The leader of the Lib Dems, and the leader and deputy leader of the Green party, think some women have penises. In itself, it seems like a relatively unimportant matter. But it is symptomatic of a contempt for science and evidence-based truth. Could you vote for a flat-Earther?

Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house. Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it. Leave him to me.

Piddington, a village of around 350 residents where 63% are women and children is set to see 1,250 male migrants house nearby Piddington is a Lib Dem represented area at both parliamentary and council levels. Lib Dems are supportive of open migration You get what you vote for.

The government seems to believe that putting thousands of illegal migrants on 'former army bases' will somehow be better than housing them in hotels or HMOs. Never mind that these men aren't being detained, and can wander at will into nearby towns and villages, Burnham wants every part of the country to play its part. The only silver lining to all of this is that these policies will be disastrous for Labour. Bringing vast numbers of asylum seekers to parts of rural England which have previously been untouched by mass migration is going to prove deeply unpopular (and indeed, even the local Lib Dems in Piddington are opposing asylum seekers being housed there). ✍️ David Shipley Article | | @ShipleyWrites
