Nigel Farage at a press conference earlier refused to answer further questions about his racism, and instead resorted to just shouting "Bernard Manning" at a reporter from ITV

Sounds good to me, they might stop featuring him every time he farts.
Nigel Farage has gone to war with the BBC after a radio presenter suggested he had “a relationship when he was younger with Hitler,” vowing he would not speak to the national broadcaster until it apologized for its own past “racist” content.

Streeting using the same tactics that worked so well against trans kids on a different community 🧵👇
Considering Streeting's well stated belief autism, ADHD etc, along with mental health issues, are "overdiagnosed", I won't hold my breath for this doing anything other than being used to cut support, along with opportunities for diagnosis, for people who need it. #r4today

The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

To be clear, WI and GG trustees will have been told they faced personal liability including bankruptcy for breaching fiduciary duty by involving their organizations in legal proceedings they might well lose.
They should be publicly fucking angry and uncivilised about the people responsible.

I learned today that Girl Guides in South Africa was a movement of White Imperialism, & the last Scouting institution to refuse admission of 'non western girls' until growing international pressure finally allowed Black & Indian girls from 1936 -though continued to force segregation of non whites /
