I implore someone, anyone, in the media…

Do your job

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

…what were the motivations behind this?

🔥 Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.

A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:

A 6–8% hit to GDP

That's £180bn-£240bn a year

It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.

Asked again and again whether he ever racially abused his fellow pupils, as 20 people at his old school have now said he did, Nigel Farage will only say that he never did so in a "hurtful way" or "with intent"

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.

Oh diddums. The poor little Johnsons. He’s being vaguely held to account for his grossly negligent time in office. And she doesn’t feel rich. Boo fucking hoo.

Meanwhile, our country would be so much happier today if that family had never had a whiff of power.

🚨 BREAKING: John Major says Brexit was an act of collective folly.
It made 🇬🇧 poorer, weaker and cut off from 🌍 biggest market.

He’s right and it’s exactly what the data, job losses, exodus of 🇬🇧 citizens, collapsing industries and EU’s new demands all show.

Brexit detonated our economy and our politics. Since then, our country seems to have lost its mind, veering off to the right, reawakening the racism genie, ruining itself to try to hide the dishonesty and snowballing damage of it all.
And now Farage could be PM ffs.

Much as I am pleased about a change of regime at the BBC. It really pisses me off that they allowed a foreign government to exert such power in that decision. We all know Trump encouraged the insurrection - the BBC were just very clumsy how they portrayed it 😡😡

BBC said nothing

Only now Labour are in Govt 4 are important❗️🤷🏼‍♂️
At least four prisoners freed in error still at large, BBC told
