Reform are coming under scrutiny for broken local election promises to 'cut taxes' - and Farage doesn't like it

Rarely do my Lists demonstrate the huge benefits of this Labour Government more than this one. Such improvements, based on facts and evidence cannot be disputed.

I congratulate our Government.

Yesterday, Jeffrey Epstein's former account testified, under oath, that the Epstein Estate paid a settlement to one of the women accusing Donald Trump of raping her as a minor, AFTER Epstein had died.

This would end any other President instantly. But the press doesn't care.

Threat assessment centre launched to protect election candidates from abuse The government has launched a national police unit and threat assessment centre to protect election candidates from abuse.

Ahead of the May elections, the government has announced the creation of a threat assessment centre and a new national police unit dedicated to tackling threats and harassment against those standing for public office

Daily Telegraph 24 December 2024 6:00pm GMT Farage: I'm willing to help Mandelson secure free trade deals with Trump Reform UK leader tells The Telegraph he is ready to use contacts with incoming US administration to help efforts to avoid trade tariffs [Photo of NF pointing, captioned "Nigel Farage said he would support the national interest regardless of party politics"] Nigel Farage has said he could help Lord Mandelson in his attempts to secure free trade deals with Donald Trump's administration... archive.ph/JZpsH

Mr Farage suggested that negotiations over any free trade deal were likely to be done sector by sector, adding: "There has to be a proper negotiation around tariffs and trade. The opportunity for sectoral free trade relationships is very, very high." Agriculture, in particular, would be tough, he forecast, suggesting that negotiations should start with financial and City regulation. "I believe I can help with that, and I do come from a business background," he said. "I would help even if it is to the Government's benefit because it is in the national interest. But they are so split they might not want to take up my offer." He added: "I have very good trusting relationships with President Trump but perhaps more important than that, a lot of the members of the president's cabinet are friends of mine, and many of them long-term friends. I know a lot of these people who are going to take very serious positions in areas that matter to Britain." Mr Farage cited Seb Gorka, a Right-wing media commentator who has been handed a senior national security post, with whom he said he had been friends for more than a decade. No 10 has refused to be drawn on whether Lord Mandelson should engage with Mr Farage as he takes up his new post in Washington. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/12/24/farage-willing-help-mandelson-secure-free-trade-deals-trump/

I quite like how Nigel Farage said he'd help Peter Mandelson when he was appointed as US Ambassador, on account of being so well connected with the Trump Administration for so long.

Not a mention of Epstein then, even though you know Farage knew.

Ethics and Integrity Commission to review lobbying, disclosure and access to government The Prime Minister has today asked the Ethics and Integrity Commission to carry out a review into lobbying, disclosure and access to government.

This is a hugely welcome step from the PM and @darrenpjones.bsky.social. Pleased to see gvt moving forward on driving up standards in public life.

That means closing loopholes in our lobbying and transparency rules to restore trust in politics as a force for good.

Because our media are incompetent or terrified of the US and their flying monkeys.

TAT: [Corruption]

They’re all mad. I can’t imagine how the sane Americans are feeling, it’s bad enough for the rest of the ‘sane world’ bizarre.

Churchillian.

They estimate Boris Johnson’s decisions throughout Covid resulted in 22,000+ unnecessary deaths.

Throughout his time the media had a love in with him.

Starmer appointed Mandleson. For right reasons. But it was wrong. He’s apologised.

Media hysterically demand he resign

Retweet

Mason's disappointment is palpable.

Where was Farage’s closest aide and Reform UK Welsh leader Nathan Gill heading when he was arrested for taking bribes from Putin’s pal Medvedchuk?

To a Kremlin sponsored conference in Moscow, to talk about the role of crypto currencies in politics

The warnings are there for us all to see

1 in 8 young people under the Tories where not in employment, education or Training, something Tory MP Gagan Mohindra seems to have forgotten about.

Labour are putting in place the youth guarantee which will help & support young people into work or training.

BREAKING: “After 9 days of saying join the war join the war join the war yesterday she’s says I never said we should join the war”

Prime minister Keir Starmer accuses Kemi Badenoch of “the mother of all u-turns”
#PMQs

Keir Starmer calls out Kemi Badenoch's u-turn on Iran.

Starmer: "In the wake of the economic consequences, the leader of the opposition totally abandoned her position."

New polls seem to be a little better for labour and that’s without media help. Odds checker were giving 8/1 that Starmer would not be prime minister at the next general elections it’s now 5/1. As we know it’s not over until the fat lady sings and I’m not singing yet.

What worries me about Zack’s populist green posture is that it does seem to be attracting the worst of the Corbyn fans and they will negatively effect any movement they’re associated with

I’m quite aware of the reasons we have a backlog and very aware of the distress it causes. Get a grip.

Some of you greens are so militant, no critical thinking skills.

No one wants a pay drop, including lawyers.

There are a few labour MPs who would fit in very nicely with the Greens or Your Party, don’t think the majority of labour would mind very much.

Our PM right. Again.

I believe sadly the figures are a lot worse than 7. But all those innocents dying is criminal. Trumps a monster

Then you must have misunderstood either mistakenly or on purpose.
