There is a real issue of framing in UK politics. If you accept the immigration framing then you've already lost. It is important to shift the debate towards the ultra-wealthy and the contribution they make to society. Force them to defend their position, rather than letting them set the debate.

More disgusting lies from the neoliberal dogsbody - second in command of the dogshit brigade.
What's worse? His lies about his associates.... Or his sucking up to the oligarchy, both here and in Russia.

The extreme rich own the polls and can make them say whatever they want. Don't listen to them!

Yep, he said this, just like Farage said he had never met the Russian Ambassador Alexander Yakovenko. It's almost like they can't help themselves. How do they manage to garner so much support?
One can only imagine that 30% of the country is dimmer than an unplugged bulb on the dark side of Uranus.

We need the National Guard of every state to mobilize with us. Veterans turn out in the tens of thousands. Armed forces show your support by showing up. This isn't about politics any longer but all of our freedoms as Americans. Show all your loyalty to the American People and oaths you took to us!

If and when he invokes the insurrection act we riot all across America tearing corporations who support him and the greedy rich to the ground. When it's over we set up a committee to approve if billionaires and/or corporations can again do business in America.

The Tories call it “discipline.” Economists call it “managed decline.”, and voters call it what it is — madness.

If we can take £47 billion out of the economy, why can’t we invest £47 billion into our communities instead?

What happens when £47 billion disappears from Britain’s economy?

Tory Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride wants to take £47 billion out of the UK economy. That isn't prudence. It's managed decline

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Historians sometimes say that when societies are descending into fascism, it can be hard for the people to notice it in real time. Well, historians of the future: We are noticing.

From Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America.
