Belittle female reporters and journalists. Straight from the Trump/Bannon playbook…unsurprisingly.

Just listen to him evading a perfectly reasonable question. You can celebrate his success if you like but imagine what he will be like when he starts doing things you don’t like. Stuff that affects YOU directly. Anyone old or disabled but not rich has reason to worry. https://t.co/ubBrxFiHT9

Keep asking! Keep making him squirm. Don't let him keep dismissing these questions. You can tell there's more to this that he doesn't want people to find out. https://t.co/KDy2eRyXyz

He copies the orange man baby in his attitude to the media & women.

Reform has a serious misogyny problem.

Straight out of the Trump playbook. Just waiting for him to say, "Quiet, piggy".
Hope the media stick at this until they get answers. He's been allowed to get away with too much for too long.— Mildale (@mildale50) May 8, 2026

What did he buy, a £5m pack of condoms? https://t.co/27xboN7bsy

If journalists simply move on from this (prediction: there will be more bribes discovered) then they will actively facilitate an openly corrupt PM entering No10. https://t.co/JT3Q0taAaI

The man's an arsehole.
He can't bear scrutiny, he can't bear having tough questions asked of him by a woman, he can't handle himself when journalists hold him to account.
Crooked, arrogant, and clearly all too aware he should've declared this donation. https://t.co/9h1GjjXTbA

Krishnan Guru-Murthy had a prediction.
Avoiding interviews in the week before polling day but after the £5 million “gift” had been exposed worked well for Reform as a media handling strategy, but the questions will now keep coming. https://t.co/7b8fqbUCD2
