Farage says his £5 million gift was a “reward” for Brexit.
The rest of us were rewarded with higher bills and years of chaos.
This grifter must not become prime minister.

“Don't swim' at 12 of 14 river bathing sites, as more locations announced.”
Here’s something to wrap your head around.
The only stretch of river graded as ‘Good’ is at Friars Meadow, Sudbury yet from 13th March to the 13th April Anglian Water dumped sewage into Friars Meadow nonstop 24 hours a day for 31 days straight. If you went swimming there during the Easter holidays you were probably swimming in human waste but none of it shows in the data because the EA don’t even bother testing until the middle of May.
PS the EA don’t actually test any bathing site in the country for most of the year 7 and a half months in fact. You go swimming between 1st Oct one year and 15th May the next you’re on your own.

A White House spokesperson says any implication that people linked to the Trump admin have used inside info to make big profits from putting bets on US attacks on Iran, peace deals or falls in the price of oil is ‘baseless and irresponsible reporting’. Phew — that’s a relief.

Today, we gave evidence in Parliament on protest in the UK.
We raised concerns of the raft of anti-protest laws we’ve seen over the last five years, including new legislation passed just last night that restricts repeat demonstrations.

Threatening war crimes and mocking Islam isn't a sign of strength, it's a sign of weakness.
The PM should rule out UK forces and airfields being used for any attacks on Iranian civilian infrastructure.
What more will it take for Starmer to call off the Royal Visit Trump craves?
ALT Screenshot of a post by Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump): “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Starmer’s decision risks repeating the mistakes of Iraq, and follows Donald Trump down a slippery slope.
While Badenoch and Farage cheer this on, it is British households who are paying the price.

Trump is yet again trying to bully Britain into joining his illegal war in Iran.
What more will it take for Starmer to cancel the King's state visit to the US?
We shouldn't reward someone who is pushing up people's energy bills and repeatedly insulting our country.

Given Trump's illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills, Keir Starmer should advise the King to call off April’s state visit to the US.
A state visit should not be given to someone who repeatedly insults and damages our country.
