The first role of government - above all others - is to protect its citizens.

From 6 September 2012 relating to Cameron’s reshuffle. Appropriate for Keir Starmer and The Labour Party reshuffle today? “It's just one bunch of muppets exchanged for another bunch. Not one of them nas actually worked in a real business” #Reshuffle

He may not be PM and you may not like him but Nigel Farage MP is having a measurable impact on Keir Starmer's The Labour Party government.

This is amazing Camilla Tominey from 05:30. Amazing interviewer holding politicians Steve Reed to account. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…

Surely those who laughed at Jaguar should be laughing at this. (Or perhaps it was the colour/crazy advert that they were laughing at) autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-c…
