If only we knew who was responsible for the things that Farage and the far-right are complaining about on a daily basis.
Oh wait it’s the Brexit campaign.

BBC on a normal one again - posting a clip on Instagram (without any other perspectives) of Niall Ferguson calling for “Thatcherism on steroids” and lauding Javier Milei.
