The idea that such a small market share could make a material difference to banana prices is ludicrous.
To sum up: the only three claims I have looked at are wrong or massively implausible. I'm disinclined to look at the rest and I would dissuade others from wasting their time doing so.

Farage repeating - yet again - the simple lie that most new migrants don't work.

Pre-emotive concession after concession after concession. Inept, malevolent or compromised negotiators. An administration that shouldn’t be trusted with a potato, let alone European security.
“The Justice Department has quietly informed European officials that the United States is withdrawing from a multinational group created to investigate leaders responsible for the invasion of Ukraine, including President Vladimir V. Putin” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/u...
U.S. to Withdraw From Group Investigating Responsibility for Ukraine Invasion

Badenoch is treading an unasavoury line at #PMQs. She supports the PM, but not really. She supports Ukraine, but not really. She supports our troops, but not really.
I know it's difficult for LoTO to get noticed in a crisis, but her unpopularity and lack of grip does not override national security.

The absolute venality of this pair of autocrats.
Where are the Republicans who once gave Zelensky a standing ovation?
Their silence - while Trump & Putin decide how to plunder Ukraine - is sickening.

Your reminder that the under-use of our courtrooms - at a time of record trial backlogs - is deliberate government policy.
It began under the last government, and continues under this one.
Because criminal justice only matters when there’s a cheap tabloid headline to be won.
