Full-time shit-stirring gobshite, GB "News" presenter, Rishi Sunak's Tory Party Deputy Chairman & part-time crap MP, #30pLee, thinks ageing far-right Nazi-supporting arseholes are “real salt of the Earth people”. He'll fit Right in at GB "News"!

mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
People on @Twitter have known all about #30pLee's far-right tendencies for quite some time, as have the @Conservatives - but I understand this is the first time a national newspaper has brought it to a wider public.

Not that anyone would be remotely surprised.
#30pLee was sent for #antisemitism awareness training after being an active member of a FB group in which other members supported Tommy Robinson & promoted Soros conspiracy theories. He also signed a letter using the antisemitic conspiracy theory of "cultural Marxism".
#30pLee described Nazi-supporting members of the Skegby Scooter Club as “real salt of the Earth people” who “make me feel proud to be Ashfield born & bred”. Nathan Bratby, a club regular who has been snapped with GB "News" presenter #30pLee, supports white supremacist punk bands.
Paul Reeson, seen here with a trophy & shaking hands with #30pLee, published a social media post telling British Muslims: “This is England, my England. If you don’t like me, or my fellow English men & women, leave our shores... or feel the wrath of the steel in my hand.” 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️
Facebook photos of Bratby show him in shirts with the logos of neo-Nazi bands Skrewdriver & Whitelaw.

Skrewdriver’s songs include White Power & lyrics praising Adolf Hitler. Whitelaw’s tracks include Fetch the Noose & a song referencing Hitler.

'Compassionate @Conservatives'?
#30pLee has spoken particularly warmly of Martin Dudley, AKA Martin Fluke, who was named on a leaked list of BNP members, & who last week attended a protest staged by Mansfield Against Illegal Migrants - twenty people at a hotel housing asylum seekers, chanting “Out! Out! Out!”
In September, #30pLee's buddy Martin Dudley, attended an annual Scooter rally in a T-shirt bearing an Odin’s Cross & the phrase “No remorse, white pride”. The cross, also tattooed on Mr Dudley’s calf, is an often-used white supremacist symbol.

In one photo with #30pLee, Dudley wears a dark, yellow-trimmed Fred Perry polo shirt – withdrawn in 2020 after it was adopted by the far-right Proud Boys.

“It is unconceivable that Lee Anderson did not know about his past. He needs to distance himself from this odious man.”
David Hennigan, a local councillor said: “It just goes to show how far the @Conservatives have sunk under Rishi Sunak. Lee Anderson is a divisive figure. He has upset foodbank users, nurses, teachers, anyone with decency. I didn’t think the Conservatives could sink any lower.”
The shit-stirring hypocritical gobshite #30pLee has strongly criticised fellow MPs for having second jobs: “I don’t have a second job, I love the job I have already,” he previously posted on Facebook.

Now he has a job as a GB "News" presenter.

mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
Grotesque far-right arse #30pLee also publicly denounced ex-Cabinet minister Owen Paterson as he faced a row over his second job: “We are paid handsomely for the job we do & if you need an extra £100,000 a year on top then you should really be looking for another job”.

If only!
The massive neanderthal hypocrite #30pLee also criticised Labour’s Jess Phillips after she made a one-off appearance on Have I Got News For You.

“I am sure Jess will donate this huge sum of money to a good cause in her constituency during these difficult times,” he wrote.
Previously on the #30pLee GB "News" shit-show...

Shit-stirring hypocritical bigoted playground bullies were once shunned by society, but now they can become MPs.

Is Reform UK's Lee Anderson, who exploits ordinary people with his infantile divisive populism, the thickest & most hypocritical bigot ever to become an MP? Image
#30pLee is on his third party in six years.

He was elected as a Labour councillor in 2015 & suspended by the local branch of the Labour Party in 2018 after receiving a community-protection warning by the council for using boulders to block members of the Traveller community. Image
#30pLee resigned from Labour in 2018 & was elected as a Tory councillor on Mansfield District Council in 2019. He was selected as the Conservative candidate for Ashfield in 2019, and was elected as a Tory MP.

