Lovely hatchet job on the monstrosity that is Suella Braverman. Crace covers it all;
her dishonesty, disloyalty, nastiness, incompetence, her wild vanity… and her deep stupidity.
How dare these utter arses think we’d be persuaded by their swaggering nonsense.

Farage’s donors have spent £151,000 flying him around the world in support of Donald Trump.
Farage works for the MAGA movement, not the British public (and certainly not the voters of Clacton)

“The government must crack down on tax dodging, especially by the super-rich, but it must go so much further than that if it wants to transform our country and have a fighting chance at the next election. It must raise taxes on the very richest.”
Tommy Robinson: 'I challenge any journalist to come to Luton and find Muslims with non Muslims.'
I'm a journalist from Luton and this man is talking utter nonsense. A pleasure to work on this film, chatting to incredible people in my hometown and separating fact from fiction.

Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
The UK electricity is already the most expensive in the world.
Price set to rise again in October as Ofgem's pricing formula lets companies rip people off.
Who protects the people?
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next.
This is what dictatorship looks like.
This is organised far-right race-hate.
The vast majority of people don't believe in this racist bile.
Say NO to Reform UK and the Tories.
Say NO to the right wing media fueling hate
Say NO to Labour and their anti-migrant rhetoric.

Inequality is.
Everyone knows who is evil.
It ain't Ms Rachel.
150 billionaires extract £120bn a year profit from the UK.
They pay just 11% tax.
Ah but you know, the art of the deal? What an 🍊 🤡 🤣🤣
As we watch Keir Starmer and his team expand NHS privatisation, please remember that he was elected to become Labour leader saying specifically that he would remove NHS private outsourcing. He then quietly dropped this pledge in Summer 2022.

While the nation has plenty of real problems to deal with, Trump is ignoring them to manufacture fake emergencies.
Why?
