Maybe the King might like to donate too? Or maybe the Government could actually implement a fair & managed migration system?

When Blyth wind farm opened in December 2000, it was described as the first ‘truly offshore’ wind farm in the world 🌊

Our Land, a new documentary, interrogates the connections between land, power and a sense of belonging following the Right to Roam movement in England and Wales. It captures the tension between public campaigners fighting for greater access to nature and landowners.

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage gets an easy ride from the media. They give him as much airtime as he wants but never hold him to account for the damage he’s done.
So much of what’s broken in Britain is thanks to Nigel Farage.

Why is the Reform Party's Russian links not a major news story?
Given how much the China spy case has dominated headlines, it really does beg the question: why is our political-media class so uninterested in Nathan Gill, his Russian bribes, his once close associate Nigel Farage, and Reform UK?
