Will the UK 🇬🇧 media now stop pretending Farage & his Reform company are a party of the disillusioned working class & start asking him why he’s being financed by billionaire Nazis ? Or can’t they do that because they’re financed by billionaire Nazis too 🥴 ?.

AfD is a German far right party. They're Nazis who can't say they're Nazis because of restrictions under German law. Glad we can finally stop dancing around what Musk's politics really are.

The British people are compassionate. We will always support those who are genuinely homeless. But we cannot allow our streets to be taken over by rows of tents occupied by people, many of them from abroad, living on the streets as a lifestyle choice. 1/4.

Can you spare some more disgust for Rishi Sunak ? He appointed her less than a week after she was forced to resign for breaking the ministerial code / security lapse . That puts Sunak in the rare & weird position of having less integrity than Liz Truss 😳#ToriesUnfitToGovern.
