Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.

We often think of trees as good for wildlife. But what if they're also becoming critical for our own survival? As temperatures rise, shade is no longer just a comfort – it's a necessity. Kate Moore explains why trees may be one of the most powerful tools we have for adapting to climate change.

Not for the first time, Nigel Farage has no idea what he’s talking about. I work in school attendance and I see we’re the latest people he’s accusing of anti-white prejudice. Schools have a duty to address all attendance issues. That has to be done on a case by case basis.

Two in five white working-class pupils miss school once a fortnight. Some 40% of these pupils are
"persistently absent". White working-class kids are being let down.
We constantly hear of "systemic inequality" and
"disadvantages", but never are these terms applied to white working-class children. In this culture of anti-white prejudice, it is assumed that these kids are in fact advantaged.
Nothing could be further from the truth. It is clear that our system has left these children behind. Despite the assumptions of our political class, many of them are not benefitting from the fruits of our education system.
Reform is the only party that sees these children. This is because we want every child to succeed regardless of their ethnicity.
Two-tier Britain has ignored this problem for too long.
Reform is here to fix it.

The media forensically dissects the pasts of people who challenge the status quo, such as Polanski and Corbyn. Fair enough, up to a point: we should know about our representatives. But it's far less inquisitive about those who defend power, however great their misdeeds, such as Nigel Farage.🧵
