Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied

I'm staggered that a family whose names were Al, Al, Al, Harry and Barry did not immediately make the journalist a tiny bit suspicious, or even curious.

It has long been my view that the people who pose the greatest threat to British values are the Home Office. Deliberate and excessive cruelty to children is not (I hope) a British value. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Are you able to host in Stoke-on-Trent? We have a potential guest in urgent need of a roof over her head as soon as possible. She is a 27-year-old trans woman, speaks some English, and is currently being supported by a caseworker. Please get in touch if you can help ❤️

I know that it's completely irrelevant that the Met Office is only 40 miles away from my home, but it does make me all the more irrationally cross when they can't even accurately describe the weather right now, let alone give a reliable forecast.
