⚽ Whilst the World Cup is incredibly exciting & unifying, the experience of watching football isn’t the same for everyone, especially women. That’s why we headed to Birmingham New Street on Monday to discuss this with passengers.
I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.
It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.
But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.
The scenes this evening in Portswood are completely unacceptable.
The Nowak family made a powerful call to us all yesterday to not let Henry’s death be used to create further division, hatred or tension.
There can be no justification for hijacking this tragedy to stir up violence and disorder. Those responsible can expect to face the full force of the law.
I thank the police who have tonight shown great bravery and calm in the face of disgraceful violence directed at them.
This headline makes it sound as if the Reform Cllr wanted Nigerians to do the road maintenance.
The actual quote was “the amount of Nigerians in town.
Should melt them all down and fill in the pot holes!!”
How on earth could Tice not bring himself to condemn that?
Before I was an MP, I worked on the current series of polymer banknotes at the Bank of England.
So I know how decisions about our currency are made, and why they matter.
Nigel Farage clearly doesn’t.
What he conveniently ignores is that central banks regularly issue new banknote series. It’s how they stay ahead of counterfeiters and keep our currency secure.
It’s technical. It’s essential. And it’s completely routine.
So why is he manufacturing outrage?
Because Farage and Reform UK have spent months attacking the Bank of England itself.
They’ve demanded the Bank halt quantitative tightening. 💷
They’ve pushed to stop interest being paid on central bank reserves, which would completely destroy monetary policy transmission. ⚠️
And Farage has even suggested replacing the Governor with someone aligned to his agenda.
Let’s be clear:
Politicians leaning on central banks is how you spook markets and undermine confidence in the economy.
Bank of England independence, brought in by the last Labour government, exists for a reason.
To keep markets and household finances stable.
I back the Bank to keep our currency secure, not to be dragged into political point-scoring.
So if Farage spent half as much time understanding how the Bank works as he does attacking it, we’d hear a lot less of this nonsense. ❌
