Be rather nice within 3 days of the November elections, all those news media who bent the knee, will suddenly find they can stand up.and they'll stop peddling Trump's bullshit & lies- and start to publish the truth about him and his cabinet, his corruption, his bad policies, and maybe even Epstein?

"Shabana Mahmood is the cabinet minister responsible for the UK’s policing and its national security – as well, of course, as managing the country’s borders…I include this reminder because Mahmood increasingly seems to be operating under the assumption that her job only concerns the latter."

If Shabana Mahmood is tough, why is she so slow to crack down on Danny Tommo and the far right?
Weeks of what looks like blatant lawbreaking have finally resulted in an arrest. But the home secretary seems happy to look elsewhere

It was said to me today that if UK ruled never - ever- to give asylum, or 'free' money to anyone who arrived on our shores via illegal migration ( ie: the boats) then it would stop the illegal immigration problem. I was lost for words 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I need help with a logical answer to that

I understand that people are buying RNLI Christmas cards in order to add money to all the donations which are flooding in.
Now it appears that some are planning to buy them and send them to Reform's free post address.
Really, if you did that, it would cost them an awful lot of money.
But people want to know if such an address exists.
It does.
