  1. Mass uncontrolled migration (increasing housing costs), and forced multiculturalism (increasing crime), are coming to your neighbourhood very soon – faster than you realise.

    It is time to vote for Reform UK and save our country.

  2. I feel so sorry for him standing in the rain. I'll forget that he and his goons have smashed the nation to pieces and killed a hundred thousand of us.

  3. He'd have been better off wearing a rain proof mac or getting a flunky to hold an umbrella above his head. Or better still doing the speech from inside and, y'know, saying that it was raining or something. At least that would have shown adaptability and common sense. Surely this has gotta be deliberate, no one could be that incompetent
