When I hear Farage talking about rounding up and deporting hundreds of thousands of human beings, and threatening those with leave to remain or settled status, I cannot help but think of the schoolboy sidling up to me and telling me that “Hitler was right”

Now that my former classmate has finally spoken about the allegations of his behaviour at school, I feel compelled to address his points directly, says Peter Ettedgui, a film director and producer

Spring is here. I’d forgotten over winter the therapeutic effects of pottering in the garden. When the wider wold seems overwhelming it can be beneficial to scale down and find joy, beauty and hope in the little things. Like a fresh new ladybird on an old leaf.

Your reminder that a 2% wealth tax on those with £10 million, affecting 0.04% of the UK population, would raise £24 billion a year
You have to wonder why Labour chose not to do this..
