Slaughtering Refugees in the Channel in cold blood is monstrous and right out of Trump’s playbook but it also demonstrates the desperation within Reform’s ranks to deflect from their many problems. Long may that desperation continue. Monsters have no place in public office.

For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?
