Tice is an idiot. One thousand people dead in two months from extreme hot weather and he says - enjoy it. One hundred thousand will die in Europe this summer. Tice says see the positives….. He lives in a bubble disconnected from ordinary people and their reality.

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

Every creature leaves a mark on the Earth. And humans? We leave behind plastic bottles, packaging, containers, and trash. The saddest part is that we are the only species that understands the damage—yet we keep doing it. Our footprint should be one of responsibility, not pollution.

Gradually, Farage's real character is becoming apparent. He's not a jovial guy who'd buy you a pint (and he drinks beer only in public). He's deeply involved in the international far right, funded by shady characters, and he subscribes fully to Trump's cruel policies. Do we want a UK ICE?

Oh this is brilliant from Victoria Derbyshire! If only all journalists were like this with Reform (i.e. highlighting the truth, holding them to account, pointing out their hypocrisy and attempts at gaslighting the voters)...then they would be back down in single figures in the polls.

Farage reckons kicking legal migrants out of the country will save "£234bn". So I did the sums, taking into account % of immigrants vs natives who are working, paying tax, claiming benefits, average salaries etc. If Farage is right about immigrants, then natives would cost Britain £1.92 trillion.
