Also, calling Russell Brand a comedian is like calling Tommy Robinson a journalist.

There is no evidence he is or ever was.

Ah yes, I well remember our hard work on behalf of the fishing industry. Out of 42 Fisheries meetings while I was an MEP I could only be arsed to attend 1. Then we screwed the whole fishing industry with Brexit, so well done us.

It's hard to find the words for how disgusting this is. It completely silences girls' experiences of male violence. It fails to recognise the importance of education for prevention. It ignores the drivers of men's violence. And it's racist.

Oh and for good measure, which party cut police numbers?

Reform tried to dismiss questions on Farage’s racism, saying they should be asked about the ‘substance’ of their policies instead.
Unsurprisingly, their policies are shit too.

My lesson from 2025: Reform is much more vulnerable than it appears | Gaby Hinsliff
The party’s astonishingly speedy growth disguised shallow roots – and its success has brought a level of scrutiny for which it simply isn’t ready, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

Very well said Richard.

This really is spot on. 👏👏👏
Six years after it was scrapped, Erasmus+ is coming back. As our Campaigns Manager, Richard Kilpatrick, explains, this goes far beyond university exchanges, supporting schools, youth programmes, vocational training and deprived communities across the UK.

As ever with Reform there's no attempt to take responsibility for Farage’s appalling behaviour as a schoolboy.

It's everyone else's fault that he said "Hitler was right" and bullied a 9 year old black kid when he was 17...

Poor Nigel is the real victim in all of this.

Rejoining Erasmus is only a betrayal of boneheaded idiocy. About time and bloody great.

Just look at Patel nodding and grinning behind Boris Johnson like the consummate fool she really is.

Starmer had some festive advice for Reform MPs at PMQs: "If mysterious men from the east appear bearing gifts, this time report it to the police."

Nigel Farage said that the 'Raise the Colours' campaign was a "grassroots movement driven by ordinary people”.

Kemi Badenoch said they should be "welcomed" as a symbol of "unity"

Now the campaign has pivoted to racially abusing migrants and intimidating charity workers on the beaches of France

It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.

HURRAH! Petitions are crap at making gov'ts do things they don't want to. But they are good for two things: First, making them explain why they won't do something, but second (and more important) nudging/giving them permission to do something they DO want, but that's been crowded out bandwidth-wise.
