Unlike William and Kate, I couldn't afford to put my son's name down for Eton. But I did manage to get him on the waiting list for an NHS dentist, which is at least a start.

To my media industry. Last night we saw a pogrom. A racist violent attack against people of colour aiming to expel innocent human beings from our streets. This was not chaos, unrest, a riot, a scary incident but a pogrom. Let’s be accurate if nothing else.

Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.

This Reform leaflet from three Gateshead candidates looks like a timelapse of the same person
Leaflet of three candidates, white blokes with limited hair, all in glasses.

Introducing your Reform UK candidates for Low Fell

leaflet text:

**ATKINSON, John**

**HENDERSON, Iain**
Reform UK

Iain has lived and worked in Gateshead all his life. Now retired, he wants to give something back to the borough. With a positive outlook, Iain is looking forward to making a real difference to the lives of the residents of Low Fell and to working closely with them.

Plenty have clocked how Nigel Farage talks to women journalists — pure condescension: “listen, love,” “go write your silly little story.” Know your place. No shock from a man who praises Andrew Tate. The real surprise? It’s only being called out now.

The main argument against rejoining the EU is that it would "embolden Farage". Bullshit. It would expose Farage. It would force him to oppose the majority of voters, remind them that his last "Great Crusader" left us poor and powerless, and force him to admit he wants us to remain that way.

"This is the most shamelessly, brazenly, openly corrupt and compromised government in modern American history and, astonishingly, the person who sits at the center of much of that corruption and compromise isn’t even a member of the government: It’s Jared Cory Kushner, First Son-in-Law." - me

👀 Jared Kushner... Redacted?
The president's son-in-law is at the center of a huge new scandal. Plus: the Trump administration's war on the climate and the Pakistani government's war on Imran Khan's health.

How long are we going to hear about “legitimate debates and concerns about immigration?” It’s time we told the truth and deal with it. Net migration is low, we need more migrants, we are an ageing population. Highly skilled and low paid jobs are dependent on migrants. We need safe and legal routes.

Powerful white men once equated Black people with monkeys to justify their abduction, deportation, enslavement, lynching and segregation. The heinous image that Trump shared is explicit racism. There is no nowhere for his supporters to hide. Supporting him is incompatible with basic human decency.
