Nigel Farage attended a rally of the AfD - the party whose demonstration yesterday led directly to this violence - as their honoured guest, to a standing ovation. And he still has a prime-time radio slot, never mind a job, at LBC. That's your problem, Britain, right there. https://t.co/5rlev18U8S

@Spectator & Rod Liddle struggling with the concept of 2018.

The idea that you would have to 'try' not to be racist is unfortunate.
The idea that you seemingly want credit for 'trying' not to be racist is bizarre.
The implication that you can't not be racist is unconscionable. https://t.co/8qH52QFC6p

In 2010 the Conservatives cut annual funding to build social housing by £2.5bn. Today Theresa May announced an extra £2bn to build social housing.... spread over the next 10 years! So by 2028 it’ll be a £33bn cut since 2010 instead of £35bn. No wonder there’s a housing crisis 🧐
