It is indisputable that Brexit has been an economic disaster, and notable that none of its political architects have paid any price.
Brexit has caused almost twice as much damage to the UK economy than estimated by official forecasts, according to new paper from a group of experts including a senior Bank of England economist

Hopefully, one day, in the not too distant future, even the mouth-breathing Brexiters will understand that Farage & his Reform IS JUST ANOTHER FUCKING GRIFT you stupid marks. Thanks, once again, to Private Eye magazine for shining a light on this absolute charlatan.

Quite staggering really. However, it begs the question how can Streeting carry on when Starmer has acted so weakly. He should call Starmer’s bluff.

Aside from Russian media boosting Farage’s every speech in the European Parliament, he made 17 appearances on state broadcaster, Russia Today. In one appearance he claimed Europe is governed not by elected democracies but instead "by the worst people we have seen in Europe since 1945".
Nigel Farage now says that any suggestion he's been soft on Putin is "just nonsense".
Here's a quick reminder of what he's said in the past

Trafficked into modern slavery from Albania by a criminal gang, she has made a life in Liverpool and now she faces deportation back into the hands of the people who trafficked her.
Ari is a lovely, thoughtful and compassionate woman, who I know personally.
