Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%?

Quick analysis of The Times today:
Wall to wall negative coverage of Labour’s budget. An editorial that tuts about lack of growth but takes no responsibility. And a double page ad to join Farage/Reform.
Absolutely no analysis on how rightwing ideology - including Brexit - has been utterly ruinous.

Today, Nigel Farage reiterated his belief that Enoch Powell ‘was right’.
If you are a Sikh, he’s talking about you - about how ‘wearing turbans whilst driving a bus would disrupt Britain’.
If you are black, he’s talking about you - how when you moved in next door to white people, you ‘took over’.

They need to proscribe farmers & the NFU as a terrorist organisation then they could arrest them.
Farmers were banned from protesting in Whitehall by Police but went ahead & broke the law by doing so👇🏼
September 857 were arrested for showing support for Palestine Action.. a group calling for an end to Genocide in Gaza
Farmers are bitching about Death Duty.. so how many arrests so far❓

Bring it on Nigel. Taking this stuff to court pumps it back into the headlines again & again & again. The oxygen of court theatre & licence for the media to pick it over on a daily basis. Looking forward to it.
If you receive legal threats from Nigel Farage for your reporting of Reform, please get in touch.

Keep in mind that this serial liar also promised a hundred times during the campaign that he would be able to end the war “in 24 hours” with “one phone call” to Putin because he has “a great relationship” with him, “knows just what to say to him,” & “it won’t even be that hard.”

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:
a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

So Reform Wales boss Nathan Gill gets 10+ years jail and it perhaps becomes clearer as to why Farage and MEPs from his Brexit Party (now Reform) voted against a European Parliament resolution in Oct 2019 that called for stronger EU measures to counter Russian propaganda and election interference.
