The stupidity of Farage’s latest ‘plan’ is staggering.
Claiming they’d save British taxpayers money by ripping up international commitments and starting a trade war with Europe is the puerile foot-stamp of a party that uses prejudice as policy. Ruinous nonsense.

A Swiss investigation reveals that an official with ties to an Israeli firm invested in the military and intelligence sectors was behind the decision to have journalist Ali Abunimah arrested and expelled – to stop a speaking tour about the Gaza genocide.

Finland's approach to housing the homeless is a comprehensive, well-funded national strategy aimed at ending it by treating a home as a universal human right. They also provide free health support and assistance with addiction etc. There’s virtually no homeless in Finland.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.
