Nigel Farage is a privately educated stockbroker who could not give a damn about the working class. You'll never hear him talk about poverty or workers' rights. He's not standing against the elite — he's a member of the elite. A poundshop Enoch Powell trying to stay relevant.

The deselection of @faizashaheen is unacceptable. To use her tweets accounting personal experiences of Islamophobia as evidence for deselection is utterly outrageous. Telling a Muslim woman she is not allowed to talk about her own experiences of racism is clear Islamophobia.

“Black women don’t get to make light of their gaffe-making, impulsive remarks or off-colour comments. They don’t get to have bad days. Anything short of exemplary personal behaviour would result in public retribution & humiliation.” And here we are. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Lord Bamford owes £500,000,000 to HMRC he has retired from the House of Lords and fled. He expects his debt just like Michelle Mone's £232,000,000 debt to be written off. We must recover every penny from these thieves, and toss them in jail.

Roger, the population was 2m in 1066. 10k was a 0.5% increase. Today's population is 66m. 125k over 5 years is a 0.037% a year increase. Also, the Normans spent the subsequent decade laying waste to the North. By contrast, modern immigrants staff the NHS and harvest our food.

Why have I not heard the Tories suggest that parents worried about paying 20% VAT on private school fees need to learn how to budget and live on meals for 30p a day? Why is it acceptable to treat the most vulnerable with such contempt, but not fairly wealthy people 1

Nigel Farage has been on the BBC AT LEAST once every day since Rishi Sunak called the Election. Green's 0 times, Independents 0 times, SNP 0 times. I think you get the picture.

It tells you everything you need to know about British politics and media that the only person to have ever had to apologise for Nigel Farage's long history of inflammatory and racist comments, is a journalist who accurately reported them as such
BBC newsreader Geeta Guru-Murthy apologises on-air after accusing Nigel Farage of ‘customary inflammatory language’ during his speech at a Reform UK press conference in Dover today
