Tory source: "Nadhim asked for a peerage several times. Given he was sacked for his dodgy tax affairs, this was never going to happen. His defection tells you everything you need to know about Reform being a repository for disgraced politicians."

I don't want an entertainer,I want a serious,credible person as our PM. We've had enough of the scruffy buffoon Johnson,the lunatic Truss & their supporters. Keir Starmer has been magnificent on the world stage, he is exactly who we need right now as PM in the serious times.

BREAKING: Labour's landmark Employment Rights Bill has PASSED both Houses of Parliament. The new rights in this Bill will be transformational, putting power back into the hands of working people. This is a massive step forward in delivering Labour's New Deal for Working People - passed by a Labour Government, delivered with the labour movement. Time to celebrate 🎉

As Deputy Prime Minister, I’m focused on delivering for the British people and I tend to ignore the noise. But in the past week I’ve been sent stories about: – A Reform mayoral candidate telling me to “go home” to the Caribbean where he said my “loyalties lie”. – A Reform councillor’s TikTok account endorsing a comment calling me a “greedy none (sic) thoroughbred”. – A Reform council leader referring to me saying “no foreign national or first-generation migrant should be allowed to sit in Parliament” - apparently unaware I’m a British citizen born in North London. I will never be cowed by racism. But I will call it what it is. @Nigel_Farage, you need to clean up your party and stamp out this 1950s-style hate.

Rachel Reeves has today done more to transform the lives of 450,000 of Britain’s poorest children than any of the seven previous Conservative chancellors, who, in 14 long years, did nothing but harm to the lives of vulnerable children. newstatesman.com/politics/uk…

All Reform's funding must now come under urgent scrutiny. 🇬🇧
Nigel Farage must allow an independent investigation into Reform UK so the British public can be assured that all links to Putin's barbaric regime are rooted out.

Whoever is Reform spokesman on Farage & Dulwich isn't credible. It's not one person's word against another, but one against more than 12. If you were a Jewish schoolboy & someone said Hitler was right, you should be gassed, & made a hiss, you'd remember it for ever - vividly.

Turns out Starmer was right in calling for a circuit break in October 2020. Lives could have been saved and as, Baroness Hallett points out, we might have avoided the damaging second lockdown. If only Johnson had listened. Instead he called Starmer Captain Hindsight!
