Yes, seems a bit daft to tweet that, if she is indeed currently in Dubai!
Having been to Dubai several times……..that definitely doesn’t happen!

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
Didn’t exactly take long for people to start seeing Reform for the grifters they really are:

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
More Clacton voters realising they have been had by Reform and, specifically, the Grifter-in-chief Farage:
Who cares for the common worker?

I’m sure they’ll voice their concerns directly to him at his Constituency Surgeries…

Labour urged to defend workers’ rights bill as poll shows huge public support
Quote:
A mega-poll of 21,000 people, including deep dives into Reform constituencies, showed the ban on zero-hours contracts and other protections for workers were backed by the vast majority of voters for Nigel Farage’s party.
The poll from the TUC suggested the employment rights bill, which includes day one sick pay and new rights to parental leave and flexible working, is the government’s most popular policy among both Reform and Green voters.
The TUC said Farage’s Reform was “defying its own voters and constituents” with its opposition to the legislation. Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, has made the legislation’s burden on businesses one of her key attacks against Keir Starmer.
Farage has previously attacked some of the government’s flexible working plans, calling them “a complete load of cobblers” and saying “if you want to do well in life and succeed, believe me, you’ve got to work hard”.
The multilevel regression with poststratification (MRP) poll modelled support at a constituency level for two key policies from the legislation – banning zero hours contracts and giving all workers sick pay from day one – which showed every single constituency had majority support for the proposals.
In Farage’s Clacton seat, 70% support banning zero hours contracts and day one sick pay. There is similar – sometimes higher – support for both policies in Lee Anderson’s Ashfield seat, Richard Tice’s Boston and Skegness seat and Rupert Lowe’s Great Yarmouth seat.

There were clearly Farage supporters in the video and they assumed he would support the working people when it came to the proposed law that strengthened workers rights. Clearly not ...
Nigel Farage's Voters Are Shocked At His Opposition To Better Workers' Rights
Quote:
Voters in Nigel Farage’s constituency were left shocked by his apparent opposition to better workers’ rights.
The Reform UK leader and his party’s other four MPs voted against the government’s employment rights bill in the Commons.

It is well within the governments ( of any colour) powers to control immigration.
Leaving the ECHR would help further.
They don’t get a free pass because of Brexit.

Immigration can be restricted further but there are trade-offs eg staffing for the NHS, more course cuts at universities.
UK will never leave the ECHR for reasons stated before.
And Brexit means unlawful immigrants get a free pass as we can't return them to the EU country they came from. The promise to 'Take back control of our borders' is the opposite to what has occurred.

Tripe. All those men in their mid-twenties and early thirties rocking up on The beach. Are not doctors or nurses or porters.
They are at best deliveroo drivers, at worst jihadists….in between just a burden on the state.
