He may not be the most experienced party leader in the (dis)UK. He may not have all the answers. But, here in England, if the choice was him, Farage, Badenoch or even Labour in its current incarnation, I know where my vote would go. So far, he speaks truth!!

If you don’t want politicians re-writing history for political gain please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call out this absolute rubbish with the actual facts. If UK news shows are not up to the job let’s do it ourselves
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it.
We cannot allow him & others to rewrite history.

Glad to hear Mayor Zohran Mamdani is considering a baby box scheme in New York.
The Scottish Government has sent over a Baby Box to share our experience and hopefully offer some inspiration.
Since we launched it in 2017, I’m proud it’s giving every child the best start in life. 🏴
