Farage got called a 'Putin-loving free-speech imposter' in Congress Why can't Labour do this instead of getting all weird about flags while pretending their houses are shrines to the Jubilee? Instead they fan Farage's flames, turn up the dial on racism & embolden his base while repulsing their own.

Imagine, if you will, a group of women doing an extraordinary thing. Imagine while you’re speaking, the most powerful man in the country sends jets overhead to drown you out. One is an act of courage. The other an act of cowardice. We know which is which.

I guess this is a top news story for someone. Clearly more important than Trump/Epstein victims, bloody flags everywhere, racists allowed to harass and injure whoever they like, Farage’s humiliation in US, Russia/China/N Korea summit, and only second to Rayner’s hanging offence.

Farage and Reform are so worried about 'grooming gangs' and women's safety they can't even be bothered to turn up to discuss it. Maybe because many of their supporters have been arrested for domestic abuse. Their silence is deafening! bsky.app/profile/refo...
