We all know why Farage is making these wildly misleading and completely inaccurate claims - I know it and in your hearts you know it too - so however you decide to vote in this by- election please don't be taken in by the politics of division offered by Reform

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

Israel is still committing genocide and apartheid in Palestine and Britain continues to arm them. Join us to stand with the Palestinian people and demand our government end all complicity in Israel’s violence.

Animal welfare charity hits out as Unilever drops cage-free commitment Unilever is facing criticism after abandoning two major global animal welfare pledges, including its commitment to source only cage-free eggs worldwide.

We're deeply disappointed that Unilever has abanonded it's commitment to source only cage-free eggs worldwide.

The decision risks leaving hens confined in cages and unable to express natural behaviours. We're calling on Unilever to reinstate its commitment to #EndTheCageAge.

Ratcliffe says immigrants cost too much, while Ineos lobbies for state funding Billionaire’s business has in recent years claimed UK and EU support for refineries and chemicals plants worth about €800m

The Guardian's Jillian Ambrose unpicks the many tens of millions in state support that Jim Ratcliffe's businesses have accepted, after the billionaire railed against people on benefits (and claimed Britain was being "colonised" by immigrants while himself having moved to tax-free Monaco).

Coincidence? Gallup Ends Presidential Approval Poll After 88 Years Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s approval rating is tanking.

Trump has some of the lowest approval ratings for a president in decades.

Why would Gallup suddenly stop tracking presidential approval rates? πŸ€”

A particularly unpleasant reminder that rich white men, like Farage, Bannon and Musk have dubious, unsavoury links to the paedophiles in Epstein files.
And of course Trump's corrupt associates are busy hiding and reacting names and emails from the guilty parties.
Time to wake up UK.

This matters for everyone.

For years, the right to protest has been under sustained and deliberate attack.

Thousands of people have been arrested for something that should have never been a crime.
