Antisemitism allegations against the teenage Farage matter – look at what he went on to do | Jonathan Freedland
Farage has cosied up to US figures who espoused conspiracy theories about Jews. That kind of talk is becoming alarmingly mainstream on the Maga right, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

@lewisgoodall.com i suggest a better term than tax burden is tax responsibility. I am a worker, a pensioner and a saver. I support taxation to support the roads, hospitals and schools the country needs. As to welfare, how do you square the circle?

This is nothing short of betrayal. Mexico had invaded the US to stop 'fascism' taken over Texas and New Mexico, would Trump agree to losing those states was a fair deal? Just because Ukraine is smaller than Russia doesn't mean it deserves less respect.

I’ve been saying this for ten years now but possibly not often enough: Ask Them What They Think The Words They’re Using Mean. And then ask them to name the ‘problematic’ people. We had ‘sovereignty’, ‘laws’ & ‘unelected bureaucrats’. The US now has ‘Antifa’, the ‘radical left’ & ‘insurrection’. Ask!
