It shouldn’t be missed how many examples of Farage’s racist bullying are from when he was 17-18 & the kids were 9-10. He’s always been a coward
"'Where are you from?’ he asked. Within seconds of offering my rather confused and sputtering answers, he had a clear response: ‘That’s the way back to Africa,’ with an accompanying hand gesture pointing towards a place far away."

This is just next level insanity.
In January this year, Reform picked Sharon Carby, aged 70, from Bradford, to run as their Croydon Mayoral candidate.
There was just one rather significant problem.
She had sadly died in July 2024.

Yesterday David Lammy was unequivocal that Israel is breaking international law. Today No 10 contradicts that and says it is merely “at risk of breaching” the law. It is an extraordinary position to put the Foreign Secretary in - who will now have to say why he was wrong, or why No 10 is wrong.
