Farage says Brexit was a disaster because of Boris Johnson’s deal? Please MEDIA point out that at the time Farage supported his Brexit deal.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Pension triple lock: what's REALLY happening. There’s a huge amount of misunderstanding out there. My must-watch mini-briefing I hope keeps it as simple as possible, so you can see how it’d likely roughly really work. As for is it good or bad… that’s your decision, not mine.

If the triple lock on pensions will be scrapped. The 1st priority is to fix Pension Credit - the top up for the lowest earning pensioners to give them a basic minimum income. Shamefully many 100,000s of the poorest pensions still miss out on what they're entitled to.

I keep trying to point this out russincheshire.substack.com/p/legitimate...
Britain’s birth rate is at a record low, and our population is ageing. In the year 2000 the ratio of workers to pensioners was 6-to-1 (i.e. the tax from six workers supported each pensioner). By 2040 it will have almost halved to 3.3-to-1, and will continue to fall to 2.5-to-one within the lifetime of most people reading this article. 

Let me make this clear for the guy struggling to remember if that’s a balaclava or a potty: that’s three times as much of your tax going on pensions.

Without migration, who's going to pay that tax? The British kids who don't exist, from the British parents who can't afford to raise children?

The RNLI rescued Luftwaffe pilots in WW2 because the organisation is there to 'save life at sea' - it's something to be immensely proud of. But as I've said many times before Farage and Co don't seem to have pride in Britain and its institutions beyond flags and crap Enoch Powell said 60 years ago.
