When they point to Zia as evidence Reform isn't racist, look at things like this. Zia is Muslim but is stirring up islamophobic culture wars with lies.
These loans are open to any eligible student, and replace interest with fees that can work out the same or more than interest.
The news that British Universities will offer interest free loans to muslim students is outrageous.
Literally the definition of ‘two-tier’.
Labour will push this through - but it’s crucial to note that this outrageous scheme was first concocted by THE TORIES.
It was Prime Minister David Cameron who declared:
"Never again should a Muslim in Britain feel unable to go to university because they cannot get a Student Loan - simply because of their religion."
He began a formal consultation which resulted in new powers put into the Higher Education and Research Act 2017.
In 2023 the Tory government published a detailed policy paper confirming the new Islamic approach.
As usual, the Tories start the fire, and Labour pour petrol on it.
This is why the Tories must never be forgiven.
We do not want to live in a two tier society.
Reform will stop this madness.

When women tried to speak out about Walliams, they were silenced by lawyers and intimidated.
We need to end these tactics so women can no longer be silenced by rich and powerful men. We're working with brave women speaking up, support them 👇 🌟

🚨 NEW: A second unnamed male celebrity has secured an injunction stopping him from being named over sexual abuse allegations
@AlexDaviesJones and @ShabanaMahmood need to change the law to stop super injunctions in all but the most extreme cases, limit injunctions and prevent them or NDAs preventing any allegations of criminality, especially abuse and rape. Why protect them?!

Impunity.
‘Seemingly’ powerful men using their wealth, influence and status to abuse women & girls has devastatingly occurred for millennia.
Their horrific crimes hidden and protected because of ‘who they were/are’.
Enough!
Proud of all those victims refusing to stay silent

Let's hope @AlexDaviesJones stands behind her statements and changes laws fast - and in the mean time uses Parliamentary Privilege to break any injunctions and super injunctions from anyone the public is still at risk from. It's disgusting our courts shield men like that.

7 members of the Rochdale grooming gang sent to prison this year. Their crimes were committed over 20 years ago and they were convicted on the testimonies of their victims. No DNA, no videos, but testimony and witness statements. I haven’t seen anyone have an issue with that one.

“But there was no evidence Russell Brand did any of this!”
The evidence:
- 100+ witnesses traced & interviewed.
- 400+ witness statements taken.
- 1,400+ documents examined.
- independent accounts from four different women.
- Supporting testimony from friends, colleagues, family & his own former PA.
- Consistent disclosures made years earlier.
- Brand’s own admissions of using fame for sexual access.
He faced a trial and the jury convicted him of 4/7 counts. He was sentenced to 10 years.
If that isn’t enough “evidence” to convince you of a man’s guilt, consider that you belong in prison with him. 🫶
Seeing Russell Brand's Dad suggesting the jury is corrupt, and Brand is the victim and not those he rapes and assaulted - it's easy to see how Brand grew up such a vile, abusive and entitled sex pest.
He's found guilty by a jury of his peers, and locked up. There is no doubt.

Hilarious
BREAKING: Trump may have accidentally chosen the wrong Dana White for his White House Press Secretary offer.
There is a woman named "Dana White" who is the former Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, more commonly known as the Pentagon's chief spokesperson, from April 2017 to the end of 2018.
She briefed the press from the Pentagon podium, and served as the principal media adviser and communications lead for the Secretary of Defense. She also was a Fox News publicist and worked at the conservative Heritage Foundation. She even started her career as a press secretary for the House Republican Conference.
Someone at the White House likely recommended her to Trump and he thought they meant UFC CEO Dana White, then went ahead and announced it on Truth Social thinking it's his UFC friend, and nobody around him was willing to correct him.
Furthermore, Trump is actively searching for a new press secretary after Karoline Leavitt left and Katie Zacharia lasted five days, so names are being pitched to him right now.
Per CNN, UFC's Dana White has declined the offer, and one aide now claims Trump was "joking."

Another thought on this-
Imagine if the Rwanda scheme had got to the point where it was fully up and running, worked well, and the result was a 48% reduction.
People on the right would have been hailing this as a huge success and evidence the scheme was working.
Imagine if a Reform government got into power and achieved a 48% reduction. People would be shouting about it all the time, and calling for Farage to be knighted as sir Author of Gammonlot.
It happens under labour - crickets

Whilst Nigel Farage tries to distance himself from Trump and his Iran war, let’s not forget his support for Trump and his Iran war.
It's almost like the @Conservatives, and their ministers like @SuellaBraverman and @RobertJenrick deliberately stalled the whole asylum and returns system to cause a problem they could try to use to divide the country... or do they claimto just be incompetent?
Oh look labour were returning people who failed asylum proceedings in 2010 and it steadily dropped under the Tories for a decade.
Oh look Labour are returning failed asylum seekers again. Competence not propaganda from Labour.
