The Story of the 1947 Partition as Told by the People Who Were There

When, during the local election campaign, did mainstream journalists mention Farage's links with Russia, Trump, and Andrew Tate? The mainstream news media is helping Farage and fascism by turning a blind eye to the damning truth of who and what he is.

Labour must take responsibility for a battering caused by legitimising far right Reform rhetoric and culture war bullshit.
They have the majority to stop it, they need to find their balls, fast. If they carry on they’re not just bending themselves over the barrel, but all of us.

Labour’s plan to fit all new homes with solar panels is a fabulous idea. It will help slash energy bills to the tune of up to £1k a year. This is what the green economy is all about.
