Good question 🎯
"Mr. Farage, you say you're a new reforming force in politics. How can you claim that if - by your own definition - you're bringing in so many people that cause the mess you're trying to clear up?"
Vote for Reform UK and get the very worst of the Tories...

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and Trump's personal Gestapo is randomly executing American citizens. But at least now there won't be any non-binary characters on the new Paw Patrol spin-off.

Greggs puts up price of sausage roll by 5p to £1.35 amid rising costs
Bakery chain also adds 10p to a latte, bringing it to £2.25, as CEO warns of ‘a tough, challenging market’
Greggs has added 5p to the price of a sausage roll and 10p to a latte coffee as it leans on some of its bestsellers to soak up rising wage, energy and packaging costs.
The UK’s largest bakery chain said it had no plans for further price increases at present and it expected inflation to ease this year as it admitted it had sold fewer items in the run-up to Christmas amid a “very tough, challenging market”. Continue reading...

Honestly, I did NOT have "punching the air and going HELL YES to Chris Patten" on my bingo card today. But what he says is SO rarely said and needed saying SO badly!
"How shall we treat Mr Farage's concerns? Shall we hail Brexit a tremendous success? Something that has cost the country billions?"
"How shall we treat Mr Farage's concerns? Shall we hail Brexit a tremendous success? Something that has cost the country billions?"
SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.
"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

I’ve said it before, any judge who so comfortably and clearly shows their prejudice should immediately be barred from their jobs, but we don’t live in a world that makes sense.
We live in a world where white people get to deem racism as a simple inconvenience and be the sole arbiter of its weight.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?
Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.
It undermines police and the law.

How BBC presents the anti-migrant hotel protests vs how we do at @bylinesnetwork.co.uk
BBC lead with a Reform UK voter saying "We are not happy with these men in this hotel because we fear for our children”
We tell of the refugee children inside the hotel terrified by chants of “send them out!”
