We do what we do on a shoestring - and it's enough to stake a flag in the ground alongside the billionaire-owned press.

But we're also growing this new model with your help. Everything that you chip in now is part of that development.

Thank you. 🙏

"Leaving the ECHR would deny British people hard won rights, free speech, the Hillsborough inquiry and protections for older people."

The ECHR is fundamental for all of our rights. Asylum seekers have a right to be treated in a dignified and humane manner.

Seventy-five years ago, Britain helped write the European Convention on Human Rights. It protects fairness, liberty and the rule of law. Those attacking it now are not defending Britain. They are trying to free government from accountability. We must defend it.

Yes, who would have thought. If you adopt a bash-liberals strategy, liberal voters will vote for someone else. And despite what they think in No.10, liberal voters do actually exist.
These are the voters that Labour strategists have made very clear over a long period of time that they don't want any more, and it's a message that has now been heard
I've been out canvassing quite a lot in London lately. Labour's vote has absolutely evaporated.... it is quite extraordinary to go to places where Labour were on 50-60% of the vote at the last locals and find nobody, or virtually nobody, supporting them.

The phrase 'I voted Labour last time, but...

Every time I hear a politician say that an issue is “dividing” this country they always then come down on the side of the right wing view of it. Just once I’d love to hear someone say “this issue is divisive, which is why I’m making the argument that kindness and compassion is important”

And since Brexit, it has been actively undermining its economic model, which is founded on openness to trade, ideas and people. Our top industries have all struggled since the shocks of 2008 and 2016.

TWO QUESTIONS FOR AMERICA

1. Do you agree that a child rapist can’t be POTUS?

2. If so, why do you not support an immediate DOJ and FBI investigation to determine if Donald Trump committed the same crime that two of his closest friends for 17 years committed thousands of times?

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.

A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.
