In this video we explore Burnham’s promise to implement a more representative electoral system in the UK but will he actually succeed where countless other governments have failed – and actually change the voting system?

Nigel Farage said Andy Burnham’s comments about potentially rejoining the EU had given him “the biggest boost in [his] career”. We look at why — even if it seems counter-intuitive — another Brexit debate could actually hurt Farage.

Before the Brexit referendum, a whole bunch of MPs explained to Britain how the economy would collapse post-Brexit. While Brexit hasn’t yet happened, some did say that the destruction would take place immediately after the vote; which didn’t exactly happen as expected. So in this video, we explain what’s happened and why the economy hasn’t done too badly in the end.

Why has the price of milk risen since brexit despite the fact it cannot exported.
Tory hardlines object to COVID vaccination certificates, but they are the ones demanding that I must have a blue not red certificate of national identity (passport) to freely travel to the UK.

The big telling moment will come this summer when restrictions are lifted on the economy and businesses are allowed to reopen.
IF at that point protests are STILL being curtailed under "Covid restrictions" as a result of the extension of the coronavirus bill…
Then there will be a real fight.
At that point "Kill The Bill" protests will merge with antilockdown protests and the violence from/on the part of the police will only increase.
The UK media have by and large FAILED to play their key role in upholding democracy.
The "media" and the "state" have ALWAYS cooperated with regards to certain narratives… ALWAYS…
But this, is different…
This is sliding inextricably toward the bottom of the shit heap.
