The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

But instead of solving the problem, Labour are using Brexit as an excuse to raise your taxes.

So many stories, verified, like this coming out of US about ICE detention right now. Let's just be totally clear, it is not hyperbole to call ICE "Trump's Gestapo", or their detention sites concentration camps. They meet all of the criteria. Anywhere else this would be receiving global condemnation.
A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.
