Farage plans to ditch workers’ rights, cut the NMW, scrap the Equality Act, legalise discrimination, take us out of the ECHR and have a deregulation bonanza to remove our protections and make it easier to exploit and endanger us… for profit. He couldn’t give a shit about working people.

Reform UK is the true party of the workers now If I am prime minister there will be no tax payable on overtime. Millions will be noticeably better off

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

it’s such shibboleth of modern politics to blame politicians for failing town centres when the primary driver is - surely - all of us buying more and more stuff online

A detail I didn’t know: “The Herald entered the Epstein series for a Pulitzer Prize that year, but it was not a finalist. Alan Dershowitz … who helped broker Epstein’s original deal, wrote a letter to the Pulitzer committee that year, urging them not to honor Brown’s work.” share.inquirer.com/THMiUZ

Julie K. Brown receives Pulitzer Prize special citation for her work on Jeffrey Epstein case

Brown's 2017 and 2018 reporting was cited at the awards ceremony. “Her work, and the government’s release of the Epstein files, continue to reverberate around the world.”

Trump was asked what he thinks of Putin giving Iran coordinates to kill US soldiers in the middle East, he answered: "We're helping Ukraaaine, so it's fair!". Yesterday he had a 90 minute phonecall with Putin. An hour later he posted on Lie Asocial to pull back military help from Germany. Traitor!

While Boris Johnson was mayor of London there were 72,000 knife attacks, 16,000 gun crime offences, and at least 62,000 racially motivated violent crimes. But apparently, those didn't count.

I’ve seen an excerpt from an interview on radio Sussex and Surrey with Nigel Farage and the interviewer was excellent. She would not be silenced by his aggressive, sarcastic tone to deflect from Reform UK’s lack of policy on social care. Why can’t the national news broadcasters do this?
