Brexit is the toxic epicentre of the political shitshow we now have to endure. It promoted idiocy and deceit, endorsed racism, divided us, made us poorer, weaker, less safe and less sane. It’s belittled the country, killed the Tory party and given birth to Reform.
A relentless klaxon of failure.

It should be simple: people who cheer on violence in the UK can't enrich themselves with British taxpayers’ money.

We desperately need to give local authorities the planning powers to stop even more family homes being turned into empty second homes in places like the Lakes and the Dales.

Is there anything much more repulsive than a very wealthy, safe, privileged Tory/Reform MP/commentator targeting deliveroo drivers and asylum-seekers in dismal hotels with their anti-immigrant, racist bile - to whip up civil unrest that they hope to use as their lever into power? No.

Farage is an absent MP, earning a fortune from side grifts. His ‘party’ is in hock to fossil fuel donors. He’s pro Trump, pro austerity (DOGE) and his ‘policies’ are nothing more than ugly populist hogwash that have done real damage to our country.

The NHS is in crisis. We support extra investment to help turn it around, but without fixing social care, no amount of funding will solve the problem.

It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning.
Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10
