Jenrick’s been on quite the journey from a one nation, Remain-voting Tory, through to frothing Brexiter and on to demanding that Royal Marines murder people at sea for daring to seek refuge here. All to impress the country’s racist losers and maybe get a few more votes. Christ he’s repulsive.

Highland Council call for ideas for the Black Isle, Easter Ross and Dingwall, showing cyclists on a rural path, a QR code linking to a survey and the survey deadline "open until 20 November 2026."

Ofcom rules say broadcasters cannot use politicians as newsreaders, interviewers or reporters in any news programmes. So why is Nigel Farage allowed to host his own primetime show on GB News? Demand that Ofcom takes immediate action ⬇️

The UK Daily Mail obviously did not like the results of its own poll. Its own graphic portrays 75% as less than 50%. #UKPolitics #Brexit #EuropeanUnion

Jim Ratcliffe, tax-dodging Brexiter billionaire living in Monaco, says the poorest and most vulnerable should have their rights & benefits removed to bolster our economy. Don’t bother telling us this rancid man’s opinions unless you say how much he’s avoided in tax and what Brexit is costing us all.

It’s not too late to stop this madness - the government has said the uk mega donors are a problem. The lords can bring in a cap on UK donors to stop any attempt to buy the next election. Share this and ask your MP to join us protecting British democracy.

Years of piss-taking as a career politician… Brexit and all the cheating, lies and racism that got him his ‘win’… His pro-Putin and Trump agenda… Rampant crypto corruption, dodgy house purchases and links to criminality… It’s beyond time £5Mill Farage was held to account. And it needs to end him.
The Independent 

Now firmly in the headlines, the convicted criminal, known to his friends as "Posh George", could well be the catalyst to the end of Farage's bid to become prime minister.
