What a joke of a headline. The first person Farage would have to root out would be himself. Next would come Arron Banks for his Russian embassy visits and shilling for Putin.

All road deaths are a decision made at all levels of Government, within the courts, and to a large extent within the manufacturing of cars and the marketing of them. It doesn't have to be this way.

Stop pretending these policies are "fair" or "compassionate", half of them aren't even new. Community sponsorship already exists, people can already be denied accommodation if they can support themselves. These policies are just cruelty for political gain, and counterproductive at even that #r4today
These policies, where they aren't just reiterating ones which already exist in a differently worded form, are just plain idiotic.
They show not only a complete disregard for people's lives, or basic humanity, but also reality. 1/
