Sorry, just a small technical note on use of alt text for images: how does it help those with visual impairments to be specifying colours and distance from the subject? Shouldn’t we be working to amplify the more meaningful, message-oriented aspects?

A close-up, low-angle shot of Nigel Farage speaking into a microphone.

The Reform UK leader spoke in favour of Tate for defending “male culture” in a Strike It Big podcast that aired in February, while acknowledging that the influencer had gone “over the top” and elsewhere that he had said some “pretty horrible” things."

We’re not going to stand by while any man tries to make misogyny normalised in this country.

Wake up, Nigel – it’s 2026, not 1956.

March with us on 28 March if you agree.

Council set to veto Southend protest restrictions Calls for protests to be restricted under Southend’s public space protection orders are unlikely to go ahead over concerns tougher

Photo of Yusuf at a lectern saying “shadow Home Secretary” (Wot?) Reform's plan for a 'British ICE' combines cruelty with stupidity

Project forward to 2036 under a majority Reform government and the picture darkens further. Britain would be smaller, older and whiter; more isolated from Europe; paradoxically, more vulnerable to foreign interterence and less able to fund its own defence.
The welfare state would shrink to a skeleton. Charity would fill the gaps.
Flags would proliferate; rights would not. The police and courts would be politicised. The BBC could disappear.
The NHS would survive only as a minimal safety net. Protections against discrimination would erode - you might indeed be sacked for being disabled.
Migrants and even their British-born children could find their rights curtailed unless they were deemed to
"contribute" sufficiently. Meanwhile, the wealthiest would enjoy a generous, low-tax regime.

“Rarely has a British political party unveiled a programme that combines cruelty with impracticality on such an extravagant scale.”

Chilling on Reform’s increasingly confident fascism. High on viciousness and greed. Very low on wisdom. A ruinous combination.

Reform UK is refusing to suspend a councillor who reshared a post calling for a female Labour MP to be shot. Given the history of violence against MPs in the UK, calling this an “honest mistake” is indefensible. There can be no excuses.
