Making it up as they go along.
🚨 Reform UK is in crisis. Again. Just hours after a row over a proposed burqa ban, party chairman Zia Yusuf has quit. He says it’s no longer worth trying to get Reform elected. If Farage’s own chairman has lost faith, why should voters back them?

Former leader of Reform UK in Wales Nathan Gill bribed by Russia, court hears bbc.in/41sspVg
Enough talking, it’s time to act! 1. Let’s finance our aid for Ukraine from the Russian frozen assets. 2. Let’s strengthen air policing, the Baltic sentry and the EU borders with Russia. 3. Let’s swiftly adopt new fiscal rules to finance the EU security and defence. Now!
Reform UK Tyne & Wear. People calling out hotels they suspect of housing migrants. Disgusting. Shut that group down.
