Patriots on the Prowl: the rise in anti-migrant vigilantism – HOPE not hate The far right have long framed hate as β€œprotecting the community”. The spate of anti-migrant protests that commenced this summer is no exception, with organisers...

πŸ’₯NEW: Across the UK, vigilante groups are on the rise, patrolling UK streets in the name of β€œpublic safety”.

In reality, many of these self styled "guardians" are little more than bullies with violent pasts.

Rejoining the EU would give us a Β£15 billion surplus

Why doesn't Labour want what's best for the UK?

Reeves considers cut to green levies in effort to reduce cost of energy bills Exclusive: Chancellor hopes to save up to Β£170 from average bill but industry insiders say move would be β€˜disastrous’

Can’t quite believe the Chancellor is seriously considering slashing support for home energy efficiency as a way to cut fuel bills πŸ‘€. Locking people into cold & leaky homes which will cost them more to heat & decimating the insulation industry at same time. Total madness πŸ‘‡

The situation in Sudan is horrific; war monitors have compared the level of violence in El Fasher to that of the start of the Rwandan genocide.

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage gets an easy ride from the media. They give him as much airtime as he wants but never hold him to account for the damage he’s done.

So much of what’s broken in Britain is thanks to Nigel Farage.

Another 55mins of Farage carried live by BBC and Sky, in which he rambled for twice as long as briefed, and yet managed to say little of substance.

Why can broadcasters not simply give us 3mins of the low-lights after the event, as they would do with most other politicians? ~AA

Nigel Farage says he wants to 'raise aspiration' by cutting the minimum wage for young people (currently Β£10), but reducing tax for young people earning over Β£100k. Presumably he wants them to just ask their stockbroker fathers to fix them up with a job in The City, like he did.
