Conservative MPs really do think the public are thick
David Frost campaign against the "awful" Brexit deal he negotiated
Chris Philp campaign against NCHIs he brought to parliament

Business confidence at a 10 year high
International investment at record levels.
Violent crime in the UK a 25 year low.
NONE of these stories are in The Daily Mail, Telegraph, or GBNEWS.
Thankfully SOME of us are better informed.
Nigel Farage posts a video from 2015 in Greece and claims it is the UK today. What more proof is needed that this lying, grifting sack of shit will do anything to incite hatred and division.
The latest figures show robbery, theft, residential burglary and knife crime are down in London, but there's still a long way to go before I’m satisfied.
Backed with record funding from City Hall, the Met is putting high-visibility policing at the heart of fighting crime.
Small boats is an issue. But for the BBC news coverage of Macron visit to be entirely focused on that, without any mention of the nuclear deal, and no reference to his very strong - accurate - statements about the role Brexit has played in creating this mess, is a bit weird.

The #bbc Royal Charter and Agreement mandate that the corporation is independent and impartial, meaning it must provide impartial news and treat controversial subjects with due impartiality. This includes reflecting a wide range of views and perspectives without under-representing significant viewpoints.
That means no favour or bias towards any political party or organisation!!

Lord Heseltine - The UK got a lot of licences to fish in our own waters when we joined the European Union... & then we sold those licenses to the Europeans, & that's why they have a bigger share than us.
The Economist estimates that the annual costs of Reform UK’s manifesto would be around £200bn and savings around £100bn. The gap would amount to a colossal fiscal shock, blowing up the deficit and straining the gilt market to its limit https://t.co/t3hhM5dKmT
