There’s a lot we could say about Frank Hester – but this is simply disgusting.

Unbelievably, the quote in the headline is actually significantly worse in context. A new low for prejudice in our public sphere.

Sheffield has a housing shortage. Is charging landlords who keep homes empty double the rate of council tax part of the solution? 🤔

The US and UK have launched a war on Yemen in retaliation for its solidarity with the Palestinian people — to defend their profits and to preserve Israel's genocide in Gaza. Hands off Yemen!
