Farage endorsed Liz Truss & Javier Milei's economic policies.. Brutal austerity, deregulation, small state (unless it's to catch undocumented migrants), lower taxes for the rich, slashing pensions, betraying WASPI women & becoming a "yes man' to the US. Don't mention Brexit!

Once again, this category error. Antisemitism is not prompted by whatever faith Jews practice. Nazis didn't ask whether or not the people they were rounding up kept Kosher.

This poll lays bare the stark reality of the situation the country faces. Progressives in Caerphilly should think long and hard about who can win this race and who they should vote for - both next week and in May 2026.

A proper good post by @GeorgeJulian about my book launch... (There has been much silence on the topic from academics in this field.)
