@Nigel_Farage

How is it that Danny Tommo sits in a cell while five suspected terrorists are out on bail?

Is this two-tier Britain, or am I missing something?

Here's one view of today, a lot of which I concur with I've remained mainly quiet about Burnham post Starmer (who I eviscerated most days) That speech is of a different order. Of course there are bits I don't like (not many), bits that lack substance and others I like It's given me a bit of hope

Electoral reform: “I hear you, I agree with you, and today I am announcing a new national commission on electoral reform.” Biggest opportunity to reform FPP in perhaps a century has now arrived. But long way to go…

Knot flocks touch down in today's Autumn Arrival Spotlight, arriving from the Arctic to join resident birds. Watch and wonder as thousands gather on tidal mudflats at RSPB Snettisham, creating mesmerising aerial displays as they move in unison.

Robert Jenrick

The 5 RAF base terror suspects have been released on bail.

Meanwhile Danny Tommo has his bail denied.

It looks insane on the face of it. Are the police going to explain what's going on?

Very old fashioned I know, but I still have a hankering for a world in which people can live the life they want to live as long as they don’t seriously harm others or put their own life and health at too high risk (and in the latter case there’s room for discussion).

Milei has been pushing austerity to reduce inflation and stabilise public finances, but cuts to subsidies and weak wage growth are hitting households. Milei refuses to back down from the austerity program, insisting fiscal discipline is necessary for long-term growth.

for the uninitiated...there's close to no economic growth outside the EU single market. i.e. the UK economy is very vulnerable to global shocks, Another run on UKG Bonds and GBP£ is expected soon.
