Still can't quite believe that "I only said 'gas the Jews' in a non-hurtful way" was the strategy Nigel Farage opted to go for

A bluff?
The paper has done so

Will the MSM now stop platforming and promoting this racist Neo Nazi, and start looking at the Russian connection?

This interpretation of ‘balance’ would involve the broadcast of a program in which Harris blatantly & repeatedly lied about winning a Presidential election she had lost & then encouraged her supporters to ‘fight like hell’ against the upholders of the actual result.

All’s generally really good, although we’ve had a pretty horrible week- we lost our beloved 4 year old Labrador to a freak accident last Wednesday. Our girls have really struggled, but we’ll get through it.
Oh Rae - hope you get to bask in the many, many happy memories there too. There’ll be a whole lotta love in the house. Hope you’re doing ok.

Last revamped in 2018 with £1.8 million of EU development money and another £1 million in business development cash.
Original development also received significant EU funding.
Farage, by contrast, will give Llandudno nothing but hot air and lies.
In the unlikely event that Farage arrived by train he will have gone to Llandudno station - renovated courtesy of the £21.5 million contributed by the EU to the Wales Station Improvement Programme started in 2005.
If he drove then he'd have gone on the coastal stretch of the A55 ...guess what folks
I implore someone, anyone, in the media…
Do your job
And the next time you have Farage on, please ask him directly:
…what were the motivations behind this?
No need to read the article.
No. They don’t stack up, written in Crayola on the back of a copy of Mein Kampf as they are.
Between 2011/12 and 2023/24, child poverty rose by 900,000 in total. This is entirely due to increases in poverty in families with three or more children, with a small fall in poverty for smaller families over the period.
A child poverty strategy with the 2-child limit in place would *not* be a credible child poverty strategy. *All* of the growth in child poverty since the 2011/12 low point is for children in scope of this policy.
