Such an ahistorical, geographically illiterate, and all-around dimwitted take from Harwood. He's one of those entitled people who are so imbued with self-confidence that they rattle crap off, and their followers just accept it to be true.

Yup. See also the curated rise in anti-rationalist fear propaganda (Trump, Vance, RFK Jr etc) which is used to distract, frighten & blind all the people losing out to the elite.

Todd Blanche now says "one-sided news" is a national security threat worth barring the press over. That's not a legal standard. It's a viewpoint test. I didn’t go to law school…and didn’t need to, to know that the First Amendment exists to STOP government from judging which coverage is balanced.

Britain isn't broken. In the last week, I've had superb service from Notts Community Social Care, and from my NHS GP. At 24 hours notice, they've supplied a hospital bed and a hoist at home. The only problem is that 2 carers, 3 times.a day, costs a small fortune.

Thomas called followers to disrupt arrival of asylum seekers in Gosport, but Border Force instead transported them to Dover Charities have condemned footage of far-right activist Daniel Thomas using a blade to slash an inflatable dinghy in the Channel while a rescue worker was onboard, in a further escalation of organised anti-immigration protest. Hundreds of protesters gathered in the early evening at Gosport in Hampshire, aiming to disrupt the planned disembarkation of asylum seekers, but the Border Force vessels carrying them landed instead in Dover.

DRAFT-DODGER TRUMP WRITING HIS NAME ABOVE KENNEDY'S AT THE KENNEDY CENTER, WHICH IS A MEMORIAL, IS LIKE WRITING YOUR NAME ON SOMEONE ELSE'S TOMBSTONE.

Being arrested on suspicion of assault and controlling or coercive behaviour is NOT "a bump in the road" Nigel Farage. It is a very serious crime and should be treated as such, which is why it's completely unsurprising that Reform will "carry on as if nothing has happened". Beyond contempt.

When he addresses the faithful on the final day of the gathering in Brighton, the party leader will call for a global pause on super-intelligent AI, comparing it to a nuclear arms race that could result in technology that could “destroy us all”.
