Also some on here would argue that’s being soft* on asylum seekers… ;)

Looks like Remain's leader is having a hard time of it from the other political parties over Ukraine. This seems to be the party's weak point.

To loud cheers from MPs, Mr Starmer replied: "The mineral deal is not enough on its own. Can I just remind him that Russia is the aggressor, Zelensky is a war leader whose country has been invaded and we should all be supporting him and not fawning over Putin."

Mr Farage told LBC he wouldn't expect a guest "to be rude to me in my own home". Asked if the pair bullied President Zelensky, he said: "I think President Zelensky was very unwise to tell the Americans what would happen to them if they didn't back him. I think it was unwise. Yeah, sure, Vance and Trump bit back. But I think in diplomatic terms, I think Zelensky played it very badly."

Shadow Foreign Secretary Priti Patel said: “Nigel Farage is completely wrong. President Zelenskyy is a hero, who has stood up to Putin's aggression, and led his country's defence against their barbaric and illegal invasion over the last 3 years - and it is troubling to not hear the Leader of Reform say that.

"For Nigel Farage to sit there pointing the finger at Zelenskyy is both morally wrong and diplomatically counterproductive. At this uncertain and dangerous time, one would hope that MPs of all stripes would be putting our national interest first, rather than playing politics."

Ed Davey, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, said: "Nigel Farage is once again showing his true colours as Trump's own spokesman here in Britain. Zelensky showed courage and integrity in that room - in stark contrast to Farage’s cowardly approach of licking Trump’s boots."

President Zelenskyy is a hero ? Hmmm .... not sure about that bit.
Farage is a total muppet, but I think Priti may be going a little overboard there.

Zelenskyy ticks the hero box for many in the West especially the UK.

Reform UK in chaos after whip is withdrawn from Rupert Lowe

MP who criticised leader Nigel Farage is accused of bullying

Reform UK dramatically split on Friday as the party removed the whip from one of its only five MPs and said he had been reported to the police for alleged threats of physical violence against the party’s chair.

The row between Nigel Farage’s populist rightwing party and MP Rupert Lowe has thrown Reform into chaos, just as it is trying to cement its polling lead against the ruling Labour party and main Conservative opposition.

Tensions within the party have risen in recent days, with Lowe claiming earlier this week that Farage’s leadership style was “Messianic”.

On Friday, chief whip Lee Anderson and chair Zia Yusuf said the party had also appointed an independent King’s Counsel to investigate complaints from two female employees who had accused Lowe of bullying.

Lowe, who has been MP for Great Yarmouth since last July, responded saying there had been “zero credible evidence” against him and that he was disappointed and surprised by the “untrue and false” allegations...

In January, amid suggestions that Musk might donate significant sums to the party, the US billionaire suggested that Lowe take the leadership from Farage.

I do love a civil war.....

Reform UK’s chairman has reported one of its MPs to police amid a deepening civil war in the party.

Zia Yusuf has accused Rupert Lowe, the MP for Great Yarmouth, of twice making threats of physical violence against him.

The party also revealed that Mr Lowe had been accused of bullying two female members of staff and that a complaint had been made to parliamentary authorities.

Probably their Russian puppet masters getting bored on their tea break from dictating American foreign policy.

Point - Lowe
Quote:

No credible evidence against me'

He (Lowe) wrote: "I have just spoken to the KC. She is dismayed that this statement has been made, and reiterated that no evidence against me has been sent to her.

"She stated that this has been issued before the investigation has even started.

"She is shocked at the process, shocked at the communication from the party, and shocked that no credible evidence has been given, despite her repeated requests."
Counterpoint - KC
Quote:

"I have seen a number of statements made by Mr Lowe MP which are attributed to me and which describe my reactions to the process conducted by the party into the allegations made against both Mr Lowe MP and his constituency manager.

"I find myself in the unfortunate and regrettable position of having to make this statement to correct the record."

The lawyer added: "I have not expressed either 'dismay' or 'shock' at any time as to the process. Nor have I said 'there is zero credible evidence against [Mr Lowe]', let alone said this 'repeatedly'."

We’ve been telling you all they’re a bunch of amateurs for months.

Now they’ve gone and done us the honour of proving us right. How very kind of them.

Given how well they’re currently imploding I thought this might come in handy for anyone suffering with buyer’s remorse

It’s disappointing, they’re toast. For a moment there was a chance that there might actually be right orientated party that could change things.

But they can’t get their act together when there’s only 5 of them.

So we’re stuck with the uni-party and continuing high migration from Islamic countries and the managed decline of the country and economy.

I hope my boys emigrate and make better life elsewhere, ironic isn’t it!!!!!!

There can’t be one single sane individual outside of a mental health hospital who genuinely thought that bunch of freaks had a chance of becoming a legitimate option for number 10. Especially considering how many seem to have little-to-no understanding of how elections work.
