Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Wikipedia editors move quickly, can't fault them on that

Screenshot of a Wikipedia change history entry stating: Ash Regan has left Alba meaning they no longer have an MSP, given this I have removed the party from the infobox

Reading a book on Auschwitz and Nazis and just came across a bit discussing how the Nazis first planned to ship millions of Jews to Africa and how that idea, in 2004 when the book was written, seems 'far fetched today'.

20 years later, how many people did the Tories want to send to Rwanda?

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

You know who doesn't integrate? People like Robert Jenrick. You think he works out at the local leisure centre? Goes to the Tuesday night pub quiz? You think his golf club lets anyone play? Or his private members' clubs let anyone in? He puts the ick in prick
