Look at the news even just over the last 3 weeks. The ship has been turned around!

If the government has a referendum BEFORE the next election, it can force parties to write their manifestos based upon the results.

Rejoin can win!

Polls show that many people of the UK believe leaving the EU was a mistake. It is time politicians stopped ignoring the views of the people. The government needs to consult the people about what to do...

The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

Now this is newsworthy. A reduction in the number of people risking their lives.
There have been no small boat crossing in the England Channel for 16 days now.

This is the longest period without any since January 2024 &the 2nd longest since Feb 2020 (pre-COVID).

Nov saw 2338 arrivals - down 25% on the year before.

Sep-Nov quarter was down 18% on the year before.

#prisoner951 Boris Johnson, there are no words. The man belongs in prison just for sheer incompetence and the arrogance to think he should ever be in any position of authority.

It seems that it is wrong to tar the whole Reform Party with the same brush as Nathan Gill and the many Party members who openly make racist comments,

BUT

we should do that to immigrants because a few are bad people.

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.

Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.

No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.

Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

The inimitable John Crace on racists Farage and Pochin. Only John could find humour in this!

Reform is no place for racists, and every party has its bad apples. But the benchmark seems to be higher at Farage’s party

That’s outrageous!

Or is it?

Might the reality be a little more mundane and a little less clickbait-worthy?

Farage insists Reform isn’t racist.

I’ve got 20 documented cases that say otherwise.

When the fringe and the manifesto sing the same tune, you don’t have a crank problem - you have a culture problem.
