This is the point I was making last week. If Nigel Farage doesn’t recognise Kassam’s comments are racist, what was all that stuff over vetting the councillors about. Overt racism is openly accepted within Reform. From the leader down.

So the Chancellor has indicated he is going to increase the minimum wage by nearly 4% In Wednesday’s budget. This is terrible news for employment. If you make it more expensive to employ people, fewer people will be employed. It’s as simple as that.

I’m a cabdriver in London and 3 times this morning passengers have asked me to take them to Selfridges and John Lewis. I say I can’t get them there, they say is it a demo, I say no it’s closed permanently. They decide to go Harrods instead. Business killer.

george washington really crossed a river, fought the british, and then decided the biggest threat to america was the english language.
“we’ll call it a dozen, but only for 12. hamburger has no ham. buffalo wings have no buffalo. and nobody is allowed to ask what’s in a hot dog.”
bro founded a country and immediately made a language-learning app necessary.

Day one of a traffic-free Oxford Street. The traffic hasn't vanished: 200 more cars at rush hour in the side streets, on the Mayor's own modelling. Paul Fisher (@PaulEFishr) on Times Radio. #WestminsterMatters #Westminster #CityThatWorksForAll

Oxford Street a complete mess. Looks like Eastern Europe before the Wall fell. No access for disabled people & I might be able to walk from the circus to Selfridges , but many people can’t. Another Disgrace from our useless Mayor.

Gosh that is embarrassing 😳
It seems to have been a struggle to find volunteers to fill the room for Reform UK’s pre-Budget announcement today. Watch now on @GBNEWS.

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements.
"A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party. We are better than this. We have a responsibility to show it. Today we endorse Democrat Amy Acton for governor." cleveland.com/open/2026/10/w…

Lots of empty seats at this Reform press conference
Pretty much entire audience (except journalists) has been moved behind the stage and even that stand isn’t full
At least one party aide is filling it out

Wes Streeting caved in to the trade unions as Health Seretary.
This is the result: despite taxpayer-funded pay rises, the strikes are continuing.
Only the Conservatives will ban doctors' strikes and put patients and taxpayers first.
