Farage earns more than any other MP for NOT being an MP. He says it’s “obviously sad” that part of his constituency is the most deprived area in England.
But everything he’s ever done, said and wanted has made sure of it.
This is the whole country if he gets into power.

The alienation of young people can be blamed on Covid, phones and much else. But those are exacerbations. The real cause is rent exploitation in all its forms. It is neoliberalism that is destroying the lives of young people. And that is why it has to go. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/11...

The BBC has been conducting an unashamed propaganda campaign against the SNP for years. To suggest that they need to survive for the purpose of upholding truth is absurd, and an affront to those of us here, who have been subjected to their relentless propaganda during this time.

In 2014 Nick Robinson of the BBC edited a clip of Alex Salmond, claiming that he "Didn't answer a question." Salmond had actually given a long and detailed answer. They edited the clip to make it appear that he hadn't. Any suggestion that BBC journalists are impartial is ridiculous. 1/

I’m so upset with our govt. A 3 line whip (😮) to stop a brick being put into new buildings. Please don’t let the swifts die
Swifts have declined 70% since 1994.
They fly from Africa to breed here, only to find we've blocked their nest sites.
A £35 swift brick nest box was proposed for all new buildings.
The construction industry lobbied Labour to block it.
Biodiversity sustains life. Labour sustains economic power.
