Shadow Trade Sec, Andrew Griffith, underlines need to "have honest conversations about immigration", then in the next breath dishonestly labels youth mobility as "freedom of movement" that may "tip hundreds of thousands" into the UK.

RFK Jr blames diet, lifestyle & vaccines for chronic illness. Dr Oz says it’s a “patriotic duty” to lead a healthy life & be fit enough to serve in the military. Neither of them are pushing for Universal Healthcare, basic income, an end to food deserts & inequality, clean water etc. It’s eugenics
