One of the best things about having an #EV is being able to pre-heat it remotely. No scraping, no risk of the car running on the drive with the keys in, no pollution

As for Farage’s use of racist slurs being confined to his childhood - well, that's not what Alan Sked, the founder of UKIP, claimed in this 2014 interview.

He says here that Farage was using the "n" word as late as 1997.

Farage would have been about 33 at time.

What is going on here?

Zarah Sultana is now officially listed in Parliament as being an MP for Your Party.

But Jeremy Corbyn and the other two remaining MPs involved with the party are not.

Has she gone rogue again?

We can take it from his evasion that he did racially abuse people at school
Farage really on the ropes there.
Did you ever racially abuse fellow pupils?

It was years ago.

Did you ever racially abuse fellow pupils?

Not in a hurtful way.

Did you ever racially abuse fellow pupils?

Not with intent.

Not genuine abuse.
