I loathe Farage, but this feels like a weak and desperate line of attack. Many people would look back on their teenage years with embarrassment (god knows, I do).
It's more the fact that he probably still believes this shit that's the problem.

I've always argued that Johnson was responsible for tens of thousands of deaths through his incompetent and chaotic handling of COVID. He was also responsible for selling the country down the river via Brexit, and destroying the Tory party.

What really pisses me off about the mainstream 'left of centre' parties in the UK and US is how fundamentally faulty their analysis of the current political system is. They ignore the causes of our current problems and focus on responding to the most extreme symptoms.

I think Democrats are calling this wrong, as usual. ICE are the equivalent of Hitler's SA - his brown shirts or stormtroopers. They're a paramilitary force that's practising on immigrants before they're applied to anyone who opposes Trump/Project 2025.

What's a book that you re-read every few years? Aside from Vonnegut and 1984, this is one for me. One of the best 'first contact' books I've ever read. It's always stayed with me. Surprised a film has never been made out of it.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.
