This is true, but it's largely the same people that the Tories spent 14 years featherbedding too. The only real difference was that the Tories pretended constantly that they were on the side of 'alarm clock Brits' but nonetheless shafted them at every opportunity anyway.

If you elect politicians who subscribe to extreme anti-car views, you are going to get the implementation of extreme anti-car policy that sees potentially lethal road damage deliberately not repaired.

Fascinating watching leftist female hypocrisy on the subject of sex crimes against women/girls. When it suits their political agenda, they're up in arms in performative outrage, happy to accuse any bloke within a one-mile radius of being a rapist, even though all the evidence is that he didn't rape anyone (Cornell University). But when it doesn't suit the political worldview, it's just no big deal, 'sure the slag wasn't asking for it?', and dismissed as part and parcel of living in modern society (Britain as viewed by the female editor of The Economist).

It’s exactly this. If you don’t declare war on Whitehall, it is certainly going to declare war on you. And it’s a fight to the death.

Pitiful. If you play their game according to their rules, you will lose. It’s set up that way. But Farage can’t help himself, so he always loses.

A country with government as small minded as this just isn’t going to make it.

We're at the point where regime media is extolling the virtue of the regime removing import taxes on marmalade - in a country that makes most of the marmalade it consumes - which tells us that Britain's late-era-Soviet-Union feel is only increasing to a new level.

What I can tell you confidently is that the word "smoke" could be replaced here by numerous other things that he doesn't approve of and wants banned, because authoritarian busybodies always have a list of such things that is as long as your arm.

As he lives large off your taxes with a salary and pension you can only dream of, schemes behind the scenes to promote the regime’s political agenda, and sends his thick, thuggish officers round to your home to investigate you for political speech crimes, he then pops up on regime media to describe himself as a ‘public servant’.

The British regime hates the internet/social media because its oppressive and petty behaviour now reaches a worldwide audience. The days when a few calls to Fleet St editors could bury a story the regime didn't like are long gone, and the regime seethes with fury because of it.

We have all now seen the confident stupidity and ideologically-driven ignorance of Jeevun Sandher MP. He has only a distant relationship with what one might call the real world, yet proudly presents himself as an economist and tells everyone he used to work at HM Treasury. If you ever ask yourself why Britain is failing as a nation, the presence of Mr Sandher - and all those just like him - in Westminster and Whitehall is the answer.

Given where Britain seems to be heading, I'd say guns and cans of petrol.

I think this translates as 'expect blackouts at any time'.

HM Treasury despises entrepreneurship and would have hired this person purely for cynical window-dressing purposes.

The people in Loughborough who voted for this cretin should be ashamed of themselves.

To people pushing the CANZUK alliance, I fail to see what we gain by getting closer to our ridiculous, compromised, corrupted colonial cousins. We have enough problems of our own.

No one is shocked by this. You only get an appointment like this if you’re a sinister political appointment and willing to trash the British national interest, so what is the point of ‘vetting’ the applicant?

If we “retain our humanity”, as he puts it, we will be erased in our own country. The idea that a rational self-defence of oneself is evidence of our ‘inhumanity’ is disgusting.
