This man is not a leader, he’s just chucked all the Reform staff under the bus. He will literally blame anyone but himself when things go wrong. Obviously not a fan of Truman’s “the buck stops here” adage.

When it comes to the next GE, a lot of people will be asking themselves 2 questions. 1. Do I feel better off now than I did before the last GE? 2. Which party leader do I think has a real plan to fix things? The answer for most to number 1 is a thumping no and it’s becoming clearer and clearer every day that the only party leader with a plan for our country and who can beat Labour is Kemi Badenoch. If you want to beat Labour at the next GE then it’s a vote for the Conservatives. 🗳️🔵
Party Leader Satisfaction Ratings: Kemi Badenoch (CON): 35% (+7) Andy Burnham (LAB): 35% (+4) Nigel Farage (REF): 22% (-2) Ed Davey (LDM): 20% (-3) Zack Polanski (GRN): 17% (-1) via @Ipsos_in_the_UK, 15-22 Oct (Changes with 15 Sep)

I always thought of Danny as an honourable man. He is choosing to sacrifice that reputation on the altar of Reform blind loyalty.
🚨 COMING UP: Reform UK's Danny Kruger REFUSES to condemn high-profile Reformer's 'disgusting slur' towards Kemi Badenoch... You won't want to miss this... 🎧 Tune in from 4:30pm with @CamillaTominey and @timothy_stanley through the link in our bio

Britain has been taxed too much for too long. Andy Burnham’s answer? More tax. Conservatives will cut taxes, so you can keep more of what you earn.

Ofgem have today revealed that Britain might not have enough gas in a worst case scenario this winter. Burnham says that it's better to produce oil and gas in Britain than importing it. So why is he banning new licences? Here’s the real reason we need to get Britain drilling👇

Absolutely right, the Family Farm Tax has been hugely damaging to our farming communities. Agricultural Property Relief (& Business Property Relief) was introduced to ensure that family farms and businesses don’t have to be broken up just to pay Inheritance Tax. Axe the Family Farm Tax.
It’s time for @AndyBurnham to do the right thing, and Axe the Family Farm Tax. 🚜

Criminals should be behind bars, not released early because prisons are full. We have a plan to build 50,000 new prison places and end Labour’s early release.

Does anyone happen to know when the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner might be announcing the outcome of their investigation? I wonder if Nigel knows 🤔
This Community Fund will make a real difference to Clacton. A local committee will decide where the money is allocated, ensuring it reaches the charities and people who need it most. Read my letter to the people of Clacton. 👇

“Years”, you only joined the party in January.
The government copying Reform’s policy. Let’s see the details and the outcomes, but we have been arguing for this for years.

Cue an exodus of small buy to let landlords leaving the market, a very silly policy that won’t work in the long run.
This Labour government’s transformative Renters’ Rights Act empowers private renters to challenge unreasonable rent increases. If a tenant believes a proposed rent increase is above the open-market rent, they can refer the matter to the First-tier Tribunal. In a recent case in Manchester where the Landlord proposed an increase in rent from £1,650 per calendar month to £1,700, the Tribunal determined the open market rent was actually £1,450 per calendar month. We’re standing up for renters and our reforms are working. gov.uk/residential-property-…

Tax rises are indeed imminent, nobody in the Labour government seems prepared to say to people government can’t do everything and nor should it. We need tax cuts AND cuts to spending.
Borrowing up. Inflation up. Labour have lost control of the economy. And in next week's Budget, you'll pay for it.

After months of dithering and delay, Conservative pressure has finally forced Labour to approve Jackdaw. This should be the start, not the end. Labour must approve Rosebank, end the ban on new drilling licences, and scrap the Energy Profits Levy

If Reform had a Defence Spokesperson they’d have realised that we announced our tax-free reserve service pledge in June.
As @Nigel_Farage has announced in Plymouth, under a Reform government those in our Armed Forces Reserves will pay no tax whatsoever on their service to our country 🇬🇧

Top tip - people who work won’t generally be attending Reform rallies at 2.30pm on a Tuesday afternoon, they’ll, you know, be at work

Utter madness. Family businesses employ 15.8m people and pay £422bn in tax every year. Foolishly, they are being taken for granted.
🚨 Labour are determined to destroy the millions of family businesses across the UK. Most are small businesses that, like farms, are already being crushed. As Chancellor, I would back our family businesses. We Conservatives will scrap Labour’s Family Business Death Tax.

Like failing to declare a £5 million cash gift and then having a hissy fit by-election? That kind of slip up…
Ignore the petty booing comment here it was good recovery I think the real question is when can remember @Nigel_Farage making this kind of slip-up?
