I know we have a sane new government, and thank god for it, but I am so relieved to see that some political clowns still exist, enabling the survival of the car crash interview.
In this one, Farage pretends he was asked to go to the US by, well, nobody.
Labour's @wesstreeting:
"Keir Starmer could literally be on his way to Buckingham Palace to be made PM and pundits would be saying 'Oh it's still a disappointing night for Labour'. I mean come on, give me a break. I've had enough of this."

Utterly disgusting to see the Green Party excluded from this. We are standing in every single seat in England and Wales. We have elected parliamentary representation, more than 800 councillors and look likely to win multiple MPs on July 4th.

NEW: Rishi Sunak to announce major package of measures to reduce net migration today.

In January 2023 Sunak promised he would make 5000 more NHS hospital beds available by winter.
Since then, there has been a *decrease* of 2,675 beds.
The assault on the NHS from this government is deliberate, orchestrated & absolutely relentless.
Here's just some of the things we learned about Boris Johnson's Government this week, which you won't have read much about from his remaining media supporters https://t.co/e7LvzbcJdM
This thread explains how the Nightingale "hospitals" were part of a wider strategy to weaken the NHS during the pandemic. The failed and fabulously expensive test and trace programme was doomed for the same reason. Well worth a read...
Why did the Tories kill Labour’s £55b school rebuilding project?
Because there was nothing in it for them
They weren’t making a quick buck so they killed it
That’s it. It’s that simple
