Here is Farage with the denial he made back in 2013 to Michael Crick on Channel4. As @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk observes Farage ludicrously claims that these allegations have only surfaced now because he’s doing so well in the polls. He’s taking us all for mugs. youtu.be/LM3ggDc34c4?...

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Here are some facts about the asylum plans that I've found in various sources (mainly the Guardian).
Rather than being negative about it all, identify the parts you don't like & discuss alternatives.
There are many things people have said they want to see & others which are being misreported.

The word “illegal” in the context, of course, has no meaning. There is no law against crossing the channel.
Those arriving by such irregular means are ~40,000 a year out of ~1 million in total.

Former Tory MP Adam Holloway has defected to Reform. As someone who 'mistakenly' overclaimed £1,000 on expenses, defended an MP who sexually assaulted a 15 year old and tried to influence a judge over another MP charged with sexual assault, he should fit in perfectly.
