My kid’s school offered a
£££ trip to LA 🤷🏻‍♀️

Son & his pal decided not to go & arranged themselves a trip plus an air bnb for far less cost & he paid for it. (I did help out).

(Did scare me witless while they were out there though)

Inexplicably, my son’s very standard state school - in a mixed area, not a particularly affluent one - arranged a £4K trip to Kenya last year. I keep meaning to do a story on the astonishing escalation of the school trip.

“Interesting” isn’t a word I’d use.
And I’m so sick of the Covid denial in my country.

I think because there is no reasonable challenge in the MSM to what he says, so if it’s not corrected then it must be true. All that BBC/ITV/Channel 4 do is report “Nigel Farage said ….” without then saying but it’s a pack of lies

Another Reform Councillor appears to have messed up.

Voting Reform is really costing you - especially if you have to pay for yet another by election.

Does anyone remember how many *years* ago I started talking about risks compounding each other? That C19 is a risk factor for nasty complications… and it would add… or multiply with other risk factors?

Hello everyone out there…
Farage’s plan to scrap indefinite leave could collapse the NHS…
Which would be incredibly good news for someone wanting us to move to an ‘insurance based system’
FYI the average American pays £480 per month for private healthcare
Wake up to this folks!

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.
