Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

No other party says the basic truth: migration is good for Britain.

The real problem? Inequality, soaring bills, underfunded public services.

That’s driven by the greed of the super rich and the Labour government who serve them - not by migrants.

Geoengineering is designed to facilitate business as usual and keep consumer capitalism in the fast lane

Hacking the Earth while pumping out colossal quantities of CO2 is like giving a poisoned patient an antidote while administering more poison
