'A new set of forest towns will be built in the area between Oxford and Cambridge, nestled in the middle of a new national forest'.
These are charter cities and are being set up in deregulated SEZs.
Yet again, The Guardian omits to investigate the truth.

Oh Farage actually used the "banter" defence.

He's quite literally copying the Bernard Manning playbook

bsky.app/profile/raks...
ITV Evening News had another few seconds of this interview, where he says it’s “banter on a playground”

Farage starts to say “But, isn’t it funny…”

ITV: “Okay, so you did say stuff to these people then?”

NF: “I've never directly racially abused anybody. No.”

What was funny, Nigel? 🤔

Probably won’t see this in mainstream media - aka the right wing press - coz it’s against their narrative. Wind energy in Britain broke a new record last week with nearly 23GW on the grid one cold windy evening. That was 56% of all electricity on Britain’s grid.

NHS private finance diverts money away from healthcare, towards the pockets of private shareholders.

🔥 Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.

A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:

A 6–8% hit to GDP

That's £180bn-£240bn a year

It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.

Reminder that In the 1990s Farage sought the backing of the disgraced former Conservative MP and notorious racist Enoch Powell and twice asked him to stand as a candidate for UKIP.

The UK political system is corrupt.

Political donations enable corporations/rich to buy parties, hand consultancies to legislators.

Normal people are disillusioned, increasingly don't register to vote or vote.

How will the govt cleanse the system?

Watch the Minister's reply.

People that make money, fund success - here in our country in our economy, they should pay tax here, put back into the system that enabled their success. Not run off like some thief in the night to a tax haven to save paying their fair share. I reckon that’s immoral.

This is nonsense. No such card exists.

This is false—the video actually shows a cemetery in Ukraine. It is unclear what the people are doing by the graves, however.
