Folk better stop laughing this off. Reform-run No10 means ripped-up workers’ rights, climate denial baked into policy, migrants and minorities used as target practice, and the NHS carved up for profit. Farage is a millionaire dressed up as “one of the lads,” He and his mates will not suffer you will

Lloyds warns car finance scandal could cost it £2bn.

No one forced it to mis-sell financial products. Execs got bigger bonuses but won't bear any of the cost.

Lloyds promised to investigate HBOS frauds, promised a report by 2018. Still waiting. FCA does nothing.

Lloyds warns car finance scandal could cost it £2bn

The bank has set aside an additional £800m, saying the number of eligible claims is expected to be higher than previously thought.

Perthyn a rhannu gwerthoedd - dyna sy’n ein gwneud yn Gymry.

Dwi'n ferch o dde-ddwyrain Llundain a ddaeth yn Gymraes.

Mae ein Cymru ni yn un sy'n croesawu, yn cynnwys ac yn adeiladu, nid yn un sy'n rhannu.

Being Welsh is about belonging and shared values.

I was a loud south-east London girl who became Welsh, heart and soul.

Our Wales is one that welcomes, includes and builds, not one that divides.

Presumably Nigel Farage wants the UK to join Russia and Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR because he admires Putin so much. I guess Kemi Badenoch wants to leave only because Farage has already promised to do it.
