In April, U.S.-made bombs destroyed a detention facility that held Ethiopian migrants in Yemen, crushing bodies and shredding limbs. Few answers have emerged, and the U.S. has not claimed responsibility. Amid official silence, the survivors are left wondering why.

British people were 'sold a lie' with Brexit, Emmanuel Macron said today in response to a question from Robert Peston at a joint press conference with Keir Starmer

He said Brexit has made it harder to combat illegal migration across the Channel - HE’S RIGHT 👇
“This is Brexit Britain. We voted to take back control of our borders, not to accept a deal given to us by a French President” says Nigel Farage

Imagine his shock when he finds out Brexit is a primary factor in the sky rocketing number of small boat crossings

Where is the moral panic?

Where are @lisanandy and @Keir_Starmer?

Or are we saying Rod Liddle can use his national platform to call for state violence and it’s fine

But if Bob Vylan chants about actual state violence it’s “incitement”?

At least try to be consistent.

One million blood donors needed to meet demand and avoid 'red alert' shortage, NHS warns
The NHS has warned the UK needs one million regular blood donors to maintain supply and avoid a "red alert" - which means supplies are so low there is a threat to public safety.

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

We’ve reached a point where we have other things we have to focus on,’ says Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State, about the war in Ukraine. Remember — Pres Trump was going to get a ceasefire in his first 24 hours, then by Easter. Now Russia can continue attacking Ukrainian civilians at will.

The challenge for Nigel Farage is to win the election in 4 years time, that's a long time in politics, hopefully British public has more sense than believing in him.

Politics is a serious matter, acting like a clown doesn't give much confidence on the party leader or the party. Stop acting like a 10 year old and get serious. Then people might listen to what they have to say.
