK. However, over 100 Tory officials have now defected to Reform UK Its getting harder to defend, and another one incoming with Esther McVey! Enough is enough Nigel, no more failed Tories 🙏🏻 🩵

@AndyP76522217 @Paulie_Cashews @IpswichTown Unfortunately for you the other 30k do like him, so wipe your little bitch tears and sick it the fuck up.

@Paulie_Cashews @IpswichTown I’m an Ipswich Town fan and I despise Farage. We need a clear statement from the club asap.

No response from @IpswichTown 3 hours after Farage pissed all over their reputation. silence is complicity..

@thelefttake @Nigel_Farage @IpswichTown We have all been there, dont deny it. Probably because we have eat Halal.

@Stephen_rawling @Nigel_Farage @IpswichTown Actually shitting yourself in public

I’ve never been too bad on the right wing. ✍️⚽️

Oh dear a straw clutcher at best. You could have thrown Gammon in there as well?! Its a bit like me saying to you, don't you have a statue to deface or a pro Palestinian march to go to and shout in some innocent pedestrians face. Or maybe just the simple, go and have a bath you crusty lefty? You see i could have, but i didn't use any of these highly stereo typical clichés. I just wish you well in your ultra inclusive utopia. Do let me know how housing a migrant in your own accommodation is going, oh great and mighty inclusive one.

@Stephen_rawling @Nigel_Farage @IpswichTown You’re the type to get triggered by halal food you melt

@thelefttake @Nigel_Farage @IpswichTown Ooh snowflake is triggered.

@Nigel_Farage You should be ashamed of yourselves @IpswichTown

@Bob_cart124 @mjdaly57 You are the problem.

A couple of ambulances in London get damaged and the whole UK media industry mobilises. But when an entire generation of Arab Palestinians gets genocided, the media can't even recognise it. Journalism has become corrupted!

🚨 Danny Dyer Says Keir Starmer Is ‘Tw*t of the Year’ in EPIC Award Show RANT! Jack Whitehall: “If we were giving out BRIT Awards for tw*t of the year, who would win?” Danny Dyer: “There’s so many – the world is being run by cranks at the moment, so probably Keir Starmer. He’s a slag.” 😂 Well said, Danny – we all feel the same way! 👏🏻

@Donna_Rachel_ I made this point yesterday. If Restore are what they say they are then genuine figures can surely be released. Apparently its not something they want to do. Makes me wonder what they have to hide.

I've deleted my post regarding Restore's membership figures, as it's been confirmed that the email was a fake. However, the point still stands: we do know that a number of non-British citizens have joined the party from abroad (who are ineligible to do so), and we know that a large number of people joined when it was a movement, then left when it became a party. Can we have a membership number that accounts for both of those subtractions? If for no other reason than continuing to pump out clearly inflated numbers discredits the party and makes it seem like a bit of scam.

@bull_robin56713 @Donna_Rachel_ You know as well as I do that paying party memberships have to be recorded and data used for the purposes of tax if nothing else. I know the man, so no I won't be taking his word for anything.

@Stephen_rawling @Donna_Rachel_ How do you suggest any party proves it's membership numbers? They cant publish a list of names due to data protection. I am afraid you are going to have to take Rupert's word for it.

@CharlieSansom No and blocked.

Now that Rupert Lowe’s party is officially registered, would you vote for Restore Britain?

Agreed on all points, which doesn't really change the premise of my argument though. Restore do not have 110,000 genuine paid up party members, which Lowe has suggested himself. If he wants to be creditable then be honest and transparent about the real numbers. Its like the tories saying they have 1 million members. Just because they say it, doe not mean its true. In terms of the email received, maybe you should email the electoral commission and ask if its a genuine email.

Stephen, you’re mixing a few different issues there. First, on transparency – parties can choose to publish membership numbers if they want to, but they are not required to submit or verify those numbers with the Electoral Commission. So Reform publishing figures is a choice, not a regulatory benchmark that others are failing to meet. Second, on “non-transferable memberships” – that’s correct in a technical sense. Party memberships don’t automatically carry over between organisations. But that doesn’t stop people: - joining a new party separately - supporting more than one movement - signing up as supporters rather than formal members So again, it depends entirely on how a party is defining its numbers – something the Electoral Commission does not standardise or police. Third, and this is the key point: The Electoral Commission does not hold a verified, complete membership list for any party. It deals with donations, loans and compliance – not auditing headcounts. So when people suggest the Commission has effectively “exposed” inflated numbers, that simply isn’t how the system works. At most, they’re looking at partial datasets (e.g. donors or related records), not total membership. You might be right to question how any party presents its figures – that’s fair game in politics. But jumping from: - incomplete regulatory data to - “they must be lying about membership” …is a leap, not a conclusion backed by the rules or the evidence. If there’s a case to answer, it should be based on clear definitions and comparable data – not assumptions about what the Electoral Commission does or doesn’t verify.

Let's flip that for a second though, Reform have been transparent from the get go with thier membership numbers, even when they had a period of decline. Lowe has done no such thing, a because the memberships, under electoral commission rules are non-transerable and B, the numbers would most likely conclude that Lowe and the Restore party have been a little bit untruthful with thier numbers, and that isn't a good look.

This is a good example of how a small piece of official wording is being stretched well beyond what it actually means. The Electoral Commission does not hold or verify full party membership lists. Under UK law (PPERA 2000), parties are required to report things like donations, loans, and financial accounts – not their total membership or a verified list of members. So when people quote the Commission as if it has confirmed “59% of members are overseas”, that’s already a misreading. The Commission simply doesn’t have a complete, audited membership database to make that kind of statement in the way being implied. What they can see is limited to regulated data – for example: - donations and whether they come from permissible UK sources - certain financial or supporter-related records That is not the same thing as confirmed membership. And this is where the confusion creeps in. Political movements don’t just have one neat category called “members”. They often have: - paid members - registered supporters - email sign-ups - campaign backers None of that is standardised across parties, and none of it is centrally verified by the Electoral Commission. So taking a partial dataset (which may relate to supporters, donors, or some other subset), calling it “membership”, and then subtracting it from a headline figure to claim “the party only has 20,000 real members” is simply not a valid conclusion. It’s also worth noting: - Overseas individuals can join or support a party - But donations must still come from permissible UK sources So even the presence of overseas supporters isn’t evidence of anything improper. In short: - The Commission does not verify membership totals - The “59% overseas” figure is not a confirmed membership statistic - The conclusion being drawn from it is speculation, not fact If you want to challenge a party, fine – but at least do it on the basis of what the law actually requires and what the data actually shows, not by reverse-engineering numbers from a dataset the Commission itself does not treat as full membership.

@MackJames1967 @BritainVotesNow I actually tend to agree, a bit of joined up thinking. We dont have to agree on anything other than keeping the lunatics out.

@BritainVotesNow This is where we need joined up thinking. Reform doesn’t have to fight the Tories when they are the leading candidate.. And the Tories (and Restore) shouldn’t contest constituencies where Reform is strong. We need the right to win and not let in the Libdums and Greens

@steven_dimond @GBNEWS Maybe you should read the replies on here. Would the last one out of CCHQ please turn out the lights and pop the key back through the door.

@GBNEWS She's absolutely bang on about him and the rest of Reform saying whatever they think people want to hear. They have no intention of doing any of it.
