Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in.

21/ And this is exactly how Trump gets away with all he does. Because major media makes the same errors on *every* issue in which it’s covering Trump. It *always* refuses to contextualize new reporting with what’s already known, making the evidence against Trump on *every* issue seem falsely slight.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

So, Farage, in the same breath, has stated that:
Minimum wage should be cut for young people (currently at £10 an hour - oh the largesse!)
And
Young people earning over £100k a year should get tax cuts.

If only the Labour Party had a better communications team/process, they might be riding higher in the polls. I can’t imagine there would be many people who are not in favour of these achievements.
