Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, paid holiday and sick leave.
It would make them tens of billions a year.
But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

Farage wanting to bring back coal mining in Wales shows how little he understands the working class.
It's not mining coal that the area wants. Coal mining is filthy and dangerous. It's the well paid jobs and sense of community that coal mining created.

That means preparing potential tariffs including on Elon Musk's Teslas, and urgently negotiating a better trade deal with the EU.
