Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

Nigel Farage pocketed a £5 million Brexit reward. When he promised we would be better off, he clearly only meant himself. 10 years on, it's time to end the chaos and fix our broken relationship with Europe, starting by joining the single market.

To me, these small moments are more revealing than any long essay on impartiality. Every gov't has released official PM photos for decades. Since 2010 there's been a dedicated 10DS photographer. Several Tory PMs controversially employed personal ones on top. Only a Lab PM would be treated this way.

Strongly disagree with Nelson on his claim that Farage offers “*genuine* hope to people who feel betrayed by the established parties” As with Brexit, it’s hope built on lies and prejudice, funded by corrupt power-brokers who offer nothing but cost and loss to ordinary people. The ultimate betrayal.
Extract:

How did Nigel Farage manage to rustle up £215,000 to invest in Kwasi Kwarteng’s crypto company?
….

 Nine years ago, aged 53, he declared himself “skint” because “there’s no money in politics”.

Only two years ago he was telling friends that he could not afford to run in the coming election. Then suddenly, his fortunes seemed to change — and change utterly. How? The likely explanation emerged this week: he was given £5 million by Christopher Harborne, a Thailandbased crypto billionaire and Reform UK donor. The money, Farage says, was a personal gift — so, not disclosable. It was to pay for bodyguards, he said, making him “safe and secure for the rest of my life”. But such protection costs are, at most, £300,000 a year. Farage was given a lifetime of financial security, clearing the way for his return to the political arena. Albeit with a lifelong feeling of debt to Harborne, who sits in a web of interlocking global financial interests.
….

Harborne says he wants nothing in return for his donations. Perhaps.

But it just so happens that Farage proposes a new “Big Bang” that could add tens of billions to crypto companies’ market value. A Reform government would order HM Treasury to stop work on its own digital currency apparatus, which could threaten the current crypto elite. The Bank of England would instead be told to hold Bitcoin, elevating it from a cowboy currency to a UK-approved official asset class.

Tax on crypto trades — and only crypto trades — would be cut from 24 to 10 per cent.

All this would greatly help Tether, a crypto giant in which Harborne holds a 12 per cent stake. Farage says the company is worth $500 billion. If he’s right, then Harborne could afford to give away £5 million a day, each day, for the next two years and barely eat into 1 per cent of his fortune. By the standards of UK politics, Harborne’s donations are enormous: no living man has ever given as much to any party.

New Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar appeared as a guest on state television M1 for the first time and made shocking statements:
-We will suspend this channel's news service. This isn't about me; I'm not seeking revenge. Our people deserve journalism that reflects the truth.
-We will nationalize the assets given to businesspeople and foundations during the Orbán era.
-The Mathias Corvinus Collegium Foundation, close to Orbán, was transferred 10% of MOL (oil company) and Gedeon Richter (pharmaceutical company) for free. We will take back these shares.-After 16 years of the Orbán era, 400,000 Hungarian children in this country are living in deep poverty.
-President Sulyok is no longer the president of this country in my eyes or in the eyes of the people.
-(In response to the host asking about his meeting with Zelensky as a counterpoint) I get your joke, and l even like it. But your references no longer carry any meaning.
-According to you, Germany has collapsed, there's no internet there, people aren't even having sex. The Hungarian people were laughing at you.
-It was said on this channel that even my young children won't talk to me, when in fact my children live with me.-(When the host interrupted him)
No host in this studio ever dared to interrupt Hungary's most corrupt and most lying prime minister.
-(When asked about the legal basis for closing the news service) For someone on this channel to accuse me of breaking the law looks like a thief accusing the police.
