Stand by for 24 hours of Farage promotion without scrutiny. You have to hand it to him- to be a politician who gets treated like a commentator celebrity is a real achievement. But only possible with a media that prefers spectacle to scrutiny, and major parties that have never…

Women are unsafe on a daily basis - statistically due to men they already know. Want to make women safer? Change rape laws, fund refuges properly, end femicide, address misogyny in boys and men, improve healthcare. Taking aim at trans women does nothing to make women safer.

Local councils are in desperate need of funding but this isn't the way to go. Council tax has long been recognised as regressive as it doesn't reflect wealth accumulated over time. It's not right that a that a house in Hartlepool is taxed more than a luxury flat in Battersea.

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.
