Decent politicians need to push back against Farage's comments on Lucy Connelly.
"millions of mothers after Southport feeling exactly the same way"?
No.
Millions did NOT feel the need to call for mass murder of asylum seekers & we simply cannot allow the idea to be normalised.

In the next GE, the only way Labour achieves growth is an ambitious Brexit reset - a return to completely frictionless EU/UK trade.
