History repeating itself?

UKIP under Nigel Farage controlled Thanet Council and nearly bankrupted it.

Reform UK, under Nigel Farage, controls the Worcestershire Council, and it’s on the verge of bankruptcy.

Never trust Reform UK

Not something you will see on the UK media but this resonates with what business leaders are saying.

No wonder they want Starmer out.

Epstein took this photo at a 2015 dinner with Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk and emailed it to himself. Further review shows the same photo displayed on Epstein’s credenza. While much of the image on the credenza had previously been obscured, this email now makes clear what it shows.

Verdict: “absolutely repugnant “

Agreed. And they will do it to the next leader too.
