● Typical cost of a Business Class flight to Maldives is £3,100 - £3,200+ return

● 2 of those minimum so £6,400+

● Accommodation minimum of £250-£350 per night. Farage demands finer things in life though so can exceed £1,000

● Gross household average salary Gorton & Denton £653 per week

Farage accused of 'cheap stunt' after being 'denied entry' to Chagos Islands The Foreign Office website makes clear the restricted access of the British Indian Ocean Territory and clearly states 'you need a permit before you travel'

But it's not "a cheap stunt."

Farage won't have flown economy, or alone and if there was "an aid boat" that will have cost money too.

It's expensive flying to the Maldives.

Where did he stay?
How long is he staying?

How much did it cost?
Who picked up the tab?

Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there. It's on the way!!! President DJT

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good.

Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies.

So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.

I have been denied entry to the SIS Building, Porton Down & GCHQ by the UK government.

The UK was declared measles free in 2017.

Vaccine programs completely eliminated it.

Since then, pro sickness conspiracy theorists and anti science idiots have enabled its return.

When he was a Tory politician (you remember, just after he was binned as a Labour one) female colleagues were free to express their disgust at his blatant misogyny. “Lee is an odious sexist,” was Anna Soubry’s irrefutable conclusion. I wonder what his current colleagues will have to say…

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024

UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.

HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The minds that cheered at a lynching still exists .
The minds that stripped and murdered the inmates at Auschwitz still exist. The minds that beat gay men to death and hanged women as witches still exist.
We hoped we’d moved on, changed , but it is increasingly clear this was a liberal delusion.

Its about time we had Leverson2. It's time these press billionaires were held accountable for their crimes.

Prince Harry Takes a Stand for Us All: ‘If They’re Supposedly Policing Society, Who On Earth is Policing Them?’ The crisis and corruption in the British press is one of the biggest, ongoing scandals of our time. Byline Times tips its hat to Prince Harry

"Too much of established British journalism remains an elite, closed club. Close to power & influencing it; while claiming to have none when it is scrutinised in the slightest. That it continues to get away with its ability to distort our society is one of the biggest stories & scandals of our time"

YouTube video by Democracy for Sale Who Really Funds the Free Speech Union?

And while we’re recommending YouTube films, here’s the inimitable @petergeoghegan.bsky.social doing the Lord’s work. Because nothing says ‘free speech champions’ like, erm, going to Court to keep who funds your payroll secret.

All of these people - Mogg, Farage, Carswell, Jenrick, Hannan and the rest need to be forever reminded of what they backed and supported

"Under the weather" is a funny way to spell "chicken"

Green Party calls for free bus travel in England for under-22s Green Party leader Zack Polanski said young people had been shut out of work and training because of the cost of living, promising that Green councillors would push for the change if elected in May.

Free bus travel for under 22s is just one step to help support those areas devastated by years of austerity.

KMPG analysis shows that for every £1 invested in bus services, we get an economic benefit ranging from £4.55 to £5.

All Reform councils to raise taxes despite campaign pledges

Reform told you reducing council tax was easy. They just had to slash Woke policies, and a billion or two would be saved. They wouldn't even need to close care services.

They promise you that.

And then every single Reform-led council cut care services and increased council tax.

And I’m gonna "like" this post every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I cannot stress enough that if X gets banned in the UK, it is not an assault on Freedom of Speech - it is the consequence of a platform that has allowed the mass creation of non-consensual sexual imagery of women and children which, in the UK is illegal.

It's not voters fault.

It's the fault of a media which deliberately spreads misinformation.

The threat to shut X in the UK is a threat to the whole far right ecosystem.

They're going to throw everything at stopping it because they know it would cause them almost irreparable damage.

That's not the case for more moderate voices on left and right who have choices..

Every word of this 👇

Make this go viral.

Jeffrey Epstein & David Walliams leading all the bulletins but Kemi Badenoch knows that only men from ‘different cultures’ pose a threat to women.

Bedford word wizard could be first deaf Countdown Octochamp - Bedford Independent Bedford's Ciaran McCarthy won eight straight heat games, meaning he will forever be heralded as a Countdown 'Octochamp'...

32-year old, Ciaran McCarthy played in his second language, and was described by Sir Stephen Fry as "perhaps the most delightful of all Countdown contestants"...

If 26 people remember your appalling racist behaviour as a schoolboy and are willing to call you out for it 50 years later you cannot simply brush it off and say it doesn't matter.

"The child is the father of the man," as William Wordsworth once put it. And this father was a nasty bullying bigot.

As Tice recently said he has an issue with Children wearing ear defenders. He has shown that he doesn't care about SEND Children.
