When Labour in the future say you have to vote for them to stop Reform – remember there are countless reasons that argument is equal parts absurd and offensive.
But 26th August 2025 should stand out for their complete capitulation to the right.
Absolutely shameful.

No10 spokesman not prepared to criticise anything about Farage speech today.
Not his description of "invasion", not his prediction that the UK on brink of civil war, not plans to pay the Taliban or Iran to take back migrants, or indeed to rule out doing so themselves.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

In case you didn’t know, there are two banks of brand new patches of mine up on the UDO site.
“Super 6 ST49 Patches” contains 16 patches created to fully exploit the ST49 polyAT upgrade, but they’ll still work just fine in any Super 6 🙂
