What's up with #TheGuardian's #racistFarage revelations? Now in week 3, since 18 Nov. Several articles per day.
#Farage's systematic racism was wicked. His 2025 evasions are despicable. #DulwichCollege's inaction was criminal.
Guardian readers have seen Farage's racism for decades. But Farage's supporters were also well aware, and see it as a virtue.
The racism appals lefties & liberals, but won't upset #ReformUK supporters. Some Faragistas love it. So why make such a huge thing of it?

He is 'Britain Trump' and we don't want that because we can see what that looks like in America and that looks very bad.
Very bad.

I wondered where Streeting was getting his misinformation.
Probably here.
Child poverty strategy?
Not one of these addresses the fundamental issue that the country is drastically top heavy. Too many decades of disproportionate pay awards and imbalanced taxation have conspired to ensure the rich are exceedingly over-rich and the lowest paid are desperate.
Even the breadline is above their heads.

Just a thought about #YourParty and people's lack of enthusiasm.
I know they fucked up the whole setting up of the party, and they took ages to get this far ...
But I do think some folk dismiss the party because they fear being on the losing team. That is, they don't want to support a party that turns out to be a laughing stock.
The thing is, if not enough people support it, it will never get off the ground. So it gets all a bit catch 22. But I do think people need to feel confident in whatever they are supporting. It's not just a case of agreeing with policies, it's a case of feeling proud of the party they support. Faith they will win.
It's a bit like liking a band. Sometimes people need the endorsement from a music critic before they will feel confident to passionately like a band. I think it works that way sometimes.
There might be music you love, and music you like, but a current scene and endorsement from journalists can turn a likeable band into a band you feel passionate about. The passion comes from social kudos from being a fan of a cool band, and confidence that you won't look like a nob from admitting you like them.
I kinda think the lack of enthusiasm for Your Party is a similar thing.

Because too many people in the UK let him get away with using the Cass Review to take away puberty blockers from trans kids (it's NOT complex how it works folks)
“The Home Office [UK] can take immediate steps to reduce the anxiety that migrants are experiencing by giving them the safety of a physical or digital back up that will allow them to prove their status in any circumstances."

"In a June 2025 poll by the campaign group Care Not Killing, 65% agreed that the government should prioritise sorting out palliative, social and end-of-life care before considering whether to introduce assisted dying. Given the damning evidence of underfunding in end-of-life care, the message that the members of both parliaments should now take on board is that assisted living matters too."

The Palestine Action hunger strike is not being televised
"Six political prisoners – held unlawfully for a year or more on remand, & retroactively deemed to be 'terrorists' for trying to stop the Gaza genocide – have been on hunger strike for many weeks in prison. At least one is already seriously ill."
"There has been blanket silence from the media... & barely any coverage of the appalling conditions".

Ireland calling the UK out for being stupid enough to fall for this 'gender critical' bollocks. The Minister of Health -
(fwiw the acceptance of trans people in Ireland feels great vs TERF Island, but I'm dubious the 'in power' FF/FG parties will do much on the absolutely appalling Irish public trans healthcare, and Sinn Fein appear very untrustworthy. But we can at least hope ...)

Nothing ever does stack up with our #ukgovernment , they address symptoms instead of causes.
Same with #nationalhealthservic NHS waiting times, they increase pressure, to unbearable levels, but the root cause is where there is a bottle-neck. Probably something like the lack of care homes….right at the end of the chain.
