Hmm will Reform be moaning when there are more elections in new unitary authorities next year ? Or are they banking on voter apathy ?

Ultimately, is not any decision on holding referenda a matter for the King as Head of State , and Parliament as a whole ? Not just the Prime Minister?

Reform UKโ€™s Jenrick is busy blaming Nottinghamshire Council for crumbling roads and chaos - conveniently ignoring that Reform UK runs the council. What a jenprick.

Did not one N. Farage actually say on tv well before the vote that a 48/52 split in the 2016 referendum would be โ€œunfinished business โ€œ? He can hardly complain now that it is ๐Ÿ™„

It is. And going back to the days in when I and many others were growing up with ADHD before it was really known about as a condition, and we were labelled โ€œnaughtyโ€ or stupid. But we were not. We just needed support which wasnโ€™t given at the time. Or since tbh.

Dear UK media,
If youโ€™re going to fall for Farageโ€™s every cry for attention, FFS, be ready with the facts that show that, not only is he peddling anti-immigrant sentiment/racism for votes, but heโ€™s lying about the stats too.
Itโ€™s dangerous and dishonest.
Please say so.
Thanks

Iโ€™m guessing heโ€™s too young to remember all the media hatred and fury against unmarried mothers in general and teenagers having kids whilst still at school in particular a couple of decades ago ๐Ÿฅต

Personally I donโ€™t think the present DOE is fit for purpose.
Iโ€™ve no doubt itโ€™s under resourced too like a lot of departments which often donโ€™t attract positive media headlines for funding.

Yes. Donโ€™t forget he was quoting Jewish scriptures about God though since the Christian bible and in particular the New Testament as we know it was still centuries into the future.
The letters of Paul to the Ephesians etc were originally exactly that. Letters to the local church communities ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Only if you believe the death sentence to be a good thing perhaps. Personally I donโ€™t. Whatever the crime committed.

Tbh Iโ€™ve just come back. Iโ€™m wondering if a lot of these reported passport queues are in places with holiday charter flights where naturally youโ€™d get a lot of infrequent travellers from the uk. As opposed to say Eurostar which has a much higher proportion of regulars and EU citizens travelling

In the 2021 census 0.3% of the population of England and Wales do not speak English at all (link below). I cannot find a figure for Scotland, so where is Farage getting his figures from or is he just making them up?

What is happening in Palestine is connected to whatโ€™s happening with the Epstein Files.

Itโ€™s been a long-game strategy to destroy the land and its people for the wealthy.
