Net migration rises: The government has lost control of the borders

This is the guy who was convicted of assault - kicking his ex girlfriend outside a pub - before he was selected as a Reform candidate. If Reform had a few hundred MPs, how many people of this calibre would be in Parliament? M
Actually jaw dropping from James McMurdock MP, even by his standards. We cannot become numb to this.
The far right are in Parliament, and they're trying to normalise outright, vicious racism (same goes for the likes of Rupert Lowe too)

If you want to understand how fascism absolutely has an English pedigree and could certainly take hold in England, I recommend reading Martin Pugh’s ‘Hurrah for the Blackshirts!’ (2006) (the title deriving from the Daily Mail’s enthusiastic endorsement of Oswald Mosley in the 1930s)

Who owns the River Dart? 108 separate landowners, it turns out - with 11 miles of it owned by offshore companies!

Farage should never be interviewed without being forced to answer for failures of Brexit. That the man whose lies fuelled Brexit vote which has cost UK Billions & who said Liz Truss budget was “best Tory budget since 1986” could be trusted on *anything* is mind-boggling #bbclaura

When you become chronically ill, you have to grieve the life you had before
You have to work hard at acceptance & letting go of guilt. At leaning into accommodations
You have to learn to rest, to pace and to take care of yourself
This process can be very hard. Give yourself grace. It takes time

I note with interest right-wing media's total absence of any concerns about prominent BBC presenter Armstrong expressing his highly political opinions. As was always perfectly clear to many of us, the problem was not that Lineker had views, but the fact they didn't approve of his views.
