@CPhilpOfficial Then you and your Government are deliberately forcing people to take such routes because you are denying them the safe routes that should be in place. Stop pandering to the Faragists and ERG.

@SaulStaniforth That is the most #AlanPartridge piece of telly presenting I have ever seen - even from @stevecoogan65.

@Otto_English It’s an important point. The BBC “normalised” Farridge by platforming him on QT so often. Last night’s episode had 2xTories, plus SNP, Lab and Joe Stiglitz. No LibDem. No Green. It’s blatant. And it’s wrong.

@CPhilpOfficial Here’s the occasion when you were caught lying on national television 16 times in just 90 seconds, Chris….So another lie now probably doesn’t matter much to you:. #Croydon @RMTunion @LeftUnityParty @chunkymark.

@Otto_English Winston McKenzie pulled a stunt in 2016 after crowdfunding his £20,000 deposit to stand as a candidate for the English Democrats. His nomination forms were not complete. No one really knows what happened to all that cash… He certainly didn’t refund the public:.
