Both my mother & father, like many thousands of others, did their bit in WW2. He in the Royal Navy & she assembling aircraft engines at Rolls Royce. They fought fascism.
Proudly wearing a poppy yet support this man? They would be shocked.

Immigration Minister lied about me with a slur.
Wes Streeting then tried a different attack.
And the Evening Standard write yet another attack piece because I dare to say we need to tax the rich.

Nigel Farage went on LBC to accuse the Bank of England of being โdinosaursโ for putting restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether.
He did not declare that Reform had just received ยฃ9 million from one of its biggest investors

My grandfather was an army sergeant. He served in India & Egypt with his young family. Latterly customs officer in Liverpool. His life was structured by service, respect & tolerance. Strict but simple rule of just doing the right thing with manners.
Who are today's role models I wonder?
It's #WorldSoilDay. We published an article several years ago warning that we had fewer than 50 harvests left in our soil. Here's an absolute game-changer project - a real ray of hope in a dark world.

In the 70's I attended a boys grammar school in Cheshire. Banter focused on local girls grammar school, football & music. Father was in Royal Navy & mother was sent to Rolls Royce to assemble aircraft engines. Both would be horrified by Farage & Reform UK Ltd.

Our grandparents had fought WW2 & our headmaster was a Battle of Britain pilot.

Nigel Farage, leader of the party who claim to care deeply about womenโs equality, yesterday described bbc broadcaster Emma Barnett as a โlower gradeโ presenter for asking questions about his alleged historic H*tler fanboying.
