Brass of the BBC to point to polls, when they've given disproportionate attention to Farage personally for a decade.

"Starmer had a chance to thwart the smuggling gangs – with ‘one in, one out’, he has bottled it.
This messy policy won’t deter desperate asylum seekers. It’s more likely to have been created to appease the likes of Nigel Farage."

Ed Davey, Lib Dem MP, has done a letter about Musk's speech at the far right protest yesterday:
"I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.
"As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions."
(If you click through to the Bluesky post, apologies for lack of proper alt text on the letter itself. I did look on his web site for the full text & didn't find it there.)

It will be a disgrace if the BBC and newspapers fail to give this terrific speech as much coverage as Farage.

"Nigel Farage joins a disturbingly long list of UK politicians who are trying to win votes with promises of stripping other people of their human rights. If they win, nothing stops them taking away your rights too." -- @… is completely right about this, as #Trump
In order to maximize the number of faces eaten by leopards Farage's party will exit international face-eating prevention conventions.
"We have to get back the ability to decide, can we really feed faces to leopards? Whose faces can be eaten?.. You know what? I think three quarters of the country would cheer to the rafters as the leopards ate faces", said Farage.
No sign of any promise to improve the lives of anyone in the UK at all, just a promise to make life harder and more difficult and even impossible here for some hated minorities.
What a horrible man and what a terrible party.

"The UK’s actual record in the 1930s is far from good, but no doubt if Nigel Farage had been in power he would have eagerly sent every Jewish refugee fleeing from the Nazis back to Germany."

"Starmer says UK will recognise Palestinian statehood in September unless Israel agrees ceasefire and two-state solution”
Erm, surely, if a two state solution was implemented, then we would recognise the state of Palestine so none of this makes any sense??

Leo Varadkar, who stood down as taoiseach in April 2024,
said he did not think a date should be fixed for an Irish unity referendum
as nationalists did not yet have the numbers to win.
But he said planning for a united Ireland should take place.
"I don't think a united Ireland is inevitable, I think it's something that we have to work towards," he said.
