I’ve not Tweeted much for a while, and so maybe I’m no great loss. But I’m done here. This is my last Tweet. RIP to a once great platform.

Hi @expend how are you planning to compensate your card users after the massive recent extra admin and inconvenience of your cards being entirely non-functioning? I signed up two charities @StonegroveCT and #VictoriaHallHarrow

Absolute standard issues with @virginmedia at @StonegroveCT this last week. Broken internet, engineer that sleeps in his van in our car apark, then says we were closed, when our CCTV shows he didn't even come to our entrance! Now waiting longer as they're saying no case raised!

Yes - we need answers now!
I’ve seen a post on X that Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage actually attended a riot in a balaclava, and threw missiles. I don’t know if this is true, but it raises legitimate questions that need an answer! Police haven’t commented! Are we being told everything?

A reminder After the Aug 2011 riots, police & my prosecutors examined all the video evidence for MONTHS identifying & bringing offenders to justice - 1000s of them Some didn’t get arrested till a year later! Prison was the usual sentence My boss was someone called Keir Starmer

This is just so precious. Like he really thought it was well governed, and only worked out it wasn't when he got shafted! 😂
I have just been informed by Nigel Farage that Richard Tice is taking over as deputy leader of the party. Consequently I no longer hold that position. I am considering my position more generally in light of this change. I have long held concerns about the control of the party and the decision making processes. I will reflect on all of this. The key for me is that Reform UK stays true to the promises made to the British people. The movement we have created does not belong to us, it belongs to the people. We are obliged and indebted to the British people.

Hi @Ed_Miliband We @StonegroveCT are soon installing the largest charity owned solar installation in London, and we'd love to have you join us to celebrate this achievement. We believe with the right support many more charities across the UK could do this #CommunityPower

This was the first GE held with the new voter ID rules. The impact? @Moreincommon_’s new survey shows: 🗳️ 400k people stopped from voting due to voter ID laws 🗳️ Ethnic minority voters more than 2.5x more likely to be turned away than white voters theguardian.com/politics/art…

Today only! Krispy Kreme is giving away FREE original glazed doughnuts to celebrate dough-mocracy. Simply pop into one of its shops and say "I voted" – there's no purchase necessary. 🍩 It's the second most important decision you'll make today 🤣

Sit back down Suella !! And rein in the indignation Rishi!! And accept the role you’ve both played in the toxic culture that’s now biting you. If you spend years dog whistling , ratcheting up divisive rhetoric , stereotyping and demonising communities and failing to act on racism within our own ranks don’t be surprised if you get called a “f’ing Paki” by those you enabled , empowered and emboldened. Let this be a lesson - culture wars may get you headlines but they damage us as a nation.
Suella Braverman says today that the prime minister’s attacks on racist views expressed by Reform candidates has less force because the party he leads - and she aspires to lead - kept Frank Hester’s millions. Quite extraordinary attack on the eve of polling day, in the Telegraph. She says “whatever the ‘smartest men in the room’ may privately think, the public are not in fact mugs”. Read attached

The attack on Keir Starmer for asserting his right to family time on a Friday night, as he has done for many, many years, is so dangerous. So insidious from those aware of why he chooses to be with his family specifically on Friday evenings.
