This is Walter Tull, a 2nd Lieutenant in the Duke of Cambridge's Own. He was killed in action in action 1918.
In the eyes of Reforms Matt Goodwin, Walter Tull would not be British.
Remember Matt has never served his country. Only himself.

Aligning with the Single Market isn't enough - fully joining both the Single Market and Customs Union would reduce duplication, cut costs, and help UK businesses trade more easily and confidently across Europe. The longer we delay taking action, the longer businesses are going to suffer.

Increasing protectionism in the UK has led to a significant decrease in UK-EU trade, with many smaller businesses finding the increased bureaucracy prohibitive, leading to reduced, or ceased, exports to the EU. It's time to rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union, and fix our trade ties.

I used to have a copy of the Wattstax album and this speech was on it.
When I first heard it I felt shivers down my spine. I still do even so long after and numerous listens.
I think as a speaker he was up with MLK.
Rest in peace. A great man.

'A Reform UK councillor (Durham) who became the 6th person to resign from his party at a key local authority has said the party should never have claimed it could slash spending through Doge-style cuts.'

Farage called for it and no-one in ReformUK dare question Farage.
