Nobody should be complacent when the far right can mobilise on this scale. This country is at a dangerous moment.

Do as I say, not as I do. Farage slams Rayner when he too has underpaid stamp duty, got paid through a private company to avoid tax and had an Isle of Man tax haven. Pale blue hypocrite. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

'Hypocrite' Nigel Farage didn't pay £44k stamp duty then blasted Angela Rayner
Last year Nigel Farage announced he had bought a house in Clacton, Essex, but in fact it was his partner Laure Ferrari, 46, who shelled out almost £900,000 for the property

Protesting over Gaza’s starvation feels like screaming into a void – but we mustn’t stop | Nesrine Malik
Political platitudes and a few trucks of aid won’t save the children dying now. But they show leaders can’t ignore public opinion for ever, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

What Palestine Action did was not 'terror.' They damaged military aircraft alleged to be linked to the IDF's war effort. Nobody was hurt. People are killed and maimed in the genocide. We need a sense of proportion, not the government's knee-jerk authoritarianism.
