I've been seeing horrifying bigoted messaging from US government departments but I had hoped I would not see an echo of outright anti-immigrant messaging from a government (not a politician) account under a "progressive" Labour government.

A prime example of how the far right can never be appeased. Give them whatever they demand and they’ll bank it, then use it as a new base camp to strike out for more and worse.

How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?

Farage rarely turned up to vote when he was an MEP. But, he did turn up to vote against the EU’s anti-Russia interference motion. He said it was a “hoax”. He voted against strengthening Europe’s defences against foreign interference. Why?

Is Farage still facing scrutiny over his partner’s £885k Frinton home. Is it aggressive tax avoidance? Has he misled voters? Where’s the transparency? What’s happening? Just asking questions.

I see all the headlines today refer to ‘Benefit Street’ What they don’t tell you is 60% of those on benefits are in work. No outcry on those employers not paying enough or concocting hours to enable people to claim UC. First it was immigrants. Now it’s those on benefits.
