Heard some guys on a podcast the other day comparing something to The Emperor‘s New Clothes and it was clear one of them thought the story includes a wizard who makes the Emperor’s clothes disappear, and it’s actually very important about that story to understand there’s no wizard

Despite widespread claims, leaving or weakening the European Convention on Human Rights would have no impact on reducing irregular migration. Instead, it risks weakening human rights for every person in the UK. Read our explainer blog: www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue…

Half the uk population are women, therefore half the electorate, are women. Nigel Farage backs his candidate in Makerfield, who thinks women belong in the kitchen & can't drive. You don't have to vote Labour, just don't vote Reform. It's that easy.

I have many issues with Keir Starmer. But his response to Nigel Farage in the House of Commons today was dignified, firm and quietly powerful. It exposed Farage for the shallow and heartless opportunist he is. Could we please see much more like this from the government.
