To decide whether a politician is trustworthy, ask yourself, do they serve the public interest or their own self interest. Those that change their colours &amp; therefore their principles, at the drop of a hat, or rejected politicians desperate to get reelected, are wronguns...&amp; Reform is full of them.

Reform highlight the vast cost of UC &amp; draw attention to proposals to cut it from some claimants, but... They don&#39;t mention that many need to claim while working full time just to afford food. That&#39;s because many businesses (&amp; Tory/Reform donors) avoid tax &amp; pay minimum wage to increase profits.

Reform invent scapegoats &amp; bogeymen with which to enrage the gullible. Then, once elected, Reform triumphantly announce they&#39;ve solved the problem they invented. That they only exist in the minds of Reform voters is irrelevant as reality &amp; Reform don&#39;t inhabit the same space. #NeverTrustReform

Imagine you employ a cowboy gardener named Nigel to reform your garden. He imports toxic orange soil from the US, makes you pay extra for sunlight &amp; rain, &amp; destroys the garden but blames the neighbours. &amp; he&#39;s never around to do the work, but always appears when it&#39;s pay day.

If you&#39;re thinking of voting Reform &amp; you or your family receive healthcare or take medicine, think again. Reform will abolish free healthcare. It&#39;s their policy. You&#39;ll need insurance but existing conditions aren&#39;t covered...&amp; you&#39;ll pay the full manufacturer price for meds. Careful what you vote for. #NeverVoteReform

Brexit is magic. Somehow, it made all the wealth vanish into the pockets of the billionaires that conned the public to vote for Brexit... ...plus, it&#39;s consequences hide in plain sight &amp; no one ever mentions the cause or questions how the wealthy got away with the Brexit scam.

A 9th anniversary Brexit analogy. Imagine the deals, benefits &amp; freedoms the EU gave us were represented by a bowl of water. Brexit meant the UK tipped out all of the water &amp; we replaced the bowl with a sieve... ...&amp; ever since, Brexiters have tried to convince us that Brexit still holds water.

Farage: We Brexiters don&#39;t want the UK to make deals with the forins... Also Farage: Why won&#39;t the forins make deals with us... I guess being a two faced grifter makes it easy for Farage to look both ways, hold opposing viewpoints, &amp; simultaneously insist both are his position.

Elected because Tories had created a shambles by neglecting everything they couldn&#39;t cut or steal, Labour inherited debt &amp; failure. So instead of making lives better, they&#39;ve tried, &amp; failed, to be more Tory than the Tories. ...Maybe it&#39;s time Labour were the Labour we wanted when we elected them.

If the sun was shining when Fartage was woken by his alarm clock, he could appear on UK media to claim that, by setting his alarm, he caused the sun to rise... ...&amp; not a single right-wing media hack would call him out for mendacious deception. #NeverTrustARightWingPolitician

Most companies making vast profits also pay their staff pitiful wages. Their staff end up claiming Universal Credit in order to survive. UC is funded from taxation which the greedy companies (&amp; wealthy tax avoiders) avoid paying. Which means we&#39;re subsidising greedy parasites that buy right-wing politicians. Those right-wing politicians scapegoat the poorest &amp; most vulnerable in society to distract people from the inequalities caused by greedy companies &amp; tax...

Right-wing politicians seem perfectly happy to inflict cruelty as a means to subjugate scapegoats, increase their own control &amp; inflate their own personal wealth. Beware those that promote these ideologies... ...for it reveals how little they value your rights...or your freedom
