The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

The ‘Hurrah for the Blackshirts’ Rothermere Daily Mail headline 1934 should be reprised by the Rothermere Daily Mail 2025 for the record?
It takes a special kind of right-wing British political party to literally sell black shirts.

Labour/Tories/Reform have the same policy on human rights. Basically, they are all intending to remove them.
Never, ever vote for this trio of authoritarian extremist lunatics.
Unless you are a wannabe dictator, a sadomasochist, or an idiot.

Why do they want us to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)?
The Government moots leaving the ECHR as a pragmatic solution to an immigration “crisis”, but is there a more sinister motive behind the push?

An excellent summary.
“And then, of course, there’s Brexit; the elephant in the room, stamping all over fiscal headroom. Reeves is right to say there’s a hole in the public finances: a big, Nigel Farage-shaped void ……. worth £180–£240bn a year.”

Lifting the two-child benefit cap is welcome, but Rachel Reeves' tax and spend plans fall far short of the financial shake up this country needs

82 seconds of Nigel Farage refusing to deny if he ever racially abused classmates.
He was a racist then and he’s a racist now. He shouldn’t be anywhere near power.
He was a racist then and he’s a racist now. He shouldn’t be anywhere near power.
![Quote from Guardian article by Peter Ettedgui:
"[Farage] would sidle up to me and growl: ‘Hitler was right' or 'gas them', sometimes adding a long hiss to simulate the sound of the gas showers [...] I'd never experienced antisemitism growing up, so the first time that this vicious verbal abuse came out of Farage's mouth was deeply shocking. But I wasn't his only target. I'd hear him calling other students ‘Paki' or 'Wog', and urging them to 'go home'. I tried to ignore him, but it was humiliating. It was shaming. This kind of abuse cuts through to the core of your identity."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xvmfn4sqxoxa5qjovw5tcehg/bafkreifxbqlortxolyp2jmm2ldtnulohon6zh7tvcajttjxuq4j6qzdema@jpeg)

The ‘case for the prosecution’.
As everyone knows, Farage is an obnoxious, shit-stirring, nasty racist.
There is no credible defence. Apart from the vacuous pleas from other obnoxious, shit-stirring, nasty racists.
