Voters in Makerfield might care to remember that after a woman called for immigrants to be burned alive in their homes two years ago, Nigel Farage gave her a platform at his party conference.

Just heard self-centred hypocrite Nigel Farage on BBC News say that no British politician has been physically attacked more than him. An insult to the memory of Jo Cox and David Amess, both murdered.

Literally Israel just passed a law in its Knesset that allows the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners/hostages only — who already endure torture, starvation & brutalization. This is genocide by “democratic” vote. And yet our calls for boycott divestment & sanction are the violence, right?

Coming a bit late to the party, but it dawned on me that the two 1988 #totp episodes on Friday had a huge number of people on stage. For the first programme: Mousse T: 11 Lutricia McNeal: 6 Shania Twain: 7 Alexia: 5 Del Amitri: 9 England United: 13 B*Witched: 5

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before. Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

Labour is handing this country on a silver platter to Reform. People do not vote Labour because they hate immigrants and want Reform-lite. They vote Labour because they want it to make a positive difference to their lives.
