Reform have suggested housing Asylum Seekers in the Falkland Islands. There are only 3,470 people on the Falklands, and we have to subsidise them £300,000,000 on top of what an ordinary citizen in the UK costs. Housing them in the Falklands would be more expensive than Rwanda.

Her paternal grandfather's family is of Dutch Jewish descent and her paternal grandmother's family were from Germany and included a left-wing senator representing Saxony. Her grandmother's family moved to England to escape political persecution.

Policing football matches in the UK costs £30m a year. The billionaire Premier League pays just £7.4m of that. Isn't it time they pay for policing before giving their players £500,000 a week?

Nothing screams financial acumen and fiscal responsibility like Reform not knowing you have to charge VAT on goods and services provided in the UK❗️🙄 They weren’t avoiding tax, unlike when both Farage and Tice used tax havens because when you got millions you want ti hang onto every penny..

The botched Brexit deal dreamt up by the Farage and delivered by the Conservatives has brought nothing but red-tape and economic misery. The government must now deliver their promised “EU-reset” - starting with a new UK-EU Customs Union.
