The new evidence is grim: Brexit has made Britain is smaller, poorer and less productive.

The truth: we need migration.
The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.
Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.
Reject it. Draw the line.

As Farage signs football shirts at Reform's party conference (being sold for £100 a piece), party chairman David Bull puts forward 3 motions proposed by party members. The themes - unsurprisingly - are "climate", "immigration" and "women's rights"
