BBC News - Protesters jeer as Starmer arrives in Golders Green - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c6โ€ฆ This is totally ridiculous. If any politician should have been jeered for jumping on a bandwagon in Golders Green, surely Nigel Farage.

I know there is a lot of news around but can someone at the Beeb explain to me how a man they keep telling us might be the next PM getting an undisclosed donation of FIVE MILLION POUNDS from a Thai based crypto dealer (with a BS explanation about it being for lifelong security) is not even a news story when the man he wants to replace led the news for days over some glasses and Arsenal tickets?

Starmer gets a free ticket to an Arsenal match and the entire right wing media throws an instant conniption fit Farage gets a ยฃ5 million quid undisclosed Crypto donation made directly to his company, Reform U.K. and itโ€™s wall to wall crickets from those very same media outlets
Narinder Kaur@narindertweets

Somebody remind me, how long did the media go on about some suits, pairs of glasses and concert tickets? Bought & owned by a man who doesnt live in Uk - Christopher Harbone previously funded Farageโ€™s attendance at Donald Trumpโ€™s second inauguration, donated more than ยฃ13 million to the Brexit. He is also a key investor in the crypto. ....ยฃ5million is enough to secure you for life!!!! Will @Nigel_Farage resign? This is outrageous

What is it that the Conservatives and Reform donโ€™t like about a Labour government standing against unearned wealth? What is it they don't like about raising money for our state schools, our hospitals, our police, and to lift children out of poverty?

Star of the day @darrenpjones. Great speech. Excellent rebuttal of the childish nonsense of opposition. Loyal and thoroughly on top of his brief. Been in parliament for a lot less time than some of his (SCG) colleagues. But he gave them a lesson in how to behave in Government

Full-length Darren Jones speech on Badenochโ€™s stunt. In my humble opinion, Darrenโ€™s contribution to Labour has been significant.

(Setting aside the โ€œcarpet bombโ€ threat), I note that Nigel Farage and Robert Jenrick both missed the vote โ€ฆ thatโ€™s 25% of your MPs. Not that important to you then.
Zia Yusuf@ZiaYusufUK

Friendly note to Labour MPs ahead of the vote tomorrow to decide if Starmer should face an ethics probe: If you vote against it, Reform will carpet bomb your constituency to ensure all your constituents know you voted to save the most unpopular PM of all time. Vote wisely.

Regardless of your political beliefs, this is fact, not opinion. Nigel Farage was instrumental in making this happen by bringing about Brexit. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟโ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿซ–

Since the 2024 general election, this Labour government will have passed more than 50 Acts of Parliament, each of which works to rebuild the British state, so that it once again serves the interests of working people. These include: ย  ๐Ÿ‘ท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธThe Employment Rights Act, the biggest upgrade in workersโ€™ rights in a generation ย  ๐ŸšŠThe Passenger Public Services (Public Ownership) Act, establishing Great British Rail โ€“ a publicly owned and accountable body to improve rail services and keep fares low ย  โšก๏ธThe Great British Energy Act, establishing a publicly owned organisation to bring clean energy and cheaper bills to British consumers and industry ย  ๐Ÿ  The Renters Rights Act, providing renters with security and dignity in housing by outlawing no-fault evictions amongst other protections for private renters ย  ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง’โ€๐Ÿง’ The Removal of Two Child Limit Act, bringing 450,000 children out of poverty and providing security to working families by removing the arbitrary two-child benefit cap. ย  ๐ŸŒŠThe Water (Special Measures) Act, reversing the Tory decline in environmental standards and accountability in the water industry, empowering consumers and holding water bosses to account. ย  ๐Ÿ‘ฎThe Crime and Policing Bill, tackling violence against women and girls, anti-social behaviour and retail crime, whilst rebuilding public confidence in policing and the wider criminal justice system. ย  ๐Ÿ˜๏ธ The English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill, making good on our promise to give back control to local communities and provide mayors with unprecedented powers to deliver growth. ย  Labour promised to rebuild our country, and that is exactly what we are delivering. Lots done and lots more to do to restore pride in Britain.

EXCL: Police are assessing evidence about donations to Robert Jenrickโ€™s campaign to become Tory leader in 2024 after a referral from the elections watchdog. Information was passed on by Electoral Commission, which is understood to have been investigating allegations that almost ยฃ40,000 of donations to his leadership campaign before he defected to Reform UK, were from foreign source in breach of electoral rules.

I was sceptical that any party political broadcast could shock me. Iโ€™ve seen it all before and so on. But Iโ€™m still spooked by this. In the end itโ€™s all about the character of Reform, their leading members and the kind of things they not only believe but say. Do watch

Bad Writing Takes ๐Ÿ–Š๏ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ
So to be clear, the BBC and ITV are censoring a political advert because the Reform politicians being *quoted* are too offensive to be broadcast, and therefore their words must be hidden from the public? This is just the BBC helping out Farage again isn't it?
Politics UK@PolitlcsUK

๐Ÿšจ NEW: The BBC and ITV have ordered Labour to tone down its party political broadcast after deeming it too offensive The ad contained remarks from Reform UK figures including a former council leader who called London a "third world s---hole" run by a "narcissistic Pakistani"

Do you think the Labour Party getting net migration down from 649,000 year ending June 2024 to 204,000 year ending June 2025 a 69% decrease that returns net migration to levels seen in the 2010s has been a fantastic achievement?๐Ÿค” Repost after voting please.
