You cannot take a political party tasked with managing OUR hard earned money seriously if they are going to announce a nonsense £90 billion tax giveaway only to dump it weeks later due to its total lack of credibility.

Reform UK Ltd will bankrupt this country.

I am old enough to remember that we went to war against fascism. And that Russians were the bad guys. Nigel Farage seems to have forgotten all this.
He is a traitor to the UK. He only care about himself and his bank account. He is not a patriot.

Thousands gather in London in march for ‘lasting peace’ in Gaza

Director of Palestine Solidarity Campaign says ceasefire agreement says nothing about ‘system of apartheid’ in Palestine • Gaza ceasefire – live updates Thousands of people have gathered in central London to call for “lasting peace” in Gaza, a day after the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas came into effect. The demonstration, organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, began at Victoria Embankment on Saturday. Stalls sold keffiyehs and people handed out placards that read “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”, “it’s not a crime to act against genocide” and “Starmer has blood on his hands, free Palestine”.

'Farage could never be trusted to run Britain after getting Brexit so wrong'

No Brexit champion, particularly Nigel Farage, is worthy of high office after proving so conclusively wrong on such a seismic issue, says Mirror Associate Editor Kevin Maguire

Amazing bit of 2019 footage this.

Frei doing a great job of trying to hold Farage to account as he and Nathan Gill go walkabout.

And I suspect Farage will come to regret his quip at the end about Russians if it does the rounds again.

Nathan’s mate Nigel sure did seem to want to brush it all away when questioned by Matt Frei back in 2019.

“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.

Numerous polls have been conducted on withdrawing or not from the ECHR.

The more recent polls have given a clear majority (over 50%) staying in the ECHR.

The evidence is clear, withdrawal commands neither majority support nor political urgency.

Boris Johnson breached rules designed to stop abuse of contacts made in public office, watchdog finds

Johnson found to have breached rules after refusing to answer specific questions about allegations published by the Guardian Boris Johnson breached rules designed to stop the abuse of contacts and access made in public office, an ethics watchdog has found. Last month the Guardian published revelations about Johnson’s conduct since leaving office. The Boris Files, a trove of documents from the former prime minister’s private office seen by the Guardian, suggested he repeatedly broke rules forbidding him from exploiting contacts made in office for private gain.

I ask again. Who is paying the reparations to the Palestinians? Their homes have gone. Their livelihoods have gone. They have lost family members. They need homes, schools, hospitals. Water. Electricity.

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)
