Farage says he will now vote against scrapping the two-child limit. In case it benefits “foreign-born people”.
It’s not just the racism, it’s the out-of-control personal greed, combined with the staggering meanness.
He’s a repulsively inadequate man.

Why do cycle bridges matter?
Cycle bridges create safe, direct routes for people on bikes, especially across busy roads, railways, or waterways. They remove conflict points with motor traffic, reducing the risk of collisions and making cycling more enjoyable for everyone.

The UK is £90 billion a year poorer because of Brexit i.e. tax rises and spending cuts, it's absurd
One day soon the madness will end and the UK will #RejoinEU ☺️

Powerful piece by @drrachelclarke.com on the COVID inquiry. Those who say it’s easy to be wise in hindsight are being utterly disingenuous. Many of us spoke out at the time, and it’s in the public record.

We hear you, that’s why we’re introducing the Britannia Card™
Because nothing says “supporting working people” like a lifetime tax break for millionaires 🤷

Finland gives every homeless person a house and within 6 months 85% have a job and are financially independent.
Less crime, less hospital visits, less suffering and even including the cost of the house LESS COST than the UK/USA method of abandonment.

You would think most immigrants to the UK were asylum seekers if you listen to the Media but it is less than 4%.
And the housing shortage?
1945-1979 - 5,000,000 council houses built.
1980-2025 - 250,000 council houses built.
That's why.
