There’s still a final badger cull happening in Cumbria next year. Despite the fact everyone knows badger culling has done nothing to tackle TB in cattle.

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire. Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines. Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

Not trying to burst any bubbles; but Spotify is over. They are airing ICE recruitment ads, the CEO has been investing in military/AI tech, they barely pay their artists; sometimes a percentage of a cent per stream, they promote “fake/AI artist” playlists, and there’s major concerns about data use.

The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

Removing asylum support. Seizing belongings. Deporting entire families, including children. Labour are not just paving the path to a Reform government. Reform may as well already be in power. This government has no moral compass — and it should be ashamed of its inhumanity.

If Starmer had said, on day one, ‘we need to change the way we talk about immigration. Immigration is not in itself a problem - very much the opposite. It doesn’t cause the problems with housing, health, transport or education that years of Tory mismanagement has caused,’ everything changes.
