Blaming immigrants is the far right’s favourite distraction. The real problem? Billionaires hoarding wealth and dodging taxes.

When Farage and I were growing up (similar age) Russia was the enemy, we were both in cadets, Russia was the Army’s foe

Villains in Movies & books were Russian.. those who helped Russia were traitors

Since 2010 Farage has been on Russian TV at least 17 times talking the West down

Nigel Farage's relationship with Russian media comes under scrutiny

The Ukip leader's Euroscepticism makes him a shoo-in at the Russian state broadcaster that is often called Putin's mouthpiece

Wilfred refers back to the prewar refugees to UK and kindertransport and says, "Back then, it was different."

It wasn't. It was the very definition of a hostile environment for refugees.

The reason it was "kinder" transport was because hate was whipped up against adults fleeing Nazi Germany. 1/2

The Rafah crossing is expected to re-open.

Alongside the desperately needed aid, journalists must be allowed into Gaza.

Over 200 journalists have been killed in Gaza - but the crimes of the Israeli government and military must not go undocumented.

Let the journalists in.

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.

Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We can see where this is going.
