Thing is, if you’re a lawyer and a Tory - maybe you’re even a Tory peer - and you fail to speak out very clearly and publicly against this stuff, you’re signalling for all to see that you’re at best comfortable with fascism and the destruction of the rule of law
We've already seen judges and lawyers being targeted as "enemies of the people". This increases risk of threats/attacks, while undermining judiciary as a whole. Couple it with Tory plans to scrap immigration tribunals and legal aid for people seeking asylum and it shows utter contempt for the law.

It's this simple: Unless we find a way to make the super rich pay their fair share, the exponential growth of their incomes at our expense will ultimately destroy our society and return us to a kind of feudal system where we're totally reliant upon their good grace. So don't let them distract you!

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.
Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

People drifting to Reform out of frustration with Labour need to know:
Starmer’s strategist, Morgan McSweeney, is protégé of Lord Maurice Glasman — who publicly praised Steve Bannon, appeared on his podcast (via Farage), and cheered Trump’s victory.
This is Blue Labour. And it’s already in power.

This kind of article in this kind of paper is *exactly* why our politics is such a mess of distrust and sloganeering idiocy.
These aren’t serious people. This is not serious journalism.
They are piss-taking menaces who want power without scrutiny and who will slide our country into the bin.
