The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right.

Farage earns more than any other MP for NOT being an MP. He says it’s “obviously sad” that part of his constituency is the most deprived area in England.

This is the whole country if he gets into power.

According to the UN, October was the deadliest month for settler violence since it started keeping track in 2006.