He's long been associated with the far-right.

The Chairman of the West Midlands Police Federation, Richard Cooke, has been suspended after he branded racism allegations as "nonsense" on social media after a former chief inspector alleged racism & homophobia were rife within the force.

itv.com/news/central/2…
Policing is hard. The Police Federation of England and Wales is the statutory staff association for police constables, sergeants, inspectors, chief inspectors & special constables in the 43 territorial police forces in England & Wales. Cooke is Chair of the West Midlands branch.
Under UK labour law, the police are prohibited from joining ordinary trade unions to defend pay and working conditions, by the Police Act 1996, because of the view that a police strike would pose an exceptional public safety risk.

Cooke is a controversial figure. Image

🧵Trump has assigned Musk a chilling task: To dismantle & destroy large parts of the federal government. Musk wants us to call this project by a humorous & innocent-sounding name: the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE).

#Framing is important.

theframelab.org/destruction-of…
First, Musk's project is not an official Dept, so it's not factual to call it one.

Second, the goal of Musk's project is destruction, not "efficiency." Efficiency is when you make something work better. Musk clearly seeks to eliminate, not improve, large parts of government. Image
Finally, Musk has named his project after a meme, DOGE, a crypto scam named for a Shiba Inu dog. He's treating it all as a joke. But the destruction of government is deadly serious, and there's no reason why everyone should automatically participate in Musk's juvenile antics. Image

I've lost count of all the ultrarich privately educated 'anti-elites' in Reform UK!

Dubai World Trade Centre & Nick Candy's Candy Capital have a partnership to develop a “super-prime” real estate development in Dubai - where co-owner of GB "News", Legatum, is based! 🤑 Image
Candy joined the Tory party in 2009 & has donated at least £290,000 to it.

In February he gave an interview saying it was “probably time for a change” & that Keir Starmer was “a decent man with good values and good morals”.

Nick Candy is to become Reform UK's new treasurer! Image
He hopes to raise more than £40M for Reform UK: "This morning, I’ve had millions of pounds worth of donations from people that have never donated to a political party in this country. But it’s not just about getting rich donors & billionaire people or whatever."

"WHATEVER!" 👀 Image

My 2023 Open Letter about @BBCQuestiontime, read by 300,000 people in 144 countries, was widely reported in the media & informed questions asked of @BBC DG Tim Davie at a Parliamentary Select Committee.

Here's my 🧵 analysis of the recent episode of #bbcqt, featuring: Image
My main criticisms of #bbcqt were: poor & biased chairing, including a tolerance of panellists who continually interrupt; ambiguity about the audience political demographic; & the well-evidenced bias toward platforming panellists from right-leaning media.

yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/an-op…
The @BBC's desire to drive engagement means #bbcqt is now overly dependent on platforming guests known for generating division, soundbites, & polarising controversy, rather than engaging in nuanced, respectful debate, which compromises its duty to 'INFORM & EDUCATE' the public. Image

Farage has defended Reform UK MP James McMurdock, who was jailed for repeatedly kicking his girlfriend, & said 'he should be forgiven'.

In 2014, Farage dismissed a Polish MEP's comment that beating women "helps bring wives back to Earth", insisting it was "just a joke". Image
Back in 2014, the Board of Deputies of British Jews criticised Farage - then UKIP Leader - for striking a deal with far-right Polish party Congress of the New Right, whose leader has a history of #Holocaust denial and racist and misogynistic comments.

theguardian.com/politics/2014/…
In October 2014, UKIP, led by Farage, struck a deal with Polish MEP Robert Iwaszkiewicz - whose far-right party leader casually uses racial slurs and questions the Holocaust - following UKIP's fears that its grouping in Europe would lose millions of pounds in taxpayers’ funds. Image
