Britain's Trump
Nigel Farage doesn't want the NHS to be funded by general taxation.
Or to put it clearly, he wants to get rid of the NHS.

This is good. Another class A24 production, written by David E Kelley with a great performance by Elle Fanning. But the real standout is Michelle Pfeiffer. One scene, camera on her face, no dialogue, and you get a world of backstory in 30 seconds.

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.
After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

London continues to lead. Last week we were ⤵️
Recognised as one of the greenest global cities with spectacular green spaces and cleaner air.
Named the ‘new Hollywood’ - attracting record investment.
Ignore the haters: London is the greatest city.

I may be a naive little baby but I don't think sinister racist YouTubers should be on Question Time at all. Booking Nick Griffin was massively controversial in 2009 but I can only imagine that the bookers don't care anymore, which seems bad
Konstantin Kisin claims that these exchanges are "not a debate about whether Rishi Sunak is English or British"
Nelson: "Rishi Sunak is English?"
Kisin: "He’s a brown Hindu, how can he be English?”
Alexander: You said “he’s a brown Hindu, how is he english?
Kisin: That's not what I said."

If you think the Trump Regime aren't absolutely terrified of Kilmar Abrego Garcia coming home and talking, take a moment and let soak in they just tried to conflate him with a MURDER he has absolutely nothing to do with.
I’m sorry she lost her daughter—but Kilmar Garcia had nothing to do with it.
She’s twisting two different stories. Mad her tax dollars sent Sen Van Hollen to El Salvador—but not mad they’re funding Kilmar’s indefinite imprisonment w/out due process?
One more time: easier to be angry than informed.

Everywhere around the world women watch & applaud her bravery too. She stood up for all of us.
Because the shame has to switch sides.
