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In one photo with #30pLee, Dudley wears a dark, yellow-trimmed Fred Perry polo shirt – withdrawn in 2020 after it was adopted by the far-right Proud Boys.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

In May, Reform UK became the UK’s first party to accept crypto donations; experts warned of major money-laundering and foreign interference risks.

The NCA says Tether—backed by Reform’s £13.7M donor Christopher Harborne—has been used by Russia to fund its war in Ukraine. Image
A multibillion-dollar scheme that exchanges cash from drug and gun sales in the UK for crypto—digital tokens hiding users’ identities—has enabling “sanctions evasions and the highest levels of organised crime, including providing money-laundering services to the Russian state”.
theguardian.com/politics/2025/…Image
In 2023, the hedge fund co-founded by GB "News" owner Paul Marshall, who employs 60% of anti-Net Zero Reform UK's MPs, had £1.8 BILLION invested in fossil fuel firms.

Harborne (who has Thai citizenship under the name 'Chakrit Sakunkrit) also makes money from fossil fuels.

I and countless others are sick to death of the billionaire-funded Reform UK propaganda machine, GB “News”, and their decontextualised ‘facts’ that would make Goebbels blush.

Let’s examine the claim that “one quarter of foreign sex offenders come from just five countries”.
Yes, the raw data comes from a genuine Ministry of Justice (MoJ) prison census, but the way it’s being weaponised is deeply misleading.

The statistic sounds explosive, and deliberately so: a factoid engineered to sound like a revelation of hidden danger.
The right-wing information pipeline: a cherry-picked fragment of official data stripped of context, laundered through an opaquely funded “think tank” that isn't a think tank, amplified by billionaire-funded media, and weaponised by opportunistic politicians for electoral gain.

Reform UK’s head of Policy is a privately educated son of immigrants called Muhammad Ziauddin Yusuf.

Yusuf is a shameless liar.

Below, I'll expose just a few of his more recent brazen lies and misleading claims about asylum seekers, immigrants, and ‘foreign nationals’.
In the September 2025 @SkyNews Immigration Debate, chaired by Trevor “Muslims are not like us” Phillips, Reform UK’s head of policy Zia Yusuf made a series of inaccurate and highly misleading claims about migration, and more recently, on @BBCNewsnight, about social housing. Image
These assertions are easily disproved with publicly available data, but often go largely unchallenged on air, despite being about some of the most sensitive and polarised issues in politics.

Yusuf started by claiming that UK net migration “last year” was “about a million.” Image

When a newspaper repeatedly publishes misleading, distorted, or outright inaccurate stories, the public expects independent regulators to step in.

What if I told you the editor responsible for these stories is now in charge of writing the very rules that govern press ethics? Image
Privately educated Chris Evans, editor of The Daily Telegraph since 2014, has—since January 2024—simultaneously served as Chair of the IPSO Editors’ Code of Practice Committee, the body that drafts, reviews, and rewrites the ethical rulebook that the UK press is meant to follow. Image
Evans holds this regulatory role at a time when his own paper is producing more factual corrections and clarifications than almost any other major UK outlet — with an overwhelming concentration in politically weaponised right-wing themes.

🧵 OPEN LETTER

Defend the @BBC Before It’s Gone

The BBC isn’t perfect — but it’s ours. As coordinated attacks on its independence intensify, I warn that if we don’t defend it now, we may lose more than a broadcaster — we may lose a cornerstone of British democracy... Image
As a long-time critic of the @BBC, let me spell it out: what we’re seeing right now isn’t organic outrage — it’s a sophisticated coordinated campaign by ideological enemies and commercial competitors to undermine the BBC’s independence and funding. Image
If you can’t see that, you’re being played — and that’s exactly the point.

Let’s start with Michael Prescott, author of the dodgy dossier leaked exclusively to The Telegraph, who is a PR man and former political editor at Murdoch’s Sunday Times.

Growing numbers of people are angry and disillusioned with the political establishment.

Desperate voters are easy prey for manipulative populists—as they were in Germany in the 1930s.

But the problem isn't immigrants or religious minorities. It's always wealth distribution. Image
The story of wealth in Britain over the past eight decades since WWII is not one of ‘the invisible hand’, but of deliberate policy choices—choices that once built one of the most equal society in modern history, but now sustain one of the most unequal in the developed world. Image
Data tracking wealth distribution from 1945 to 2025 reveal a striking U-shaped curve: a rapid reduction in wealth inequality after World War II, making Britain one of the most equal countries on earth by the mid 1970s, followed by an unbroken rise.
