I see Nigel "always cheated never defeated" Farage is now trying to stop non UK citizens from voting. This would mean my Irish wife would have no right to vote despite giving 20 years of hard work and taxes to the UK state.

And where does it stop - the unemployed/benefit claimants will be next

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.

Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.
