Mahmood parrots much of the far right's lies (& I include the Tories in that group).

International comparisons of which country takes the most refugees & the financial & other support offered should be common currency by now, but it's not because the right don't want the truth to be known.

The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world"

That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

There was no complaint at the time from Donald Trump about the BBC Panorama programme - and he did say the words in the two video clips edited together in his speech just before the Capitol riots.

The BBC shouldn't pay a dime!

Another Reform councillor has quit the party. Isabella Kemp now sits as an independent on Kent County Council.

By my calculation, that’s nine Kent Reform councillors gone since May.
