Nigel Farage accuses teachers of "poisoning our kids" on race issues.

Here's a reminder of what teachers and fellow pupils at Farage's own school remember of his own views on that subject.

There is no quote-unquote network call Antifa. there is no organization. there’s no hierarchy, no meetings, no dues, no membership cards, no secret handshake—and there is certainly no founder, and no girlfriend. This whole story is a huge f*ck*ng bowl of it never happened and does not exist.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester
