The correct response to this would be to make all the evidence used to draw the conclusion public, then challenge Farage to respond, otherwise people will just pick their opinions on the matter based purely on who they trust.

The RNLI has said the abuse of volunteers in Portsmouth has forced it to close the lifeboat station there and stop operating since September 10. Nearby stations have been providing cover to the area instead. One of the UK's largest coastal cities without a lifeboat because of the far-right.

This article must have been written at least a couple of hundred times now, without anyone ever making a convincing argument for it. £100,000 puts MPs comfortably in the top 4% of earners. How would putting them in the top 0.5% instead make them any better representatives of the remaining 99.5%?

RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.

Among the very many dim takes around the Ceuta incident... the very, very dumbest must be the assumption in Reform circles that all those people were somehow trying to make it to Britain. How exceptionalist and indeed exceptionally stupid can you get?

The outcome was inevitable. But like "2-Tier", "De-Banking", "Family Voting" - the grandstanding was never designed to highlight an actual issue. It was to bolster conspiracy theories & gobble up column inches. Col inches that might otherwise have been populated with Qs about George Cottrell.
