Nigel Farage is going on Question Time this week, nobody wants him, he isn't even standing for election, he shouldn't be on TV every bloody day.

RT if you will be boycotting Question Time and the awful Nigel Farage

Jim Ratcliffe, "Brexit sort of unfortunately didn't umm.. It didn't turn out as people anticipated"

"It was about immigration.. People fed up with the influx.. A small island like the UK can't cope with vast numbers of people.. It overburdens the NHS, traffic, the police"

"The country is designed for 55 or 60 million people, now we've got 70 million and all the services break down"

Man who left the UK to be an immigrant in Monaco to avoid UK tax, is complaining about immigrants coming to the UK who are paying UK taxes 🤷‍♂️

By moving to Monaco Ratcliffe avoided £4 billion in tax.

So I put it to you, the reason services are underfunded is not because of immigrants who come to the UK and pay their fair share of tax. It's because of people like Ratcliffe who avoid paying their share of UK tax and so starve public services.

And Brexit turned out exactly how many predicted, and arguably it's worse than many predicted. Warnings were dismissed as project fear, and of course people like Ratcliffe won't be impacted by the extend of Brexit. When you're worth over £12 billion, a 50% increase in your food shopping bill isn't even noticable

Conservative Lord Ben Houchen and his Teesworks Freeport gets destroyed by Victoria Derbyshire.

But she misses at the end, the developers didn't see Ben Houchen a mile off, they are his mates, and Houchen and Michael Gove are in on the whole rotten deal.

Here it is! The breath-taking cover of #BloodRoses by @Dougwriter. I was utterly captivated by this novel. Doug has written a compulsive plot with characters that feel so real they might have stepped out of history. It's the start of a thrilling news series - get one pre-ordered!

Michelle Mone’s PPE MEDPRO was a company that was less than 3 weeks old, with zero employee’s, no contracts, no premises, no previous transactions of any kind and with £100 in the bank.

Then the Government gave it £203,000,000.

Jail, jail, jail.

Well @GlasgowCC have confirmed today our appeal has been rejected and we have to pay the fine for unloading food for the homeless & vulnerable, and has stated we should not be loading and unloading here after they awarded us a dispensation to do so ? This needs to be reconsidered as a matter of urgency.

Worth bearing in mind, this is what the BBC said to me in 2020 when Andrew Neil was being a shouty, right-wing pile on orchestrator on Twitter.

Compare and contrast.
