Why do British Governments not simply abolish the feudal freehold system that exists in England? Most countries survive happily without the need for it - including Scotland.

By mimicking Reform to win back support, the Labour government is making a serious mistake. This race to the bottom emboldens Farage, punishes vulnerable people, amplifies racism, and undermines those working to hold communities together.

In October alone, the United Nations documented more than 260 settler attacks resulting in Palestinian casualties or damage to property in the West Bank. That’s the highest monthly toll since the U.N. began monitoring settler violence in 2006.

On Nigel Farage's racism, of course it is possible that someone can believe one thing when they're a teenager and something completely different when they're an adult.
But where is the evidence that has happened in this case?
Instead all of the evidence points in the complete opposite direction
