Britain is not a country of racist bigots.

Time for the decent majority to "take back control".

Repost if you agree.

It's because too many MPs didn't bother to vote, on the grounds that it was "only" a 10-minute rule motion.
Today was a very easy opportunity for the Commons to hand Farage a resounding and humiliating defeat. They missed an open goal because 337 Labour MPs recorded no vote.

Farage's motion on leaving the European Convention on Human Rights failed: 154 votes to 96

All 4 @greenparty.org.uk MPs voted against it, because we believe international agreements on human rights are a good thing.

But only 63 out of 401 Labour MPs did:

The 'for' votes are from Reform, Conservatives and some smaller parties.
The 'against' votes are from Green, Plaid, SNP, Independent, Lib Dem, some Labour and some smaller parties.

The United States is no longer negotiating with Canada because the America's Republican President does not understand his predecessor's view of tariffs.

Forget the clip that worries the President. Reagan was consistent, and here's a different speech where he made his case.

Here's Farage thanking pro-Russian fascist Steve Bannon for his help in the referendum campaign.

The video continues with Farage with Murdoch and Lebedev at the latter's post referendum garden party.

Farage is no patriot. He's a treasonous tool of foreign powers and elites.

That scene of the Welsh BBC correspondent being the only person interviewing Caerphilly's new Plaid AM while the rest of the media interviewed Reform's loser in the background was far too on the nose.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.

Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.

That, right there, is the problem.
