Ginny H Ball is the Reform Party's candidate for parliament at the next election for Rutland and Stamford. Perhaps we should take a closer look at her previous tweets and stated opinions?
When I first wrote these blogs on the relatively new History Reclaimed and Restore Trust, with their overlapping memberships, I focused on their hypocrisy but underestimated their persistence and influence.

Has @EdwardJDavey nailed it? He & the @LibDems plan to "rebuild the UK's relationship with the EU & renew the ties of trust & friendship, to set us on the path back to the single market, repairing the damage the @Conservatives have done"?

“It couldn’t be clearer that we need a general election now so voters can finally kick this tired and out-of-touch government out of office.” @EdwardJDavey
This is economically illiterate garbage. The Tories have no more "spent all the money" or "maxed out the credit card" than Labour had in 2009/10 when Cameron made the same silly claim. Also debt is not the highest since WW2 🙄

At the BBC we've had a whole independent review which made it very clear we shouldn't use profoundly misleading household finance analogies for the public finances. But now the Labour front bench keeps doing it. And it's not the first time: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

There is an actual Palestinian MP in Parliament, who has been very public and vocal about her family members trapped in Gaza, but because she's a Liberal and not an atrocity-denying Assad-worshipper, the Far-Left's Lawrence of Arabia can simply write her out of history.
Am I alone in thinking it very strange that @RishiSunak's response to a free and fair democratic vote in the #RochdaleByElection is to give a ten-minute lecture at the Downing Street podium as if the UK had been suddenly plunged into an existential national emergency? Weird.
No senior Labour MP went on TV peddling conspiracy theories about Jews, or wrote an op-ed in a national newspaper claiming Jews run Britain or Tories were run by Zionists Antisemitism was (and remains) a problem, but there is no equivalence to what the Tories are doing

There is often much food for thought in @DavidGauke's articles. But this one falls into a common pattern: someone unhappy with their own (previous) party dreams that the Lib Dems should turn into their own idealised version of that party instead.

Lee Anderson must be suspended from the Tory party tonight, not over the weekend or on Monday, but tonight. His divisive and hateful, Islamophobic rhetoric, an incitement to hatred and violence, is unacceptable from a member of the public, let alone an MP.
So, *not* the Economic Establishment or the Deep State after all? It's getting very confusing to know who the Conservatives think is in charge, although they seem sure it isn't them. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…
A despicable slur on @SadiqKhan and Londoners In his first speech as PM, @RishiSunak said he would "unite our country". If he allows the likes of Anderson to spread hate and division like this, those words will be revealed as a sham

@rcolvile 1/ While you may be factually correct, as I said, the public perception isn’t there thus more effort explaining may help. 2/It seems another example of a weak regulator. Putting bills up potentially 40% against past dividends and perceived lack of investment goes down badly
@afneil There is no point debating, especially with stat ping pong. Bottom line is the main dissatisfaction areas comes from lack of resource which is Gov controlled and people support more direct £ for NHS.
@afneil Andrew honestly the budget goes up every year, you can’t just say more money goes in and pretend that means something, more people are born every year, people live longer now. They aren’t spending enough money on it.
@afneil This is very disingenuous because a) that's not the highest ever, b) is the figure for 2022 and c) NHS spend decreased as a proportion of GDP almost every year from 2010 to 2018, while the economy was at best stagnant, meaning it has been under invested in for a decade
@afneil Disingenuous use of stats. Conservatives have made wholesale cutbacks and have underfunded the NHS for over a decade. The lack of real terms rises show the lack of finance and we have a huge gap in funding now. % of GDP is due to austerity and economic suicide of that project.
@MarkVipond Why are you so arrogant that you think that those who go to state school arent aspirational? This is exactly the attitude that as a privately educated parent, I will not send my kids to private school.
@GrahamEvans2 @nickhassey Exactly that! Which is why everyone should be fighting to increase NI contributions, not remove them. The state pension will disappear, along with the NHS if NI is abolished like Hunt is planning.
@Samfr Also the fact that the Tories will almost certainly regain a bunch because they changed the voting system to one that benefits them (most notably Cambridgeshire and Peterborough) and then hail that as a great electoral success.
@mhwfc Q is whether people care more about allegations or money he's brought to the region.
Great bit of reporting that illustrates the problem we're seeing across the public sector. Severe under recruitment due to long-term pay cuts.
@GrahamEvans2 @AntBreach I think so, but I also think we are now at the point where we have to act and buy out at current values or a bit of uplift over time (market +10%). A bit of strategic farm buying and CPO's...
@AntBreach You are attacking a straw man: we never claimed that RtB was the SOLE or triggering force generating today's UK housing crises. It was a step along the way. Other factors include financialisation, income distribution, tax incentives, pursuit of asset prices…
@PickardJE What makes it even worse for them, is the legacy of a 14 year old government is so poor. That's got to be a real kicker in the motivations.
@Samfr Henry just doesn’t want to fund poor people’s healthcare. That’s all it is.
@Samfr His point about political sustainability is valid, just odd coming from a tory: the lack of sustainability is due to their hostility of tax and government.
Of course, dentistry is one part of the system that doesn't "shut out co-payment and private revenue" and that is hardly a triumphant success.
@HCH_Hill All health systems will keep needing more money (regardless of funding model) as they have done for many, many decades. But it's about allocation as well as just more. Capex being the obvious example that's killed productivity.
@FraserNelson 14 years in power. 80 seat majority and not once have they tackled reforming devolution. Indeed, the Tories have wanted more! They convinced themselves that being Blair 2.0 was the winning formula. #ZeroSeats
@FraserNelson Seriously.. who is advising No10/CCHQ? They giving it to Starmer/Labour on a plate… target Birmingham Council? What about Northampton? Thurrock? Kent? All Tory councils that need (or will need) bailing out..
