Cry more Patel 😂 Calling Erasmus a “betrayal” is thick, bitter Tory bollocks. It’s a student exchange, not a coup. The Tories smashed it out of spite, then cry treason when Labour fixes it. Screaming Brexit at kids with backpacks just proves how empty, angry and brain-dead Tory politics are.

Top 10% earn more than the other 90%.

A quarter of MPs and a third of the Cabinet have received funding from the Israel lobby.
