It might be time to stop treating Farage as if he's some sort of special confidante of Trump. The human skid mark hasn't got a clue what's going on in the White House, as the Chagos situation demonstrated, or what on earth Trump will do next.

Unbelievable!!
Sign the petition: Keep our fields free of bee-killing pesticides!

With Farage back on Question Time last night...

...here is your reminder that Farage was on BBCQT a record-breaking 35 times before he became an MP.

And, further, that the panellist selection on BBCQT has been heavily slanted to right-wing think tanks and commentators over the years.

In just 3 years the Standing Charge in the UK has tripled.

Some people are now paying 50% or more of what they were paying in 2021.

Just to have access to electricity.

It is a ripoff on everyone and it should be illegal.

The UK is spending £369m refurbishing Buckingham Palace for King Charles, who has £22bn and gets £500m more a year.

He can pay for his own renovations, £369m is more than England spends on building Social Housing in an entire year for the whole country.
