It's not "just weather". It's verified scientific evidence, confirmed by 95 - 97 % of all climate experts and scientists worldwide. And it's bloody terrifying, especially for future generations.

Politicians endlessly blame immigration for their own failures. So, when immigration is reduced, their ‘success’ isn’t recognised. No one’s life has particularly improved. Because no one’s life was ever going to improve by reducing immigration. Because our problems were never caused by immigration.

A little perspective. Currently Reform have majority, or minority, control of 28 councils out of 373. 2,339 councillors nationally out of a total of 18,774. Oh, and 8 MPs out of 650. Oh, and possibly three years til a GE.

Before Nigel Farage and Reform UK tell you he is now Prime Minister, note there are 650 MPs in Parliament and 20,000 councillors in the UK. Today’s results will likely end with Reform UK having 2500-3000/20,000 councillors and still just 8/650 MPs.

“But the fact remains, Farage is a master when it comes to sidestepping criticism. Until the British media up their game, he will continue to ‘get away with it’. This is a disaster for our democracy.” Why would the British media up their game? Much of it supports and promotes Farage.
