Funny that this is a BBC article when they are propping at climate-denying Farage at the same time!
Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of heavy rainfalls, with the greatest impacts falling on the most fragile communities.

Utterly stomach-churning submission to a self-interested group who wouldn't support this government if their lives depended on it. Starmer's weak, insipid, morally bankrupt leadership is what happens when...you elect an Arsenal supporter. Sorry, had to be said.

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether.

He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors

Very risky strategy. Nobody sees Starmer as a bulwark against fascism.
“If there is a Conservative government, I can sleep at night.” A right-wing populist Reform UK government, however, “is a different proposition”.

Farage's tax and spend promises make Liz Truss - you know, the PM who crashed the economy - look like an economic genius.
Nigel Farage has been making some big populist promises.

But behind the soundbites lies not only a financial black hole, but tells us a lot about the future he sees for Britain:

The #BBC has been infiltrated by the right wing since #Cameron . Strange how Starmer does NOTHING re top management change. It’s almost as if he agrees with their policy. Let’s put the #bbc out for subscription and see how many sign up.

A useful reminder that the 'great moving right show', which dominates Labour thinking, is fundamentally flawed, unless you understand that abandoning the working class, destroying the left and representing the interests of finance capital is all that matters.

Always remember why billionaires fund facists like Farage - they want them to use violence to protect their wealth.
The facist just want powers at any cost and will say anything that persuades fools to give it him.
