As anti-Labour media will always put words in her mouth, why not beat them to it:

"Yes it's true, Daily Mail readers, we are coming for you and your money because a) everyone else had to pay under the Tories b) Brexit screwed the poor c) you voted for both. Cheers, Rachel."

YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP.

Today Nigel Farage said the government should cut the minimum wage for young people

...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business"

It's £10ph FFS!

Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger

DO YOU SEE IT NOW?

Another 55mins of Farage carried live by BBC and Sky, in which he rambled for twice as long as briefed, and yet managed to say little of substance.

Why can broadcasters not simply give us 3mins of the low-lights after the event, as they would do with most other politicians? ~AA

Nigel Farage currently railing against Parliament being full of "professional politicians".

He founded UKIP in 1993 and was first elected as an MEP in 1999, twenty-six years ago. Less than 5% of current MPs (31 to be precise) have a longer career in politics than Farage. ~AA

Good to see unelected gobshite Zia Yusuf on the Laura Kuenssberg show. For a moment there I thought they might go for a week without representing a party with ONLY FIVE MPs!

Lady with necklace, "If we're so concerned about the welfare of women why aren't we investigating the increase in femicide, the increase in domestic violence, increase in assault and sexual harassment"

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Agreed. And while we're at it, Tories moaning about £500 to get a criminal migrant on a plane when they paid over £4K per head to get 3 people on a plane to Rawanda. And goodness knows what other "strange financial stuff" is yet to be uncovered!

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story.

Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done.

You need to scroll down to paragraph 13 of the Sky piece to find the full story!

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people:

Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)
Q: One theory on how you might try to serve a 3rd term is that you could run at the vice president

TRUMP: Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that. But I would rule that out because it's too cute.

It keeps getting worse for the HMP Chelmsford authorities.

Kebatu went back there four or five times and attempted to hand himself in, knowing he would be deported. The authorities sent him away, telling him he had been released.

By "Labour haven't done anything", I assume Zack is trying to hide these Labour actions:

This government negotiated the deal, with the Turkish government, and it’s the first significant one for these jets since 2017. Also the article states that Turkey has been trying to purchase them since 2023. More importantly it secures 6,000 jobs in the UK.

Christopher Harborne is by far the largest donor to Nigel Farage he has donated £13.7m since 2019.

He lives in Thailand and owns QinetiQ defence company which makes Laser and AI weapons for the USA.

Nigel Farage is literally owned by the US Military Industrial Complex.

It’s just a real shame the @thetimes.com assistant political editor @geraldinescott.co.uk couldn’t be bothered to write a hit-job piece on #TwelveJobsNigel instead.

Farage: epic grifter
I’m glad you admitted your mistake, so your followers can see. I’m not happy with some of the things labour has done this last year and a half, but he is out there trying to get good deals for this country.
So the two other women panellist allowed him to speak, yet he feels the need to interrupt her. This happens all the time, men speaking over women. The dismissive way he states that advertising is over representing people of diverse cultures is appalling.
