Jenrick's "robust" language? The guy can't mind his language and expects to be taken seriously as a statesman? A race-baiting, migrant-child-distressing, joke.
Additionally, if all he sees are brown and black faces and assumes they're of a monolith, then he is racist.

We teach our kids British values:
Democracy.
Respect for the law.
Individual liberty.
Mutual respect.
Tolerance of other faiths.

If Farage doesn't like these fundamental values of his own country, maybe he should "go and live abroad" as he promised he'd do if Brexit was a disaster.

Oh look - Farage.

In the US - again. This time slagging off UK teachers. Next thing you know he’ll be there having a go at our vicars, doctors and nurses.

This man seriously, seriously dislikes Britain, doesn’t he?

This feels like a guaranteed entry into next week’s issue of Bearly Newsworthy.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

I disagree.

RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

So many people Farage is well acquainted with but denies any knowledge of. Any competent investigative journalist would be all over this like a rash. What is the fourth estate doing? Obeying in advance? Surely not.

Once again, for those at the back…
MPs receive a salary in the 🇬🇧 top 5%, they should be barred from ALL second incomes whatsoever and required to maintain a 95% attendance at the House of Commons (the state school attendance target IIRC)

Twelve Jobs Nigel has earned over £1 million in additional income since the general election.

To understand the scale of it, since the July 2024 election he's earned roughly £100k more as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion than Starmer gets as PM.

Reform UK on Staffordshire Council have decided to spend £142,000 on political assistants.

Here’s Reform Staffordshire’s Chris Large last month saying they were going to introduce a ‘headcount freeze’.

Thanks to London’s bold action, almost 10 million people are now breathing cleaner air.

That means fewer children will grow up with stunted lungs and fewer people will have to suffer from asthma, dementia and heart disease.
