Imagine TV News covering this farmer protest - banned, but turned up anyway, grinding capital to a halt - if it were about Palestine or climate change, not inheritance tax. Would they present protesters as heroes? Or showing "I need to get to work" and "me auld mam missed her hip operation" voxpops?

The only thing Nigel Farage has ever worked at is being Nigel Farage
Nigel Farage went to Dulwich college which charges £55,155 a year.

He then went on to be a Stock Trader like Rishi Sunak, he has never worked a day in his life.

How on earth can she get away with that outright racism.
I remember battling the NF back in the 70s and that is as bad as the language they used - I thought society had evolved beyond this.
I despair
2025 is the year this has all become openly acceptable and there is no fear of any reaction. Thanks to our politivians and the likes of Robbie Gibb's work at GBNews & the BBC

Also, I know it was only an MPhil, but shame on @cam.ac.uk @bennettinstitute.cam.ac.uk for not saying something

“BBC Sport understands that the fact it was his first red card in 226 international appearances was taken into account.”

Not to mention FIFA knows box office when it sees it.

Corrupt AF.

Hearing Rachel Reeves explain why it is so important to lift hundreds of thousands of kids out of poverty is a reminder of what a Labour government can do. It is also a reminder of how little of this sort of thing they have done and how much more needs to be done.

Tories will be Tories
Tory front benches equally furious at a tax on mansions and hundreds of thousands of kids being pulled out of poverty. Shameful stuff.

Lib Dem leader Edward Davey calls for a national investigation into Russian political interference in British politics:

"Given Reform won't, he must. So will he know launch a national investigation into Russian infiltration into our politics?"

Starmer: "Reform is riddled with pro-Putin propaganda"

"We are freezing known Russian assets."

"But, let me be clear, I don't actually mean the right honourable member for Clacton!"

Is right
She appears to have the instincts of a playground bully
Badenoch is so incredibly unpleasant. Her response is nothing but personal attacks and describing support for kids in poverty as "hand outs". Grim.

Remember that Farage was one of the laziest MEPs.
He rarely turned up for a vote.
I wonder what was so special about this one?😉

The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.

Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

Farage is speaking at Venue Cymru tonight.

Last revamped in 2018 with £1.8 million of EU development money and another £1 million in business development cash.

Original development also received significant EU funding.

Farage, by contrast, will give Llandudno nothing but hot air and lies.

According to Zia Yusuf, Reform UK's former leader in Wales being convicted of taking money to undermine British national interest in favour of Russia is "ancient history". 😂🤣😂

He was sent down for ten years three days ago. Three. Days. Ago. ~AA

Do your job

And the next time you have Farage on, please ask him directly:

…what were the motivations behind this?

The UK is a strongly pro-choice country with 86% of Britons wanting abortion to be legal in all or most cases. But the US anti-choice movement has been investing heavily into campaigns in Britain, and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party seems to be support the interference.
The worrying rise of US anti-abortion rhetoric is in full force - how deep is Reform UK's involvement?
Money is pouring into anti-abortion campaigns in Britain, and it seems Nigel Farage’s party isn’t pushing back…
