Remember when, in the post-Referendum years, Remain had over 50% support in the polls, but the BBC ignored Remainers because the two main parties in Parliament were pro-Brexit. But now the BBC says it has to give massive coverage to Reform UK, because it has 30% in the polls.

If resident doctors have the super power to collapse the NHS singlehandedly then why not pay them properly and provide them with better working conditions? Why not give them an incentive to stay and invest their energy in this country rather than go abroad to chase a better life?

Just an observation… but if Farage *was not* now a racist - genuinely… then he would really want to make up for the hurt he caused as a schoolboy bully. Definitely not make it worse.
Instead, he’s angry and accusing. So, he is racist. And raging with anyone who says so. Or thinks that’s a problem.

Widespread prejudice against wearing masks doesn’t undermine their effectiveness but it does undermine uptake & acceptability & these are important for population health. So it’s important to understand & tackle such prejudice.
