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.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

If only someone had warned us that leaving the world’s biggest single market might make us vulnerable to, you know, markets.

But we wanted to “take back control.”

Congratulations - we’ve taken it all the way back to the 1970s.

It’s grim that our largely mythical immigration issue has to dominate seemingly every policy decision.

There are plenty of good reasons for ID cards - immigration isn't one.

There are plenty of issues with ID cards - Tony Blair's son being involved isn't one, whether it's true or not.

By forcing the announcement to focus on immigration, the Government allowed more space than necessary for b0llocks.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Answers on a postcard. Farage - who is currently in line to be the next Prime Minister of the UK - won't explain this mounting ties to a hostile foreign power. We need more investigation and public inquiry before its too late 12/12

If you don’t like being called a racist, maybe don’t make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, don’t create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, don’t fawn over racist world leaders, and don’t make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.
