Why didn't Farage just answer the question about Reform's education policy?

Why did he seek to mock and ridicule the journalist asking a perfectly legitimate question and try to deligitimise the FT?

Easy. That's who he is. An arrogant man who doesn't have any policies beyond pointing at the sea.

As Nigel Farage makes Robert Jenrick his Shadow Chancellor, here's a quick reminder of the sort of man Reform wants to put in charge of the nation's finances

Proud to partner with UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband to sign an MOU deepening climate cooperation between California and the UK.

As communities face extreme weather and rising costs, weโ€™re accelerating innovation and investing in solutions to tackle climate change.

Imagine being so "patriotic" that you protest the Royal National Lifeboat Institute for saving lives.
Racist morons fuelled by hate.

This is the speech many have been waiting for Starmer to make. With Trump in the White House it will be a comfort to Brits and Europeans to hear a UK Prime Minister advocate for less reliance on the United States.

shocked, just shocked, that Nigel Farage, a favourite on Russia Today who has spoken of his admiration for Putin & has repeated Kremlin talking points, who was a close associate of Russian asset & Reform politician Nathan Gill, blames *Ukraine*

Actually Farage my experience as an East Londoner is that I feel colonised by privately educated people from backgrounds like yours. #r4today

Farage appointed a

The answer is the
Tory Press.

Jim Ratcliffe has my full support. Anyone who lies about population figures, claims ยฃ120m in public money for his own company after paying no UK tax at all, while immigrants pay at least ยฃ15bn is my kind of guy!

I get why Matt posts this nonsense every day, outrage pays.
None of this is on the current government.
Open borders? Brexit.
Soft-on-crime chaos? Tories.
Highest taxes since the 1940s? Tories.
Shafted pensioners? Tories.
Farmers driven to despair? Brexit.
Hotels for migrants? Brexit + Tory failure.

dear media, Jim Ratcliffeโ€™s far-right language does not mean itโ€™s a green light for a phone-in asking โ€˜is he right?โ€™ itโ€™s the moment to call out his use of far-right language

The UK has been colonised by immigrants says Sir Jim Ratcliffe

Was he speaking from his tax base in Monaco, his home in Geneva or the land he owns in Iceland?

I presume he doesnโ€™t mean the Romans, Angles, Saxons and the rest eitherโ€ฆ

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

Interesting.

If accurate, could very well lead to follow-up strikes on cartel targets inside Mexico.

Or could be a convenient excuse for strikes on cartel targets inside Mexico.

APPARENTLY it costs the

to remove foreign objects from

removing British objects instead?
Was Brexit all for nothing?

It turns out that the biggest grooming gang in the world is a gang of white, rich, powerful men like Epstein, Trump, Windsor, Mandelson, Clinton, Gates, Musk and Bannon.

The white, rich and powerful men who demand action against grooming gangs are strangely quiet about that.

Since #bbclaurak is trending, letโ€™s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantirโ€™s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit

Both, as I wrote at time, were โ€˜abject failures of journalismโ€™
