Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farage’s recent efforts to woo centre-ground voters may cause tension in party’s right flank, says Hope Not Hate

Make no mistake: this is where fascism starts.
It goes from here to banning people from working, and then from marrying "true" citizens.
This is not any kind of over-reaction: we have seen this before and we know where it ends.
Reform must be stopped at all costs.

Hannah Spencer MP says Farage is copying β€˜his hero Trump’ by disputing by-election result This isn’t the first time that Farage has tried to undermine election results

When Reform fail at the polls they go full-Trump and dispute the result.

Notice how they never have a problem with an election if they win? - funny that.

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

We told you we're here to replace Labour.

So the gobshite right-wing so-called #AlphaMales can't even get the basic behaviour of real world wolves right.

Extraordinary that in these fractious & divided times, so many of us can unite around the single, simple fact that Matthew Goodwin is an irredeemable twat.

Anti-fascists frustrate Britain First in Manchester | Searchlight One of several attempts to block off the Britain First march in Manchester A day of resistance, a day of solidarity, a difficult day for the rump of Britain ...

#FightFascism wherever it appears.

Confront racists on the street. Stand up to bigotry at work and school. Do not allow them the freedom to spread their hate.

Businessman slapped with Β£3,000 bill for hanging Union Flags on lampposts Will Haylett, 43, says he was trying to 'lift people's spirits' when he put up dozens of Union and St George's flags on lampposts using his company's cherry picker.

"lift people's spirits" by illegally putting up flags on lampposts?!
Utter bollocks.
The only reason these flags were put up was so racists could "mark their territory" and intimidate anyone non-white.
Good to see these racist fuckwits getting consequences.

Oregon tried giving homeless youth $1,000 a month with no strings attached. Here’s what happened The program helped 94% of participants secure housing while building financial literacy skills that could break the cycle of homelessness.

Given the evidence that #BasicIncome just WORKS and in addition to being deeply humane is the single most cost effective way of addressing poverty, we can only conclude that the continued objection to it from the right is because they believe the poor must suffer.

Ok this is my first Ramadan with Afghan neighbours.
Are we going to get fed every day, dishes delivered to the door by the delightful older children?
Am I supposed to reciprocate their delightful generosity in kind?

So far I've been giving them clothes and books instead of food, which seems ok.

Dungeons & Dragons, long played for fun, is being explored for therapeutic potential Dungeons & Dragons is known as a niche role-playing game. But now game masters are exploring whether it can also be therapeutic, for conditions ranging from anxiety to PTSD.

That feeling we've always had that #DnD and #TTRPG are good for your mental health?

Yeah - turns out there is solid research behind that proving it!
