If Shabana Mahmood wants to talk about what's 'tearing Britain apart', let's start with billionaire tax evasion, the cost of living crisis, overflowing prisons, sewage spilling into rivers and streets full of people sleeping rough. #costoflivingcrisis #UKNOW

The stupidity of Farage’s latest ‘plan’ is staggering.
Claiming they’d save British taxpayers money by ripping up international commitments and starting a trade war with Europe is the puerile foot-stamp of a party that uses prejudice as policy. Ruinous nonsense.

Reform would ‘cut benefits for EU nationals and hike NHS immigration surcharge’
Party claims its policies would eliminate ‘black hole’ Rachel Reeves faces in the budget – but Labour says the ‘fantasy numbers don’t add up’

he did consider him but went with Lloyd Austin instead, he left the UT system in 2018 citing health issues & wanting a less stressful retirement, so maybe he wasn’t open to it, he’s now on the boards of ConocoPhillips & Palantir Technologies-easy money, was actually on Harris’ list of potential VPs

The Green Fields of France has been on my mind since Remembrance Day. One lyric from it has strong echoes for this kind of policy.
'Man's blind indifference to his fellow man.'
You can't overlook this kind of hideous policy without sheer, inhuman, indifference.

Bias is often in the eye of the beholder
So let’s stick to measurable facts
During 10 yrs of debate about Brexit, BBC QuestionTime had Britain’s Members of the European Parliament on the show 50 times
Every single one was from the pro Brexit minority
47 were from UKIP/BP
23 times Farage

there was a major ecoli outbreak in the UK last year. nobody joined the dots with the lack of import checks because it's nigh on impossible to do that.
illegal meat & produce is impossible to trace, once it enters the british processed food chain.

Brits are also unaware the UK has no SPS deal with the EU which would reduce checks on produce coming EU to UK.
It's like landing at an airport with nobody checking your bags and you volunteering to travel 22km for checks.
It's a smugglers paradise and food safety is already a major problem.

Spot checks have already revealed the scale of illegal meat entering the british food chain and it's quite staggering.
Meanwhile the UKGov, incredibly, has not fully informed the public of the issue and postponed checks until 2027, which is a very long time to play dice with food safety.

I suspect this is the case. Why would anyone invite legal action from the most litigous man in the world, with such obviously clumsy a d unnecessary editing?
You can be assured that tendentious memo by Michael Prescott, and the co-ordinated combination of the Telegraph, Mail, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and the White House means that the BBC hit job has been long in the planning, and has some insider help

Not that I've done many interviews, but I can say that one question I *know* I flubbed at an interview was a common one I for some reason didn't expect: "Where do you see yourself in ten years?"
I blanked. The future is hard for me to think about.
So I wrote a song about 2035 (ten years from now):
