Heading to the counting station shortly! Got an all-nighter ahead of me! Let's hope all Reformers got out there and voted. Results will be out very very soon 👏

@REFORMUK
it was a bloody good fight. We placed only 102 votes behind Cons.
Labour has claimed this seat. Next election is not guaranteed ;)
The team reminded me to take a photo 🤣! We went out in the SWEALTERING HEAT in Billesley today! We had a great reception & covered 5.25Km. Very impressive! A massive thank you my wonderful team who've been out helping me on the treks! Couldn't do it without Y'all ❤
Ed Milliband has lifted the on-shore wind turbine ban. Lord have mercy. If you wanted better CLEAN energy look no further than nuclear. You know... the thing
#ReformUK
wants to do.
At the count! Numbers are strong. Each ward is VASTLY different. We gave a good game. We are building momentum. The foundations are being set
#ReformUK
The atmosphere @ nec
@reformparty_uk
was unlike any other. It was so powerful, the level comradery was so moving. Everyone in unison there, with a will to make life better. Truly momentous.
#VoteReformUK
Labour are way too trigger happy.
#ReformUK
is the only party who wants to negotiate for peace PERIOD. Instead Labour are all "bombs away" great messaging 🙃
I'm surprised the Greenies aren't mad about the ban on on-shore wind farms been lifted. These wind turbines require 30,000 TONNES of concrete to be built & only have a life span of around 25 years. They are awful for the environment. Quite ironic as its meant to be "clean energy"
I've been out delivering leaflets with some other volunteers &
@erin4mpX
@reformparty_uk
this morning. The mood was very positive towards Reform. I only got called a fascist once by a rather aggressive bloke who decided to come out & 'have a go'. Pretty much like lefties on X 🙄
The day has finally come... grab your family, friends, neighbours! Every vote matters! Vote for a real change, something different that the ConLab narrative. A party who actually wants to make the Gov work for the PEOPLE!❤
DO NOT BELIEVE THE POLLS ... REFORM ACTIVISTS BELIEVE NIGEL AND REFORM UK ARE ON TARGET TO GET A MAJORITY ON JULY 4TH.
BUT DON'T GET COMPLACENT, GET OUT AND VOTE.
WE NEED OVER 15M VOTES TO FORM A MAJORITY GOVERNMENT AND WE ESTIMATE WE'RE ON 11.5 MILLION.

This happens country wide. The biased partisan teaching is unacceptable. Some schools give "citizenship" lessons which is basically just "these are my views and they better be yours too". Schools should teach CRITICAL THINKING... not what to to think.
I have gathered a list of schools (including primary level) in my constituency where teachers were allegedly pushing their own aggressive personal views about Reform on young children. I will be following up with each and every headteacher, making it abundantly clear that their
I cannot say enough how utterly grateful I am to everyone who came out to help over these 5 weeks! It was back breaking work, so many miles were covered 🥂We did extremely well. 5,732 is an incredible start. It truly is only up from here ❤
Leeds is burning. Mass riots like Britian hasn't seen in years. Yet no one can really claim to know the reason other than a "disturbance with social workers".
With less than a week till election day, make sure you get talking to friends and more importantly VOTE! Be the change you desire. Only with power in numbers can we truly make a difference.
40,000 votes and we are NECK TO NECK with Labour! This shows the media is underestimating us. We are the true opposition and might just snatch the win ;)

rally. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. Tories and Labour should be terrified.
I'm actually shocked that Labour the "ethical party" is so quick to bulldoze the environment. Wild take but Reform are quite literally more green than the eco-freaks.
All recent polling shows we are gaining ground. With each poll Labour's majority shortens. No one wants a labour establishment, they pick them as the "lesser evil". We have a real option now, a real hope.

. The UK is a literal island with MULTIPLE countries between us & any conflicts. Yet people come on dangerous boats to get here? Because our benefits are coveted, they know they will get top notch treatment. We are told we don't have money to support our services and yet...
@EuropeInvasionn
@Keir_Starmer
instead of playing about at the Nato summit, take note from Finland. No one is an asylum seeker when they skip 20 countries to find the best benefits.
Starmer has just announced £84 million of OUR money will be spent on projects across Africa and the Middle East to 'tackle' drivers of illegal migration.
Bonkers.
Great Yarmouth could desperately use some of those funds....
STOP the boats, and spend OUR money in the UK.
We made up 14% of the entire vote share and yet only have 1% of the seats. First past the post is corrupt and archaic. We need proportional representation ASAP 👏
Now hear me out here... They tragically died... crossing from FRANCE to the UK. We pay £500 MILLION annually to France to stop this from happening. France is perfectly safe & a great place to seek asylum. So why risk the chanel to come to the UK. It doesn't make sense.
I am horrified to hear of the deaths of 4 people who risked their lives crossing the Channel last night.
My condolences go out to their families.
I, and all
@TheGreenParty
MPs, urge Labour to immediately create safe & legal routes for people in desperate need of seeking asylum
Power in numbers! Let's show the establishment that our voice does matter! We can enact true change. Make the Gov work for us not the other way around!💯
Suddenly, because millions are posting their support for Reform UK we are supposed to believe we are all bots 😂
The left are terrified that the Great British working class are going to snatch victory from their grubby little hands
Join the Reform UK Revolt 💪🇬🇧

