Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

The Labour Party should be ashamed of themselves - and stand up to the far right thugs currently destroying our country. This is what Alf Dubs, 92 year old Labour Peer, has to say. He was one of 669 Czechoslovakian children who came to Britain on the Kindertransport in 1939.

Alf Dubs is a 92 year old man who spent his life fighting for refugees, and in particular for refugee children. He fought the Tories tooth and nail during their last three terms, only to see Labour adopt far-right policies on immigration.

Highlighting the surging inequaility between the super-rich and everybody else isn't 'exploiting divisions'. It's simply pointing the divisions out.

Excellent.
To be fair to Nigel Farage, Reform UK has always insisted that the European parliament is corrupt. And now the party has finally provided indisputable proof.

My Dad escaped the Nazis in 1939 on the Kindertransport.
He went to night school then University, trained as a physicist. Married my mum, brought up 3 kids, all work in public sector.
Under these proposed rules, he would have been deported.
