This, from Nadhim Zahawi on Times Radio, is an example of something increasingly prevalent and unchallenged on the UK media: the direct conflation of asylum seekers and sex offenders. There have been some awful cases, but it's an idea is based, as far as I can see, on precisely zero proper evidence.
Women feel they have to beg in Piddington to be made safe because of the high levels of crime and, you know, rape that takes place with these migrants.”

I think the more likely explanation - Farage doesn’t want a security package provided by government that would see where he is and where he is going and meeting 24/7. He would not want this security knowing what he’s doing. He is caught up with many criminals and unsavoury people.

NEW: The Home Office says Robert Jenrick’s claims that Nigel Farage was offered a downgraded security package by the government are “categorically untrue”. “Neither the Home Secretary, nor Ministers are involved in the provision of security for MPs.”

Trump poodle Nigel Farage says World would be a ‘better place’ if US took over Greenland. Appeasement of Trump means all powerful nations are free to expand their borders. Years of conflict & unrest would follow. UK needs political leaders, not poodles.

No surprise that household complaints about privatised water have soared Water is a natural monopoly and they just increased our bills by 35%! PUBLIC OWNERSHIP would save £3-5 billion a year - that money could reduce bills and/or clean up our rivers www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Household complaints to water watchdog soar to highest level in nine years
The increasing number of complaints comes amid the steepest bill rises since the privatisation of the industry.

Banning refugees – people whose asylum claims have been processed by a hostile system and found to be legitimate – from bringing family members has one predictable and awful effect: instead of travelling alone, men will bring their wives and children on small boats, and some will drown.
