What Nigel Farage and Reform haven’t worked out is that the more extreme their policies get - eg threatening to use lethal force in the English Channel - the less likely they are to get anywhere near power.

This week on his TV show, Nigel Farage laughed at a clip of a woman in tears because of the racism she’d experienced. “I can’t stop laughing,” he said. When people tell you who they are, believe them. And then don’t vote Reform.

It's nonsense to suggest that people who support Brexit and Reform are motivated by racism. And if you don't believe me, check out this perfectly reasonable tweet by prominent Reform member and former mayoral candidate, Arron Banks.

Dolly Parton was they type of Christian that Christian Nationalists only *pretend* to be. Unlike Christian Nationalists, she didn't browbeat us with how CHRISTIAN she was. She just lived her life doing things that Jesus asked her to do, like heal the sick, help the children, and care for the poor.

271 CommentsAsked if the plans would mean a married British couple would get priority over a single British person, Mr Tice told Times Radio: "Yes, that is the preference. Well, because actually they're doing the right thing. Families are a good thing. Having British children, British-born children is a good thing. We need to encourage that.

"And it's a very natural, normal thing, has been over centuries, for people to get together, to get married, have children and contribute to their communities. And everything that we're doing is focused solely on that."

When pushed on the fact that single people may also have children, Mr Tice added: "They might. But in an ideal world, it is well known that married couples children in married couples, for example will do really well at school.
