Farage's great political achievement was to get the BBC to normalise the politics of the NF and BNP. Reform are identical to these fascist parties of old but their treatment by the media is totally different. Our peace and security is being pissed away by idiots.

Richard Tice publicly sticks to Reform’s police that renewable power is a “massive con” and supports its plan to tax solar farms.
But behind the scenes, he just can’t stop installing solar panels in his businesses… www.thenewworld.co.uk/rats-in-a-sa...

Word of the day is ‘tamalou’: a French name for an older person who no longer greets their friends with ‘how was your holiday?, but with ‘t’as mal où ?’, ‘where does it hurt?’. There follows an enthusiastic account of aches and pains and doctor’s appointments.

More trouble for Starmer on the way - for as Boris Johnson showed, a large absolute majority is worth little if you can't convince your ministers and MPs to back you:
(1/2) With a heavy heart, I have written to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as a whip.
Whilst I will continue to support the government in delivering the change the country so desperately needs, I cannot vote in favour of the proposed reforms to disability benefits.

Born in the decade after WW2 we had many advantages, gifted to us by the sacrifices & collective values, of our parents’ generation.
My wealth came through hard work, luck, but also a supportive state.
I should be paying back.
Rachel Reeves should be taxing me more...

'Keir Starmer has got it wrong - here's why we're not an island of strangers'
Real Britain reports on All Souls church, which closed in 1986, became a magnet for anti-social behaviour, until community worker Inayat Omarji decided to try to do something about it

You can do it without reducing small boats crossings at all!!
This is Nigel Farage’s immigration doom-loop & Starmer is up to his neck in the death trap like the Tories before him 🤦♀️
