General UK politics VIII - The Last Tory

It's OK to joke about Spode and his Black Shorts but the Hitler Youth also wore them.

They became the The 12th SS Division Hitlerjugend

It didn't end well for them. Smashed by the British at Caen.

Fanatics to the end

Crafty seems to have removed all mention of being a Reform member and councillor from his X account header and bio, but his posts still bang the Reform drum.
Strange

It seems two Reform councillors where involved in the assaults at the Reform conference.

URGENT ANSWERS NEEDED

It has been reported that Cllr Justin Bellhouse and @ReformBracknell Chair Malcolm Tullett were among those violently removing a protester from Reform's conference

Burnham would rather fund welfare for foreigners than Britain's national security.

Our armed forces lie in tatters thanks to the Tories and Labour.

Reform will rebuild them

I’m delighted this is happening.
Without it, the story would have had the potential to be raised over and over and used against @reformparty_uk A police investigation is the only way to clear the air and prove the C4 allegations are untrue

How have we ended up here?

The RNLI is reviewing its security procedures to ensure the safety of its members.

As part of this, volunteers have been told to consider not wearing RNLI branded clothing in some circumstances while representing the charity

RNLI reviews security after protests in Dover and Portsmouth

Volunteers were targeted online after it assisted in the rescue of people crossing the Channel on Sunday.

Jenrick on Talk TV says the pensioner should be given a medal for hitting the protester with his stick and feels sorry for him

An elected MP to doubles down on a position which effectively endorses violence towards women is quite astonishing.
How can he ever use the “protect our women and girls” platitude again?.

I wonder what's going to happen with the beach lifeguards?

Talking of which:

Protesters outside Portsmouth hotel confuse Pakistan U-19 cricket team for asylum-seekers

Anti-immigration protesters gathered outside a Portsmouth hotel were forced to cancel their demonstration after discovering the Pakistan Under-19 cricket team rather than a group of asylum seekers were staying there

Saw that last night. Far right parties always dredge up the worst of the worst.

I reckon he's not thought this one through: he is starting a fight with one of the most consistently right wing and fascist adjacent media organisations in the country, who have the resources to take him to the cleaners, and he seems to think this is a good idea.

He's probably hoping they'll capitulate on the grounds that he's too important to the movement.

When it's their money, I doubt it.

Todays Gammon outrage

Funding defense and benefits is treason.

Of course every single one of them not a bot will scream blue bloody murder if benefits are actually slashed.

Pleased to speak with Gideon Sa’ar. I emphasised the Falklands issue to him and its importance to the British people, though I understand Israel’s relationship with President Milei.
A Reform government would undo the damage caused by Labour

Yes, just like Israel, Fromage has an all too cozy relationship with nazis.

A Sky News investigation has revealed the dramatic inside story of the chaos within Reform's flagship northern council in Durham. Watch the full investigation live on The Cathy Newman Show [last night]

Full report on YouTube

In response to Sky's investigation, a Reform UK spokesman said:
"This reporting by Sky News is misleading and malicious. Taking the opinions and testimonies of former Reform councillors who have been suspended for bullying and employing illegal workers as fact is not serious journalism.

"Unfortunately, this is par for the course for Sky who are currently being investigated by Ofcom for harassing Nigel Farage's daughter at her own home.

"Despite the best efforts of now suspended councillors to distract us, Reform's record at Durham Council has been one of success. We delivered one of the lowest council tax rates in the country and saved Durham residents tens of millions of pounds in renegotiated contracts."

Met Police investigation in to Reform is progressing.

“Is that him?”
“Yeah, the guy in the ridiculous trousers scoffing oysters. Nick him, George.”

Durham is etched on my heart. It runs through my family tree, through the pits my grandfathers went down and the terraces my mam raised me in. Serving this county isn't a job to me. It's both an honour and a privilege.

So forgive me if I don't take lectures on "chaos" from a London studio that spent a week with the people we suspended and called it journalism

 

[Andy_Ross]

I don't think that's true Darren.

Sly News is doing so poorly against GB News that they’re being taken OFF of television and going online only. I can only imagine what they’ll call themselves, how about ‘BASH REFORM 24/7’.

Don't listen to what the people who actually know what's going on say. Pass me that small onion and listen to this sentimental old flannel. I've got it down pat.
