"His Facebook account was exposed by an anti-Reform group claiming he was regularly engaging with a page called European Race, which promotes white supremacy."

Why are so many individuals involved in Reform UK being caught up in such a way?

I wonder how many people were delighted that there was an alternative to Gary Neville last night?

Steve Bannon knows his Italian history. In 1921 squadristi intimidated and killed people on the way to vote. The left vote collapsed. Fascists were elected. It was the beginning of the end for Italian democracy.

Gary Neville going on about Rosenior's "masterplan" which was "do nothing for 90 minutes", class

I’m sure Gary Neville will find something negative to say.

'Arsenal are playing like they are a goal in front', Gary Neville.

Gary Neville is cracking me up

He’s praising Chelsea for keeping it tight and restricting Arsenal when they’re the team needing a goal to level the tie

Does Gary Neville know that we won the first leg?

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

In the entryway of a cramped two-bedroom house in Shakopee, a pair of pink backpacks idle on coat hooks. The two girls haven’t been to school in weeks.

What’s it like to live in Minnesota right now? Life in the shadow of ICE.

We asked people how their lives have changed, or not changed.