#Trump
I think we really need to take things like this more seriously. No matter your side of political aisle, violence shouldn't be incited.
If Nigel had said about throwing battery acid over a Labour politician, as Jo Brand did about him, what would the response be?
These people should be held to account. It's inciting violence, and as we've seen - some lunatic will act on that.
Enough.
What does everyone think about Labour's new move to life the ban on on-shore wind farms? I for one thinks it's awful. Not even from just an aesthetic POV (although they do look awful). They are actually TERRIBLE for environment
It is so important for everyone to get involved in politics including young people! We all need to vote for the change we deserve! This includes but isn't limited to: less tax, more social housing, less student debt.

Election 2024:
With a referendum we could actually get a FAIR voting system... however I doubt the uniparty would be thrilled about that. Imagine they wouldn't have that tight leash on power... oh how would they cope 🤦♀️🤣
Nigel Farage says he wants a referendum on changing the UK’s voting system from First Past the Post to a Proportional Representation system, which would be fairer on smaller parties.
Do you support this?
News about Trump is coming in as we speak- look at this! A gun "scare" doesn't scare him at all. Trump won't be silenced 👏He continues to stand tall and it is truly inspirational. That kind of courage is truly rare.
Ed Milliband either hates us or is an actual moron. I worry when winter comes and his destroyed our Energy grid. We will be buying CANDLES to heat our homes at this rate 🥲
Oh look a sensible opinion 👏💯 The green belt should be protected. It's one of the many things which Britain has to be genuinely proud about. Our countrysides are some of the most beautiful in the world.
#Labour
needs to take a good look at themselves.
@PolitlcsUK
Why do we need to be talking about the greenbelt?
The country is covered in brownfield sites and there are empty homes that could be put back into housing stock.
How about dealing with 2nd homes & Air B&Bs?
Please do spare the time to watch this.
@ZiaYus
really speaks from the heart. He represents what Reform hopes to achieve. We are all behind him, fighting for a better day tomorrow ❤

What a phenomenal
#RallyforReform
event at the NEC! Thank you to all of you 5000 patriots who showed up.
Here’s my speech - a love letter to Great Britain.
Labour does not have the majority they think they do. This could very well be Reforms time. Make sure you get out and vote for the change you deserve on July 4th!
🚨 NEW: Labour is genuinely concerned that polls predicting a large majority for them might cause voters to back smaller parties, which could then let the Tories win
"Labour doesn't really think these [polling] numbers stack up"

@HolidayPaddy
Totally agree, Paddy. Starmer agreed with us too until he got wiff of a huge majority. The man wouldn't know a principle if it hit him in the face.
Ah yes... First action as criminal JUSTICE minister... Hmm : You know all those people who did bad things and harmed innocents? Yeah let's put them back on the streets without proper punishment. Because who cares about the victims right? Great idea. Just great.
Prisoners who have served 40% of their sentence will be released to help alleviate overcrowding, the government has announced.
Do you support or oppose this?
#Politics
This is a great point. The amount of money which the government "spends" which just ends up written off and going "missing" is actually ridiculous. The lack of accountability for these EXTORTIONATE schemes is mind-blowing.
More BBC Bias 🚨
I was booked to appear live on the final Sunday Politics before the election.
Instead we were pulled last minute and asked to do a pre recorded interview full of ‘gotcha’ questions. They didn’t even get my name right!
The media are the enemy.
Vote Reform! 🇬🇧
If your literal job is about protecting women and promoting opportunities for women etc. But you can't define what a woman is... you can't really do your job, now can you? Lord have mercy.
Woman's Hour, March 8, 2022
Emma Barnes: And Labour’s definition of a woman?
Annaliese Dodds: Well, I have to say that there are different definitions legally around what a woman actually is. I mean you look at the definition within the Equality Act and I think it just says
These sort of stories are heartbreaking. In our Western world, one of the most technologically advanced countries... and we let THIS happen to our people. It is disgusting. Something must change radically and swiftly. This cruelty CANNOT persist.
Imagine having terminal cancer, arriving at A&E with suspected sepsis & being forced to lie on the FLOOR because the hospital hasn’t got a single bed.
This happened to Madeleine Butcher this week. In Britain. In 2024.
Because the Tories have destroyed our NHS. Simply barbaric.
"If we are going to use oil and gas, use our own!"
"It's cheaper. It means we get the jobs, the tax revenue, and the prosperity, and it's far less carbon-intensive"
@LiamHalligan
brilliantly articulates why it would be utterly insane to ban new North Sea oil licences.
Great how about end the insufferable crunching. Many teachers work an average of 4.4 UNPAID hours per WEEK to meet ridiculous targets. How about actually pay teachers what they have worked... Maybe then schools would retain staff :)
Arguably, the most important topic! Raising the Tax-free threshold will massively help the working class keep hold of their hard earned money.
#votereform
Money talks. It's within our grasp. Half the population doesn't bother voting. If we all pull through, real change will happen. We will shock Westminster.
This is quite literally the most STUPID thing ever. We need proportional representation. IN WHAT WORLD DOES THIS MAKE SENSE 🤦♀️. We are united Nationally. We must come together locally. We will built FPTP & come back stronger 👏

