Some of the people in this article have shared their recollections with me before - but on condition of anonymity. Coming forward now is an act of patriotism. Farage’s claim that it never happened is the opposite.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's big takedown of Trump today is powerful because it broadcasts that he's losing control over the GOP. His sudden call for release of files wasn't about transparency. It was about sustaining the illusion that he controls the party.

One of the most shameful incidents of WW2 was when the government and press scapegoated refugees, then decided to pack them off an a cramped ship, The HMT DUNERA and ship them to Australia.
As they boarded the boat they were stripped of the valuables and robbed by the guards.

They've been warned, they won't listen, they'll be slaughtered by Reform at the next election.
In the meantime their abject cowardice means they have squandered their mandate.
The people who voted for them wanted systemic change - Starmer is too pusillanimous (or bought) to deliver it.

Labour have finally unlocked the "Tommy Robinson approves of our immigration policy" achievement badge.
It has taken 16 months, but their journey to an irredeemably vile party now seems complete.
They are the enemy now. Not the only enemy. But they are as much the enemy as the Tories ever were.

We endured Theresa May and her "Go Home" vans. Then we further endured Priti Patel followed by Suella Braverman and the zenophobic Rwanda debacle.
I never thought we'd have someone as nasty and zenophobic, in the same mould, from the Labour Party.
Truly appalling. 😔

Thinking about my own father, who arrived in 1946 with the Free Polish Army - when would Labour have sent him back to communist Poland? How could he have done anything to build a life and have children in the UK if he had had to beg to stay every two years? Disgusting. www.bbc.com/news/article...

If Labour are just going to ape Reform anyway, why do we even need them? Those who want Reform policies can vote for them, those who don’t have options too. They’re trying to slightly please everyone but are pleasing no one, the Woolworths strategy. And we all know what happened there.
