Farage promises to build more jails
by Our Reform Correspondent
Nick Money
BRITAIN'S next prime minister, Nigel Farage, has vowed to expand the prison service to deal with the increasing lawlessness in Broken Britain.
Farage said it was imperative that we have more prisons to accommodate law-breakers such as Reform MPs.
Said Farage, "No, let me finish! We are looking at hundreds more Reform MPs after the next election, and with our vetting systems we are guaranteed to have a vast number of criminal members of Parliament, who have stolen public money or pushed their girlfriends down the stairs."
When asked how much all this would cost, the Reform leader explained in great detail that he didn't have a clue and couldn't care less.
Farage also promised to send the worst offenders to El Salvador, following a successful pilot programme sending Reform supporters to live in Dubai.
When so much of the media rolls out the comfy red carpet for Farage, Private Eye trips him up and milkshakes him.
Be more Private Eye.

Amnesty International concludes Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza
Amnesty Internationalโs research has found sufficient basis to conclude that Israel has committed and is continuing to commit genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.
Amnesty International, as the worldโs leading independent human rights group, is deeply careful (and often criticised as being slow) when it comes to its research findings. It has now found with painful clarity that Israel is:
1) An apartheid state; and
2) Committing genocide against Palestinians.

Meanwhile, the British government continues to send weapons to Israel as it perpetrates a genocide against Palestinians. It gets more perverse by the day.

New rules may stop Elon Musk from making unlimited donations to Reform UK
Officials are said to be anxious about the rumoured donation of $100m (around ยฃ80m) that Elon Musk has suggested he would make to Reform UK.
Let's hope for something more principled than a "stop Musk" law. It would also be wise to (as Chancellors do) legislate by press release - ie to say what the legislation will prevent and say that it will be backdated to the press release - to guard against forestalling. news.sky.com/story/foreig...

Schools in England to be banned from teaching โabout the concept of gender identityโ
Imposing the detrimental impact of Section 28 on a new generation, the Conservative party have announced plans to ban schools from talking about "gender identity"
2/ Background
It has been published following a consultation that was begun under the last Conservative government, which promised to bring in what many in the community saw as another 'Section 28'.
It goes almost as far as adopting the conservative's line
