Enough with the outrage theatre.
If Reform stands for ordinary working people, why did all their MPs vote against the Workers’ Rights Bill?

You can’t wedge immigration into that one. It’s just the record.

This was the moment when Trump's political career should have ended. He was never suitable for public office but when he stood up on stage and mocked Serge Kovaleski, that was the moment when he showed the public exactly who he is.

Or he has a list of territories to conquer and both are on it. Assuming he invades Greenland and survives the EU dumping the dollar and taking back the US bases on European territories, how does he intend to keep it?

I knew he was dreadful, I just didn't think he was "let children die in pain" dreadful.

Farage is a grifter, he's not interested in facts and neither are his followers. They have loads of excuses for why Brexit is a disaster, none of which are true.

Jess Phillips: Nigel Farage putting 'clicks for his monetised social media accounts' over children's safety This comes a week after Mr Farage likened the new rules under the Online Safety Act to "state suppression of genuine free speech" and said Reform would ditch the regulations.

Money grabbing Farage puts profit before people.

Those "concerned parents" outside "migrant hotels" remind me a lot of the paedophile mob panic created by the News of the World's "name and shame" campaign in 2000.

Same idiots. Same press. Same mentality.

Yes - the News of the World.

Remember why they shut down?

I really don't know why this hasn't been reversed yet. Especially for water companies.

Before 2015, Tech minister, David Willetts, would attend events like InfoSec and give a high level speech about the UK's place in the world as a centre for tech. Willetts wasn't thick, nor was he a techie. He did a perfectly good job without technical knowledge because he only needed an overview.

I thought it was because REFUK candidates seem to be universally thick.

Don't you just love misleading statistics? The Torygraph announces that 12% of prisoners are foreign born, ignoring the fact that 16% of the UK population is foreign born.

The conclusion here is that foreign born people are less likely to be criminals in jail, the opposite of what they're reporting

Back when I was on Twitter, this guy was a vile, racist bigot who wouldn't shut up and doubled down on his homophobia and racism when challenged.

The consequences of his own actions are not something I will particularly mourn.

Oh no, unions get more powerful and members benefit so more people join. Then unions get more powerful and members benefit.

Where's the downside?

The state provides education for children. No fees are charged beyond the taxes we all pay. Without public schools the state would have no problem picking up the children of the well off.

As they should, as everyone should. If the wealthy had no option but state schools for their children perhaps they'd demand better funding for state schools instead of bypassing them.

Why should VAT not be paid on school fees? Why should there even be public schools when state schools are desperately in need of more funding?

I was supportive of the lifting of a VAT discount on private school fees before but now I know it hurts the rich, I'm even more supportive of it.

I still want to know why Andrew Neil didn't call out any of the lies of the previous Tory administration. Johnson lied and hundreds of thousands of people died. Why wasn't he doing his job as a journalist?
