Man with stubble, "Small boats arrivals are 37,000. There are over 4 million kids in child poverty. And 4.5 million who can't get a dentist appointment" #BBCQT

"We spend 90% of the media discourse on the 37,000. How much more could we achieve if we put that effort into the 4.5 million?"

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Neoliberals have hollowed out the UK economy.

Insecurity follows. UK imports

Thames Water customers face £263 bill rise, it is downing in £18bn debt.

After extracting billions in dividends shareholders won't invest. Thames wants to raise capital from customers, but shareholders will own company and extract even more cash.
