When they couldn’t take the heat, they literally got out of the kitchen. Thin skinned much?
BREAKING All of the Reform UK MPs have just walked out of PMQs. Watch now on @GBNEWS.

The Reform model:
👍 expressly promise to cut council tax if elected
👍 expressly promise to create a “DOGE” to find waste and cut spending
👍 Get elected
👍 Find no waste whatsoever, “DOGE” disbanded weeks after it starts
👍 Raise council taxes
👍 Give yourself a pay rise
Members of the Reform-led Kent County Council have awarded themselves a 3.8% increase in wages.

Robert Jenrick has gone from Shadow Justice Minister to gameshow host in just 2 months.
By the way, if you’re angry about Ed getting paid to make sure his son had a stable and comfortable future you’ll be absolutely furious to discover who the top paid MP was last year.
Yeah, also Farage.
Ed Davey has to give up his second job, that he was using to put money aside for the future for his son who will need a carer 24/7 after public pressure. Farage gets 27k to fly to Mar a Lago and no one bats an eyelid. I hate it.
This week the chancellor and the Prime Minister both told the UK they would stop petrol stations from profiting and taking advantage of the Iran war. Meanwhile my local petrol station has jumped 7p a gallon in 10 days. So…at what point does our govt think we are being scammed.
You won’t believe which government decommissioned and sold our gas storage.
We are facing an energy crisis.
Britain is the worst exposed in Europe with only 2 days gas supply stored.
If only we had our own gas to exploit.
Or our own oil.
Or our own coal….
Blame @Ed_Miliband
So, as the PM can call an election whenever these days, if I’m on holiday when the election happens, I can’t vote? What if you’re working all day?what then? Awwh sucks for you? Democracy denied and all that. What a load of rubbish.
Our electoral system needs reform, we must scrap postal voting unless absolutely necessary, and we must enforce the right to a secret ballot.
If nothing changes, I fear for the future of British democracy. telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2026…

Congratulations to Matt Goodwin on his appointment as Shadow MP for Gorton and Denton.
Ha. Thank you Ed for the chuckle
💥BREAKING NEWS💥
@RobertJenrick has defected to @TheGreenParty following their win in Gorton and Denton.
Jenrick is alleged to have justified his second defection in as many months by telling voters: “I’ve always been a vegan.”
Most of your MPs did, actually
Nobody voted for the Boriswave.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Five out of the eight current Reform MPs were Conservative MPs under Boris Johnson and some voted for Johnson’s immigration policies.

Today’s righteous injustice? That they are FINALLY doubling Mat pay for female teachers (no, Pat leave is still two weeks at £183 a week). At the department of education THAT MANAGES EVERY SCHOOL - Civil servants get 6 months full pay. Furious.
I know I’m getting baited and it’s all a dumb ploy to get us talking about them BUT ONE OF THEM ISN’T EVEN AN MP
Meet Reform UK‘s first 4 Shadow Cabinet members. ✅
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
There is no Reform UK Shadow Cabinet. The Shadow Cabinet is only for the official opposition party, which at this time is the Conservatives.

You can’t just announce shadow positions when you aren’t the official opposition.
We are proud to announce that @RobertJenrick will be assuming the position of Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Reform UK Shadow Cabinet. 🇬🇧

A bunch of students in a debate society is not a threat to free speech. A political party threatening the funding of the entire university because they won't platform one of their MPs is a huge danger to free speech.
"I want to go to Bangor University" said nobody ever. Especially if Bangor University is stripped of government funding and student loan facilities by @reformparty_uk Is that "in line with your values," poppets?
