“1 million people living in this country don’t speak any English at all. 4 million people living in this country barely speak passable English”
It’s racked up 2 million views
AND IT’S COMPLETELY UNTRUE

"Threatening to put universities out of business – with all that would mean for students halfway through their degrees, or towns reliant on a major employer – if they don’t fawningly accommodate any regime-backed political nonentity who asks is the stuff of autocracy, not democracy."

Ironic that a man barely ever in his workplace should make such a call.

Family history research isn’t always about the past.
Sometimes it brings you face to face with loss that happened while you were still alive — and didn’t know.

What I find amusing about the Express' cinematic universe is that the UK is simultaneously free and thriving thanks to Brexit and poor and oppressed thanks to the current government. This dichotomy is also reflected in Mail/Telegraph etc but its at its most acute in the Express.

You couldn’t make this stuff up. Robert Jenrick and Suella Braverman accidentally voted with Labour to abolish the two-child benefit cap tonight after entering the wrong lobby!

Our broken political system is why we have Trump.
Garcia: I want to remind the American public of Stephen Miller. There's probably no single person in this government that has done more damage and more harm to people across this country than this man right here. It's our job to hold him responsible

We have one more week to force Congress to clean up DHS. And the fight to impeach Kristi Noem is far from over.
So let’s push harder than ever!
Nigel Farage is going to "save pubs" by cutting 5p off the price of a pint of beer...
The £3 billion cost will be funded by reinstating the two-child benefit limit.
This might be the worst policy anyone has ever come up with.

"It can’t feel good for the residents of Gorton & Denton to know the Reform candidate is supported by those who would deport them or their neighbours. Honestly, though, ‘deport’ isn’t the right word here; we’re talking about ethnic cleansing."

Nigel Farage claims that he's fighting the Greens.
But for weeks now he's refused to debate me.
Reform know Gorton & Denton are ready to vote for the Green Party.
Robinson on X VOte for Matt
Far right extremist Tommy Robinson endorses Matt Goodwin.
A vote for Reform is a vote for division, hate, and all that goes with it.
A Green victory in the Gorton and Denton by-election would feel like divine justice.

Given his appalling remarks about Sunak its absolutely shocking that Konstantin Kisin is anywhere near the mainstream let alone on #bbcqt

It's Greens Vs Reform

We must make sure hope wins.

Today's reminder: Nigel Farage is a traitor to our nation. He has accepted money from foreign governments and organisations that are enemies of our government and must face justice.
