It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform.
The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.

If the small cohort of Reform supporters I know is representative of the whole then Reform has serious problems.
Call it hate fatigue, loss of faith or simple boredom with the endless small boats hysteria.

This is not just a shocking statistic. It is the lived reality of women across Britain. Each number represents a life lost, a family broken, a community grieving.
When we hear this, our anger should be directed where it belongs - at the systems that fail to keep women safe - not at trans people.

Nigel Farage compared Black Lives Matter
protestors to the Taliban.
He described slave trader Edward Colston as a "philanthropist.
He called Enoch Powell his political hero, and stated the "basic principle of Powell's anti-immigration "Rivers of Blood" speech was correct.

The answer to right-wing populism isn't left-wing populism.
It's someone decent, with moral scruples, a workable plan and a chance of getting elected.
If democracies just bounce from one charismatic leader from different sides to the other we're doomed.
