Reform UK’s #Makerfield candidate Rob Kenyon is being paid £14,822 per year now he’s a Wigan Councillor.
He’s not even turned up to sign in, not attended a council meeting and hasn’t even bothered to post a single thing advocating for his ward.
Voted for Rob Kenyon as councillor? He conned you.

Why doesn’t Farage sit down with a low paid care worker, look them in the eye and tell them the truth.
He voted against a ban on zero hours contracts.
Against sick pay from Day 1.
Against protections from fire & rehire.
He’s not a friend of workers - he’s a political fraud.
‘Behind the “guy with a pint in the pub”, this is a man who consistently voted against the interests of working people.’
Trade Union Head Paul Nowak tells @AndrewMarr9 he finds Reform's 'party for the working class' image 'laughable'.

Mick Lynch repeatedly humiliates Reform UK's Laila Cunningham
She then accuses Mick Lynch and Labour of spreading lies to "win the argument" denying that Nigel Farage wants an insurance-based NHS
Here are two clips of Nigel Farage saying,
1. He doesn't want the NHS funded through general taxation
2. He wants an insurance-based system for the NHS

🚨 This was the moment Jeremy Hunt had no answer.
@mehdirhasan “The two biggest hits to UK growth in the last 10–15 years were brought about by Tory governments: austerity and Brexit.”
@Jeremy_Hunt “Covid, the global financial crisis, Ukraine?”
Mehdi: “They were global issues. I’m talking about ones we did to ourselves.”
That’s the point. Britain cannot keep blaming the world for wounds it inflicted on itself.

You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts.
You voted against banning fire and rehire.
You voted against day one sick pay for workers.
You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.
Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.
You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.

Good news in case you missed it.
Figures soon to be released will show that Makerfield’s air quality is now meeting legal standards.
So no Clean Air Zone - not now, not ever!

Now Vance has joined in the US/MAGA disinformation campaign around British "two-tier policing", here's the EU DisinfoLab matrix of FIMI activities - I've highlighted every technique encountered from Farage, Robinson and their MAGA backers around the Southampton riot... 1/2

It's not just the exploitation of a tragedy.
JD Vance's picture of Britain - where migrants have led to a crime surge - is the opposite of the truth.

Times columnist Fraser Nelson pointed out over the weekend that new Home Office statistics paint a striking picture: net migration has fallen dramatically since Labour entered government, now sitting around 80 per cent below the record highs reached under the Conservatives.
And it is not just the headline figure shifting. Remove international students from the equation and long-term immigration levels are now “probably at a multi-year low”, Nelson wrote on his Substack — a remarkable turnaround after years of Tory chaos, broken promises and soaring numbers.
The asylum backlog is also being rapidly reduced under Labour. After ballooning in the aftermath of Covid while successive Conservative ministers appeared paralysed and unwilling to grip the crisis, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has begun making serious progress in clearing the system.
Away from the Westminster psychodrama and endless Reform stunts, an uncomfortable reality is emerging for Labour’s opponents: the Government may quietly be delivering results where the Tories failed for years.

“Intensely private” but seeks to have a major impact on the British public with his millions
Sorry - that won’t wash
A mystery moneyman's donations could carry Nigel Farage to power. He lives in Thailand and is “intensely private”. I’ve spent months investigating who he is, what he wants and his crypto fortune. Here, for the first time, is the story of Chris Harborne theguardian.com/politics/202…

Please enjoy this video from last year in which Richard Tice opines liberally about Angela Rayner’s tax affairs and calls for her departure. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before he applies this very strict moral principle to his own tax arrangements.

Our new report: Richard Tice signed accounts wrongly claiming £98,000 of tax exemptions
A 🧵 with the evidence:
ALT What should have happened: the REIT paid no tax but the Tice companies holding shares in the REIT paid £98k tax on the dividends they received. What actually happened: none of the companies paid any tax.
Labour Business retweeted
🚨Sunday Times investigation today:
Richard Tice’s companies appear to have failed to pay £100,000+ in corporation tax on profits, while funnelling over £1 million in donations to Reform UK.
Tice calls it a “technicality” but critics say it looks like aggressive tax avoidance benefiting both him personally and his party.
The party that campaigns hardest against the establishment and tax avoidance now finds itself accused of exactly that.
