Reform UK’s first London councillor has been exposed as a “slum landlord”.

- 33 tenants crammed into one house

- Rats, broken showers & sinks left broken

- Rent demanded in cash

- Prosecuted & fined in court

- Green leader Zack Polanski was a tenant who helped expose it

🧵 Mark Shooter was a long-time Tory councillor in Barnet.

But, in November 2024, he defected to Reform - becoming their first ever London councillor.

However, whilst railing against “broken Britain”, he was profiting from broken housing.

Peter Mandelson said Jeffrey Epstein was his “best pal”.

He stayed at Epstein’s paedo island multiple times.

And he repeatedly contacted Epstein AFTER he was convicted.

This is the man Keir Starmer saw fit to appoint as his US Ambassador.

Here’s the full revolting truth.

🧵 Jeffrey Epstein was first investigated for sexual abuse of minors in the mid-2000s.

In 2008 he was convicted of procuring a child for prostitution.

That’s when most people cut ties.

Mandelson did the opposite.

He stayed in touch - repeatedly - for years after the conviction.

Nobody is banning you from flying the British or English flag.

Nobody is trying to take away your bacon, force you to eat sourdough, ban cow’s milk, or stop you from grating cheese on beans on toast.

🧵 Nobody is trying to take away your pint of beer.

Nobody is forcing anybody to be gay, or trans, or anything else.

Nobody is sending anyone to jail just for saying they’re proud to be English.

Nigel Farage says he wants the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) in order to ‘solve the small boats crisis’.

However, leaving the ECHR would give any UK government near-dictatorial power to impose all manner of horrific laws on British citizens too.

🧵 🚨 Freedom of speech

Without the ECHR, any UK government could simply:

- Criminalise dissent
- Ban critical media
- Censor the internet

And if you speak out against it, you could be silenced - or worse.

Benjamin Netanyahu is about to send 1,000s of troops into Gaza.

But his main objective isn’t just to seize the land and steal resources.

He NEEDS full control for one simple reason:

Because it’s a crime scene - a modern-day holocaust - and he needs to cover it up.

🧵 Gaza is littered with mass graves, massacre sites, and countless corpses.

But that’s just the start.

Israel has done everything to avoid the full horror being revealed - killing journalists en-masse and banning international observers.

Now they want to burn the full evidence.

The Minister for Homelessness is a landlord - and she just evicted her tenants, tried to charge them >£2,000 in illegal fees, then re-listed the property weeks later for £700 more.

The same Minister who claims to fight for renters’ rights.

You couldn’t make it up.

🧵 In March, Labour’s Minister for Homelessness, Rushanara Ali, served notice on four tenants renting her East London property.

No misconduct, no rent arrears - just a Section 21 “no-fault” eviction.

A move her own party is pledging to ban.

Wikipedia is currently in a legal battle with the UK government to try and stop the platform being censored in the UK - or even completely blocked - thanks to the Online Safety Act. Under the new law, the UK media regulator Ofcom is poised to label Wikipedia as a “Category 1” platform.

This would impose the strictest content rules possible - such as:

- age verification for users
- identity verification for contributors
- censorship of ‘harmful’ topics.

You might not know it, but in 2019, a total of 100 Westminster MPs voted to keep abortion illegal in Northern Ireland.

Don't, for even a second, think these people wouldn't try and do the same thing here.

So, for your convenience, here's a list of every single one of them: Steve Baker (Conservative - Wycombe)
Henry Bellingham (Conservative - North West Norfolk)
Paul Beresford (Conservative - Mole Valley)
Bob Blackman (Conservative - Harrow East)
Peter Bone (Conservative - Wellingborough)
Suella Braverman (Conservative - Fareham)

I don’t think I’ve ever felt as hopeless about British politics as I do right now.

We’ve got a pathologically over-entitled manbaby holed up in Number 10 - a conniving coward who’s shamelessly spewed lie after lie directly into the face of the British people, and whose only real function is to simply maintain the very system which allows Eton-educated eejits like him and his elite chums to continue hoarding wealth and power for themselves. A man who conned his way into power by promising the impossible,

🚨NEW: A Unite source tells Evolve that Howard Beckett offered to withdraw from the leadership race if Sharon Graham and Steve Turner could to decide amongst themselves which one would run.

However, they both refused the proposal outright.

A bizarre and intriguing development. Evolve have since contacted both @SteveT_Unite and @UniteSharon for a response.

We will let you know as soon as we receive anything.

The first lockdown was unavoidable. Barely anyone disputes it. We've never had to deal with something like this in modern times.

But lockdowns aren't a cure - they're a stop-gap measure to give governments time to devise long-term strategies in order to avoid another.

[Thread] The Tories themselves said a second national lockdown would be a disaster - and they were entirely right.

But that's exactly where we'll find ourselves again next week.

However, this time around, there is absolutely nobody to blame but the people in power.

So, late last night, major news was leaked to two newspapers that the government is set to announce a new full national lockdown on Monday because deaths were soaring and they had clearly lost control of the virus.

[Thread] The news comes despite the Tories repeatedly insisting they wouldn't have to implement another national lockdown because their £12Bn Test and Trace system was supposedly working perfectly fine (it isn't) and localised measures would be enough to control the virus (they aren't).

Since lockdown in March, Evolve have lost thousands in ad revenue and many subscribers have had to cancel due to their own insecure finances.

A new national lockdown will make it extremely tough for us to survive.

Ben Bradley is literally mouthing off at a local Primary School on Facebook now👇 He keeps on digging:

In the last 9 months:

- Laura Kuenssberg falsely claimed a Labour activist punched a Tory advisor

- BBC edited out audience laughing at Boris Johnson

- BBC called Corbyn’s broadband policy “Communist”

- BBC portrays Rishi Sunak as superman

Our “impartial” public broadcaster. In addition:

BBC bigwigs reportedly said that exposing Boris Johnson’s numerous lies would be wrong because it ‘undermines public trust in democracy’.

Why would Keir Starmer settle a case that Labour's lawyers said the party would win? And why would he choose to spend members' dues on compensation to people who might not have been owed it?

As Corbyn says, the reason can only be political. Firstly, Starmer is clearly hoping that the decision will draw a line under the antisemitism story once and for all.

If he decided to pursue the case, he would have been relentlessly attacked by both the Labour right and the vast majority of the media.

Keir Starmer received £25,000 from Baron Clive Hollick.

Hollick was a former Special Advisor to Peter Mandelson, a founding backer of the New Labour IPPR thinktank, and the former Chief Executive of the Daily Express newspaper. Oh wow.

To all those saying "the Tories wouldn't privatise the NHS! Why would they want to?":

Well, here's a thread of every British asset, industry and public service the Tories have privatised: * British Petroleum (1977, 1979, 1981, 1987)
* International Computers Limited (1979)
* Lunn Poly (1971)
* Rolls-Royce Motors (1973)
* State Management Scheme (1973)
* Thomas Cook (1972)
* British Aerospace (1981, 1985)
* Alvis (1981)
* Coventry Climax (1982)

Owing to an extraordinary security flaw in the Conservative Party Conference app, Evolve Politics have been able to acquire the personal information - including mobile numbers - of numerous Tory MPs and journalists.

The Conservative Party have just committed a huge GDPR breach. We will be reporting the Conservative Party to the Information Commissioners Office in due course.

Fines of up to €20,000,000 can be issued for the most serious GDPR breaches.

This breach is without doubt extremely serious.
