β€˜Is calling Kemi Badenoch a β€œNigerian scammer” racist, yes or no?’ β€˜β€¦I’m not on your show to talk about what a journalist has tweeted.’ Reform's Robert Jenrick refuses to engage with @Lewis_Goodall's question about Raheem Kassam's comments on the Tory leader.

This is a daft non-story. Redeployment policies make use of staff with experience and expertise even while their posts may change. They are doing work that needs doing. heraldscotland.com/news/2666…

Sadly it’s not just the cabinet Labour is a shadow of the party it was and has moved far from its founding principles Now a party of betrayals, lies and broken promises @ScottishLabour @ScotLabCllrs

A former Tory election candidate has been suspended from the party after he was seemingly filmed discussing the cost of hiring contract killers and offering to β€œbroker” the services of a far-right activist with alleged paramilitary links. By @BenQuinn75 theguardian.com/politics/202…

You must be so proud of Labour as it is today @ScottishLabour @ScotLabCllrs
Former intelligence officer Mike Tapp was funded by serial pro-Israeli lobbyist Stuart Roden. Three days after he was elected, the Guardian described him one of β€œfive fresh Labour MPs to watch”. Five months later, he was announced as a Labour Friends of Israel vice-chair.

β€œHave you spoken to any Palestinian organizations before you wrote your letter?” @ShehabKhan presses Labour MP Mike Tapp who reported the Green Party over its Zionism motion about whether he’s ever spoken to any Palestinians. Tapp: β€œI don’t know any Palestinian people.”

The β€œprivate security team” the Reform council hired under the guise of keeping women safe, have assaulted two teen girls by HANDCUFFING them despite having zero lawful right to do so. So the only notable thing that Operation Vanguard has done is *checks notes* assault girls.

EXCL: Nigel Farage’s newest billionaire donor was in business with a powerful Iranian religious foundation under the authority of the country’s supreme leader, raising questions about his past dealings with the hardline republic. Hossein Ghandehari, also called Sasan, was little known in the UK until he pledged to give millions to Reform UK this summer and donated Β£50,000 to Farage to cover the cost of two passes for the Davos World Economic Forum.

Hi @IsabelOakeshott the @PrivateEyeNews revealed today you head a UAE company conducting unregistered lobbying activities in UK on behalf of African countries and that it involved British politicians (your husband included). Home Office unaware. Care to comment?

Breaking news; The Scotland office (UK Government) has blocked me from commenting on their blatant attempt to muscle in on the SNP Scottish governments success of Prestwick Airport by reporting that they have invested 18.5 million, Typical labour fraudsters.

πŸš¨πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Turning Point UK's CEO was filmed offering an undercover reporter a menu of beatings, stabbings and killings through a Glasgow contact who says he arms the UVF Al Jazeera’s undercover operation started in 2021 when a reporter joined the British offshoot of the American student group. Its CEO Jack Ross, a Conservative candidate in 2023, introduced the reporter to Allan Nesbitt, a convicted criminal and self-described UVF member, agreed on camera to pay him to stage a fake pro-Zimbabwe rally, and priced out what Nesbitt’s friends could do to a person, from cutting faces to MURDER. The UVF is the Ulster Volunteer Force, a Protestant loyalist paramilitary from Northern Ireland’s Troubles that killed over 500 people between 1966 and 1999, including 33 in one day in the Dublin and Monaghan bombings, and is still banned as a terror group. Since the peace deal it has run mostly as a drug gang that kept the name and the guns. Nesbitt reportedly met the reporter in a London hotel, offered to have a fictional business rival β€œfinished,” claimed he’d personally stabbed a man to death, showed a shotgun and pistol on a video call and said the fee would buy weapons smuggled from Scotland into Northern Ireland. Ross says it was a joke. The joke came with a price list, a weapons demo and a smuggling route, and the police now have a name and a video... and wasn't particularly funny. Somebody in Turning Point UK’s donor base should be asking when the fundraising dinners turned into this. Source: Al Jazeera / Writer: Daniel
