Can broadcasters stop platforming Farage. Again, LBC’s Nick Ferrari interviews Farage so Farage can claim Trump is hurt by the small edit on Trump’s speech inciting the insurrection. Farage’s relationships with Trump and wealthy donors should be a concern for us all.

Companies House, as I am on the Housing Association as a director, means I use .gov log-in, I have to go through picture ID matching to the scan of my passport, use my phone to scan Passport chip to double-check my biometrics. If he is a director of a limited company, he would also have to do this.

Racist Robert Jenrick and Uncle Trevor Phillips are blaming the Manchester Synagogue attack on a "failure of integration".
Did they say that about the thousand of white terrorists who ran through the streets last summer, or in Ballymena this year?

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

It’s a farce most Conservatives are also ultra religious and talk about “family values” instead of actually helping families. UBI is not even a handout, it’s a dividend we should all be paid for contributing to the success of our society
