The dead hand of Farage is all over Brexit and it’s made us all poorer. The idea that he should now be cast as the saviour of an economy he damaged is ridiculous and only fools would let him have a second chance to finish the job.

This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country

A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings
