Teenage Farage emerges not just as racist but as bullying and sadistic. No wonder he admires Putin and Trump and people fall out with him. Some say he’s no longer racist but nobody denies the rest. Maybe supporters think these are winning qualities. www.bbc.com/news/article...

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform.
The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.

You are a wealth tax that reduces inequality. I am a property tax that funds local government services. We are not the same.
You pay the mansion tax based on today's values, but your council tax is still based on the value in 1992.

I was chatting about British accents today and was asked about mine. I don't think I have much of an accent, but apparently (thankfully), I do. I described it as a hybrid of #Bristolian and #Somerset, which I've decided to call #Bristomerset!

We have been calling for an end to the two-child limit since it was introduced in 2017.
Scrapping it is the most cost-effective way to reduce child poverty, and a welcome step from this Chancellor.

In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.

Trump Angrily Threatened to Sue BBC. Then Things Took a Darker Turn.
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

We're entering silly season in #Bristol, where the council's road repair contractors, #ETM are called out to repair the same pothole on Stoke Lane 3 or 4 times, with all the cost and delays that come with those.
Do BCC ever check the quality of these repairs?

When it comes to peace in #Ukraine, the #WhiteHouse under #Trump is clearly working for #Russia. The Russian wish-list that has been backed by the White House is so clearly against Ukraine, European and #NATO interests, it's inconceivable any previous US administration would've backed it.

Trump is taking a very pro-Russian stance wherever Ukraine is concerned. This current draft deal has been referred to as a Russian wish list. Are US citizens happy with the position their President is taking? Europe will stand firm, with or without Trump.
