Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone โ€” period.

I endured an English public school. But thatโ€™s not the only reason Iโ€™m unsurprised about the Farage allegations | Musa Okwonga Letโ€™s put aside the schooldays accusations and look, instead, at the Reform leaderโ€™s path since then. I think a pretty clear picture of the man emerges, says author and podcaster Musa Okwonga

The โ€˜where are they now?โ€™ chaser to Farageโ€™s schoolboy racism..
โ€œHe inspired the country on a tide of xenophobia to leave the EU, a decision that most of the country regrets or outright hates, and.. went abroad to get a standing ovation from the German far rightโ€

Rose Dochertyโ€™s latest stunt arrest is a timely reminder that exactly 1 year ago, these men were outside the Glasgow Sandyford Centre, a clinic that offers services to rape survivors, calling women murderers. This was just before there buffer zones came into force. This was the abuse women endured.

Reformโ€™s โ€˜Trumpianโ€™ legal threats hint at more aggressive approach to media Ultimatums sent to publications appear to intensify as Nigel Farageโ€™s party rises in polls

If you receive legal threats from Nigel Farage for your reporting of Reform, please get in touch.

We have employed a defamation lawyer specifically for this purpose and would love to help (and we do so on non-commercial terms). www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Oh my goodness. This sounds like the Green Pastures cult in Co Antrim. They home in on vulnerable people, find out what they're afraid of, what they're interested in, then they shape shift to answer those needs. Encountered them a few times at a friend's house. Rude, entitled power hungry people.

A Battle with My Blood When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldnโ€™t be happening to me, to my family.

"I watched from my hospital bed as Bobby, in the face of logic and common sense, was confirmed for the position, despite never having worked in medicine, public health, or the government."

50 families in the UK own more than 35,000,000 people.

But immigrants must be the problem.

Get rid of immigrants... nothing.

Get rid of the 50 richest families... double the wealth of half of the UK.
