From the Marks and Spencer Company Archive at the University of Leeds comes a Christmas 1932 magazine advert showcasing ready-to-wear women’s clothes. Until then, shoppers could buy only stockings, handkerchiefs and hats at M&S — this was the first time complete outfits were on offer.

Immigrants are substantially better educated than the general populace. They claim less in benefits & pay more in tax than the average Briton.

There is no pot of money to pay your pension. Pensions are paid by the contribution of people in work today. The ratio of workers to pensioners is dropping due to the ageing population. We need 250000 immigrants per yr (as does Germany) to continue paying at the rate we do now. #immigration

There's no pot of money to pay your pension. It is paid by the contributions of those in work at the time. The proportion of pensioners to workers is increasing so we need 250000 immigrants per year paying taxes and nat insurance to fund pensions.

Hypocrite.
Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on £400,000 GB News earnings.
Poor attendance record in parliament, collects £94,000 salary+expenses.
Has used a trust fund in an offshore tax haven.
Previously described people who try to avoid tax as the “common enemy”.
