Or indeed the architect of Brexit, who is widely believed to have applied for German nationality (together with his 2 daughters) shortly after the referendum, but was allegedly refused.
I suppose that the only appropriate sequel to Brexit would be for the UK to elect Farage as PM. We have never before had a PM with only one testicle or one that attended an elite fee-paying school but still didn't manage to go to university.

British five-year-olds are up to 7cm shorter than children of the same age in Europe, with experts suggesting poor nutrition is responsible. Yes, it bloody well is time the two-child benefit cap was scrapped.

Can someone explain to me, like I have the IQ of a tr*mp supporter, HOW, under a PM who used to be an eminent human rights lawyer, it is now an offence in the UK, punishable with arrest, to publicly & peacefully protest against genocide?! Because I'm really fucking struggling with that one...

I keep asking myself why Starmer hasn't stepped in. Reform is a BBC construct. The Greens have more elected councillors and an equal number of MPs, where's their free publicity?

The government are planning on building up to 40,000 homes on disused railway land in the next ten years (great).
However, it's not yet clear what KIND of homes they will be. We don't need more expensive executive apartments.
We need quality affordable and social homes.
