I'm old enough to remember
when Thatcher promised that her policies
would make everyone a homeowner

Is Farage still the racist bully he was at school?
“there’s a substantive case that Farage did change. He’s seen the strategic necessity of maintaining a clear boundary with the far right”
Cynical political manoeuvring should not shield him.
So yes, he still is.

How Farage fails the racism test
Would a person from an ethnic minority trust Nigel Farage in power? So long as the answer remains “no”, Farage and the Reform party are unfit for office

Anyway from now on we can all legitimately call Reform the "Black Shirts" - given they're flogging them to their actual members.

What an own goal!

The UK government’s budget is simply managing decline.

The budget does little to improve living standards or facilitate sustained economic growth.

Can't grow economy by hiking taxes on low/middle income families.

Whatever happened to taxing the rich?

Premier League Productions journalist there, asking David Moyes about Jordan Henderson instead of Jordan Pickford.

Pure disrespect and really highlights the complete lack of professional and preparation when it comes to clubs they deem unimportant. Or as their boss described, 'small clubs'.
