THE HOUSE OF FARAGE
Is Nigel Farage telling the truth about the house in Clacton his girlfriend bought?
There’s a way for him to prove he isn’t lying.

What offends me about this is just that it's so fucking stupid. Every time some group brutalizes another, the brutalizers conclude the people they're brutalizing are inhuman savages. It's happened 100,000 times before in history. Congrats to Brianna on being 100,001st, what an achievement.

Someone should remind Maguire (and other commentators) that people voted Labour because they wanted a ‘soft left’ government and gave Starmer a huge majority.

Hey, Sunday Times, rich people don’t ’give’ tax, like a gift to the poor. That’s not how it works.

If antisemitism in Britain is so bad, why are two Israelis coming to live here for every British Jew who emigrates to Israel?

Minneapolis is a mini-Gaza.
ICE = IDF.
Fascists running riot.
