Ofcom rules are clear: broadcasters cannot use politicians as newsreaders, interviewers or reporters in any news programmes. So why is Farage allowed to have his own show on GB News? Add your name to demand that Ofcom takes immediate action.

Donald Trump has released a very long, very boring post saying he should have got the Nobel Peace Prize. I agree. Lets give it to him when he dies, which will be a big contribution to World Peace.

The big one is my daughter, whom I rescued from the streets a few years ago. Now, I found this little, scared puppy and brought her home; she instantly took on the role of her "mother" and guards him constantly. Couldn't resist capturing such a lovely moment..

Jewish anti-Zionists condemn Board of Deputies attempt to appropriate Cable Street
In reality, in 1936, the BOD actively opposed Jews taking any part in the defence of Cable Street and its local communities.

UK diesel price hits record high of £2 a litre. Record profits for oil companies and tax take by govt. Also tells story of deindustrialization: In the 1970s the UK had 18 oil refineries, now 4. We are rightly moving to renewables but economy still left vulnerable. Any national planning?