This feels so dystopian... The police are literally zooming off? Wouldn't exactly call this law enforcement. It's funny because Just stop oil kids are getting 4/5 years fo PLANNING to block a motor way, whilst THIS is happening.
#Whitechapel
so this apparently is a riot in the UK....about the police shooting someone in Bangladesh. That's like me taking a shit in Tescos checkout because I was overcharged in Aldi??? Make it make sense??
Instead of the BBC criticising the comment from an independent candidate, they should be grateful that young people are actually putting their neck out. Someone's got to. You don't need 30 years exp in some random industry to see our country needs help.

Labour plans to release 40,000 criminals back into British communities, due to 'overcrowding'.
Why doesn't the government deport the 12% of criminals who are foreign nationals back to their country of origin to free up space in our prisons?
Grow a spine.

@WestYorksPolice
have been forced to LEAVE once AGAIN as cars burn and missiles are thrown at their vehicles.
Lawless Leeds is burning. Britain is falling.
@Iannoshoes
Facts 💯Some young people are actually aware of the how dire our situation is. Reform UK is literally the only party which has the working class at the heart of its policies. We are 4 Million strong and that will only grow 🥂
Starmer allowing British long range missiles to be fired into Russia is an insane escalation of the Ukraine conflict that will be seen as an act of war.
The collective West should be de-escalating this conflict, not ramping up to WW3.
@Iannoshoes
Anyone who's actually had to work hard are more than likely to support Reform. Reform actually stands for making your own way, not relying on daddy government. Hopefully more people wake up from the wokey mentality 🥂👏
French elections 🇫🇷
▪️Marine Le Pen's right-wing party got over 10 million votes but only 142 seats.
▪️The Socialists/Communists got 7 million votes and 180 seats.
▪️Macrons party got 6.7 million votes and 159 seats.
The right actually got the most votes - Yet lost.
What I'm reading here is they are going to build on the brown belt to keep up with population boom... I wonder how

feels about this?

was not willing to destroy the green belt... Surprising that the righteous left is so quick to jump on that option.

I have no words for this... The fact that someone would try to make an attempt on Trumps life is beyond heinous. It's one thing to spout hate online but to actually make an attempt on his life... That person should be locked up for life.
Had my first Hustings (political debate /question time) infront of an audience at Cotteridge today! It was a roller-coaster and a pleasure to meet the fellow candidates for Selly Oak Birmingham.

Mwahaha thank you 😊! Birmingham particularly my area has been labour for DECADES it's a tough nut to crack but I'm certainly gonna try 💯!
Onwards and upwards for sure 👏🥂
I absolutely LOVE seeing men stick up for
@jk_rowling
& Women's rights. At the end of the day women's safety SHOULD be a priority. The term TERF is divisive as hell, it won't be used to silence women. Women's spaces should be protected. Point blank period 👏❤
@jeffsprogress
@jk_rowling
So many men on here having a pop at her for sticking up for women’s rights.
Why?
What is your agenda?
Why are you so obsessed with women’s only spaces?
So many questions could follow these, but I think my point is made!
More than 400,000 people may have been prevented from voting in the general election because they lacked the necessary ID, with those from minority ethnic communities more than twice as likely to have experienced this, polling has suggested.
Is voter ID fair or unfair?
The tax argument is the most valid argument 💯. However the number of 16 year olds paying tax is miniscule. Due to them being in full time education till they are 18, and age discriminatory pay. You wouldn't implement a rule for all based on the 1% so why do it here.
The argument against 16 yrs olds having a vote are always “oh, they’re too impressionable” meanwhile, decisions are made for them by some 65 yr old who bases their vote on far right Facebook memes that say Muslims are trying to ban Christmas.
If they pay tax they deserve a say.
@LBC
@IainDale
Iain, yes everyone has been a young person, but that attitude is the is serious issue.. You have no idea what it's like to be a young person.. NOW.. You don't have a clue.. That's why democracy/their vote is so important/works, it's about your experience as a young person, now.
@Iannoshoes
That's great to hear 👏I've been apart of Reform since... October time? Decided to run in January, became official in March & well here we are now 😎. Managed to get 15% in one of the most lefty seats in brum 👏 Reform will truly make a difference and I can't wait to see it.

@Wokewaster
I actually just researched it. In the UK you can only enter a monogamous marriage. However (regardless of religon) If polygamy is legal in a foreign country - and you get married there. Then that polygamous marriage is recognised in the UK & benefits are paid. (Wild right)
