Riot Women review – Sally Wainwright’s menopausal punk drama is one of her best

This high-pedigree TV drama about midlife women who form a punk band is up there with Happy Valley and Last Tango in Halifax. It’s rich, plot-packed, and perfectly seasoned with humour

Nigel Farage.
Dodges any accountability for Brexit.
Plays fast and loose with the Clacton House saga.
Talks of nothing but immigration.
Downplays the Nathan Gill story.
Did f*ck all as an MEP; even worse as an MP
Nigel Farage is a con man.

Letter sent to Nigel Farage by Patrick Sargent
Former Reform UK regional Chairman

He is surprised to find out that the limited company he joined:

• Has no democratic structure
• Is not a meritocracy
• Is a Farage vanity project
• Has no policies
• Is not a professional outfit

The vast majority of the UK news media is right-wing. The Guardian, Mirror are the only newspapers centre-left. The Independent is liberal, pro-markets.

The next time this individual appears on the media can someone ask her to justify why she wants to splash £74k on new offices . There is an ongoing cost of living crisis happening and yet Jenkyns thinks it is appropriate to waste money on new offices. So much for Reform promising to save money !

Only months ago, Refuk were stuffing Derbyshire letterboxes slagging off the council boss’s pay as a “waste of money,” even comparing it to the PM’s. Now they’re in power, they’ve upped it to £181k + £20k bonus. Classic Farage lies, all talk before the vote, total sellout after.

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK Party Ltd controls 12 UK councils, and 8 of them are likely to raise council tax next year.
This is despite their promises to cut ‘waste’ to ‘save a lot of money’ using their Trump & Musk-inspired DOGE team, and where are they now — either DOGE team?
A con. Both of them.
