“I’m deeply worried by the darkening shadow that’s going over the world, a shadow that we have to call fascism”

Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.

French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. You’re only diminishing yourself with comments like this.

You see the people of Clacton being interviewed they couldn't be further away from the wealth of Farage. Add his and his party's links to Russia, criminal acts by many, and it blows my mind. I get some feel let down, but is he the answer?

It's long been clear that ukip/brexit/reform/restore are Russian political interference projects. It's v dated now. Over 10 years of this foreign interference, & yet so many useful idiots in the UK media were sucked in by Farage's public school boy persona, when he was a vicious bully at school.

It’s long been clear that Reform is beatable – Farage’s terrible personal ratings, toxic brand, mass tactical voting against them. The narrative that victory for them is inevitable was based on superficial analysis + wishful thinking on the right.

I think Nick Robinson was trying to ask if the increase in reports of racist abuse of NHS staff was because post Brexit there are supposedly more visibly non-white staff. But he phrased it appallingly and it's a stupid question anyway. Good job he doesn't ask questions for a living...

We all remember that Wales tragically voted for Brexit in 2016 but few pin any blame on Welsh Labour. They should because Welsh Labour didn’t mention the benefits of EU membership in any of its campaign literature prior to May 2016 ✍️Geraint Davies wp.me/p8Mk4U-1pVQ

Pre Brexit we had the power to return illegall immigrants via The Dublin Agreement Farage's Brexit caused the small boats now if their EU application fails they cross to UK for a 2nd bite of the cherry Farage's new plan to tackle small boats: How realistic is it? news.sky.com/video/share-...

Reform's Nigel Farage proposes 'bold' plan to tackle small boats, but how realistic is it?

This is utterly dispicable "The UK Home Office has started stripping some EU citizens of their post-Brexit residency rights, in a move that has raised concerns about Britain’s compliance with its withdrawal agreement with Europe" www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

EU citizens in UK get letters telling them post-Brexit residency rights were given ‘in error’

After years of building lives in UK, potentially thousands of EU citizens could be told they have no right to remain

If Burnham is sincere about "changing the whole approach" to immigration & ensuring there are "safe routes" for refugees, then major changes need to happen at the Home Office. Getting rid of Mahmood would have been a good start! www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Burnham to be ‘relentless’ on small boat crossings after Ceuta crisis

Prime minister says UK needs to ‘bring back that control’ and safe routes for refugees are necessary to tackle trafficking

For days, Reform politicians claimed that significant numbers of migrants who surged into Ceuta would be heading to Calais and onwards to Britain Not only have most already returned to Morocco, but Moroccans have made up just 0.07% of small boat arrivals since 2021 inews.co.uk/news/no-thou...

No, thousands of migrants won't come to the UK from Ceuta - here's why

Fears of a new migration crisis impacting the UK are misplaced despite the chaotic scenes witnessed in Ceuta, an expert has said

Migrant crossings this year are down circa 43% vs 2025 BBC doesn’t mention this until the fifth paragraph of broadcasting Reform saying it’d launch "the largest military operation in the English Channel since World War Two" to tackle small boat arrivals Trying to divert attention from Farage..🙄

Reform UK would use Royal Navy to stop small boats

The party's home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf says it would be the "largest military operation in the English Channel since World War Two”.
