Aping Farage & attacking migrants is doing incalculable damage to Labour’s ratings. Anybody decent still in Labour who’s watching - how far will you let them go on this path to destroy you? Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves & Yvette Cooper must go. What are you waiting for?

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
