Here's a picture of my Mum-in-Law proudly wearing her Antifa uniform in 1944, aged 18. We celebrated her 99th birthday today.
Someone better tell that pip-squeak Johnson & the rest of his MAGA cults to go swivel on an upside down porcupine & maybe read some history books.
Little prick 🖕

Cracking piece in FT about Brexit & Tories talent pool Stephen, spot on!
Shame our PM seems reluctant to consign it to history even if Wes Streeting has now broken silence!

He could've cheered us up with a greatest hits show. Replay the Farridge demolition. Maybe get him back in for a rematch... Pay per view? Split the purse.

What a hypocrite.

Farage told the gathered media outside court that

Khan was a "violent criminal"

Farage described the threat as "pretty chilling" during the trial, adding: "Given his proximity to guns and love of guns, I was genuinely worried."

Lucy Connoly, being welcomed to the Reform 2025 conference but Nigel Farage.

Lucy urged her followers on X to "set fire" to hotels housing asylum seekers.

The next time a Brit enters the EU, you’ll need to register your fingerprints and have a photo taken.

That data stays in the system for three years. It’ll automatically log when you enter and leave, enforcing the 90-days-in-180 rule
