"I am standing aside so that Andy Burnham can return to his home."

We look forward to the Makerfield by-election. Reform will throw absolutely everything at it.

Safe in the knowledge that some is bound to stick.

Keir Starmer will not seek to block Andy Burnham from becoming the Labour candidate in Makerfield, the BBC understands.

No10 has indicated to Labour MPs that it will not seek to block Burnham.

An ally of Starmer says: "Keir is focused on bringing the party together so it can tackle the issues facing working families.”

Any party that instinctively goes into coalition with the Greens to prop up a Green administration is an enemy of the British people.

That’s why the destruction of the Tory Party is a necessary precondition of the thriving of our country

I thought you were a journalist. Are you confused by how it works?

Listen everyone. THIS is what @Nigel_Farage is putting up with. Much of it from The Guardian, which will stop at pretty much nothing to damage him. It is ALL the time!

My security team just found a journalist from The Guardian at my property.

This is exactly why I need security.

So not for security?

Reward for Brexit, doesn’t sound like a bribe at all does it?

WATCH: Nigel Farage says the £5m gift he received from Christopher Harborne was a "reward for campaigning for Brexit for 27 years"

And that means he doesn't have to report it because...?

 

[Andy_Ross]

He's admitted it was for services rendered.

And that means he doesn't have to report it because...?

It's not in the public interest and it was just an oversight

 

[jimbob]

It's not in the public interest and it was just an oversight

And anyway, Starmer got a suit

Reform denies weak vetting after new councillor revealed to be Cenobite from the Realm of Suffering

Reform has strongly refuted claims that its local election candidates were poorly vetted, following revelations that newly elected Essex County councillor Darren Pinhead was an extra-dimensional de…

I'm somewhat confused that there seems to be any question about whether Faraj should have declared the gift. Aren't the guidlines very clear on this?

https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5803/cmcode/1083/report.html

It was a gift FFS, should a prospective MP have to declare every, coffee, donut, packet of crisps or £5million bung from a crypto billionaire whose company they'll coincidentally promote they happen to be given?

Completely unacceptable

That admission isn't even an accusation!

 

[Mongrel]

That admission isn't even an accusation!

It's just more weasel wording. Nothing he said is untrue but there's some load-bearing implications going on for the gammons to parrot.
He's also, probably, hoping someone does call him on it so he can get one over on them with an "Akshually I never said that"

The Tories are being mean to us

This is incredible.

In Worcestershire, the Tories have teamed up with the Greens to topple the minority Reform administration and replace it with a Green-led rainbow coalition.

Read that again.

This is who the Tories are when you elect them.

Open borders green lunatics.

Just as they colluded with Labour to try and cancel elections for millions in places like Essex (where they were then demolished), they will tirelessly against secure borders, law and order and all the things their former voters wanted from them.

That’s why they’re headed for oblivion.

Hi Zia! Reform wouldn't have any representation but for the failed Tories who joined. So if the Tories get wiped out, so will you. Cheers!
