As a working class northerner, I just don't get why greasy grifters like Farage appeal to other working class northerners. Does someone selling magic beans to you, really convince you they are genuine?

It is welcome news that the UK is suspending some arms exports to Israel.
But this does not go far enough. Only a full ban can ensure these weapons are not used to violate international law.
