My wealth has increased by 25% since June. I have done absolutely nothing to earn this. I just put it in a tracker fund. I will be taxed on that gain at a lower rate than during the Thatcher government.
I’d pay more tax to make this country better and stop Putin in his tracks.

“His main theme was that the country was fucked. Largely because of Brexit. Weirdly, he has no memory of being the main architect behind the Brexit vote. He seems to think it happened in a world in which he played no part.”

Farage says leaving the ECHR is the “unfinished business" of Brexit and that the UK is "not sovereign” while we are in it.

But Farage lies. And Brexit is a shitshow. So, “finishing” it should fill us all with dread.

Sovereignty without rights is dictatorship.

Just hoping that one day soon, people will tire of targeting and terrifying asylum seekers and instead, they will turn on politicians who whip up hatred and division to grab at power for themselves…
They are the ones who are failing us.
Not these people.
Prejudice can never make anyone’s life better
Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

34 Deform UK Ltd councillors have now quit, been sacked or stripped of the whip since May's local elections.

The “party of the people” can’t even manage itself, collapsing under its own contradictions.

By this trend, if they were ever to win a GE, any majority would evaporate within weeks.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

“Farage “broke Britain" with Brexit and is now, outrageously, capitalising on the vast damage he caused”

Article argues there’s no need to mention Reform’s racism as the Brexit shitshow is failure enough.
But that had its roots in racism too. So let’s do both.

Glad that, despite the Times’ relentless efforts to flatter Farage’s ego, (rather than ever hold him to account), its readers are far less convinced by his grifting demand for peerages and his sense of entitlement to power without responsibility.

Capitalism is a disease, a cancer, which must be controlled and allowed to control nothing.

Instead it has raged out of control for 50+ years and everything you see around you in every country from Donald Trump to Gaza to the poverty in your own country is the result.
