Farage and the Tories use “small boats” to justify ECHR exit, but in reality, it is a ploy & part of the bigger agenda to deregulate, remove workers’ rights & consumer & environmental protections.

“How will an ambulance get through?” A question only asked of those trying to save our planet, not millionaire landowners trying to hoard wealth. Farmers received record support in the budget. Pay what is still less than your fair share, take your tractors and piss off.
