Reform using a fake “Made in Britain” logo for their football shirts
It seems they are made abroad & imported. Only printing is done “in the heart of the midlands” so as 100% of Labor is not done in Britain, it doesn’t qualify for the logo

Was she hoping this admissions officer was no longer around?

TPUK showed a video of an angry "local" challenging antifascists
Lets establish the facts, this is Toni Collins, Toni lives in Islington not Epping. Toni also grew up in Hackney not Epping.
She is not a local, she is in fact a key part of Tommy Robinson's team

For more than a decade Farage has gotten what he said he wanted at the time.
Austerity, a hard brexit.
He is not the solution, he is the arsonist.

Headlines like this is what’s wrong with Media. Based on nonsense, lies & made up information, yet somehow override the real facts given by the likes of official government sources
Time Wallace wrote this particular article. Pathetic.
Daily Mail, Express, Telegraph & many more can go in the bin.

'To fight a Trumpesque future we should abandon the useless straight jacket of ‘Left vs Right’ and replace it with the more powerful, crystal-clear moral axis of right vs wrong.'
It’s not Left vs Right anymore. It’s humanity vs inhumanity.
We need to challenge the right-wing tactic of re-defining moral truths as ‘Leftie ranting'

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster.
We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

Boris Johnson promised farmers that “subsidies would stay - 100% guaranteed”.
🚜 The National Farmers’ Union council was overwhelmingly in support of “Remain”, but decided not to campaign outright, as it would upset some of their larger farmers who were cheering Brexit.

What happened to those post-Brexit farm subsidies?
We need a discussion about UK food and farming, our resilience to external and self-inflicted events, and where the money is going
