There are those that think that Farage is somehow better than Labour's Rayner. What deluded people they are.
“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties”

When a government inherits policies from the previous government and some time has passed ( where they could have fixed them) they then become their policies.
The DWP gave nearly £250 million to private companies in June alone
Over £40 million of this mind-blowing amount was spent on notorious DWP health and Work Capability assessments - where these private companies routinely abuse disabled people

He made his name with a memoir set among the hillbillies of the rugged Appalachians – yet it seems JD Vance now favours altogether more gentle hills.

"When I received word I’d been selected, a light went on inside me. The money would be a huge boost, of course, but also, I felt seen. I felt valued... It turns out that €325 a week [in UBI] can not only help with groceries and doctors’ bills, it also makes you feel like you’re worth something." 🎯

People who make art are human beings who need the same things as you: shelter, food and water. But they also need to be valued enough to invest in

What nonsense. This development will be jointly owned by a French state owned energy company and an Irish state owned energy company.
Why not a Welsh state owned energy company.
Devolve the Crown Estate and we could have one.
