We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Reform, Farage and Tice: it’s all about the money

The leaders of the hard right party are raking it in. Do any of them have any time left over for the boring stuff in life – like representing their constituents?

More than half of ALL government shut down days in the history of America have come under just one president.

Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.
