Donald Trump is a Kremlin stooge who wants to sell out Ukraine and the rest of Europe to Putin. We can't let that happen.

Starmer should seize frozen Russian assets in this country - today - and convince Merz and Macron to do the same.

One coercive aspect of communications under Conservative rule was using Civil Service accounts for political purposes.

It’s hugely disappointing to see Labour do the same.

It’s completely inappropriate in a liberal democracy where there should be a strict separation of party from state.

This story more than any other disgusts me.

Yinka was a little 9 year old boy

Farage was a swaggering bully aged 17

We all knew those bullies at school and in this case teenager Farage was a racist bully too
Yinka Bankole was 12 when Farage spotted him in the playground:

“He towered over me. ‘Where are you from?’ he asked. Within seconds of offering my rather confused and sputtering answers, he had a clear response: ‘That’s the way back to Africa,’.”

Here I am with Reform councillor Andrew Harrison, who was one of a group of people fined over £1m for employing illegal workers. Like all good patriots, he hates immigrants, apart from the ones he can exploit for profit.

Oh no, wait, I wrote it *two years ago* when it was blatantly obvious what was going on and how it would get much much worse.

“We want growth. We know this is the single best way of getting it…
We could then challenge Farage… to either continue with our economic recovery, or to halt it in its tracks and take us backwards.”

Finally. Weaken Farage by doing something that actually works.

It's very obvious that if any other prominent politician had been so racist in school that it's haunted 20+ former classmates ever since, it would be treated like a bigger deal. We should examine how and why "still being very racist four decades later" is acting as Farage's protective shield.

Short-fused racist has tantrum at BBC for asking him about being a racist bully at school. Then tries to claim that Reform was given £9M by crypto billionaire, Harborne, for “absolutely nothing in return”.

That’s all that sorted then.

You would think the alleged indiscretions of the schoolboy Nigel Farage would have drawn outrage from a just, impartial British media. Strangely, it seems they have not.
