Brexit detonated our economy and our politics. Since then, our country seems to have lost its mind, veering off to the right, reawakening the racism genie, ruining itself to try to hide the dishonesty and snowballing damage of it all.

Brett Meiselas: If the Epstein files had all this evidence that showed Trump actually was not involved and it actually incriminated all these Democrats, Trump would be the first to release them.
But there is a reason that they are keeping all of this information hidden from the American public.

Farage earns more than any other MP for NOT being an MP. He says it’s “obviously sad” that part of his constituency is the most deprived area in England.
But everything he’s ever done, said and wanted has made sure of it.
This is the whole country if he gets into power.

Thanks the fuck we have one politician with a backbone.
There's lots you can and should criticise the BBC for.
But it's our BBC - and it's important.
Great to speak to CNN - Donald Trump shouldn't have his hands anywhere near our public services.
