Why are the worse types of people in Britain the most heavily-courted voters?
Can you imagine how f*cked up you've got to be to think that a terrifying plague represents an opportunity to f*ck the NHS over?
The founder of an investment company who bought an £8.5 million London flat after supplying 50 million faulty PPE masks during the pandemic has had a criminal restraint order imposed on the property.

Tomorrow at 8am we will be publishing the video of the horrific kill being covered up below ⬇️.
The Beaufort Hunt hunted this fox into a hedgerow, before she was ripped to pieces by their hounds. The video shows the Whipper-in removing the evidence from the scene.

There is something especially depressing about living in a country where the very same shitty "newspapers" who insisted on the hardest of Brexits are now moaning about tax increases

Brexit has cost each and every one of us £3,700 a year.
But instead of solving the problem, Labour are using Brexit as an excuse to raise your taxes.
My message ahead of the Budget: Stop blaming Brexit and start fixing it!

It's often claimed factory farming is needed to provide cheap food, but there are so many hidden costs.

🔥 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.
Brexit made Britain MUCH poorer.

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.
