This front cover reveals the hysterical nature of pro-Farage media & Farage & Reform's contempt for the UK & British democracy. Farage is proposing to strip hundreds of thousands of people living in the UK of their right to vote. Including Irish nationals & Commonwealth citizens. pic.twitter.com/M8nv5L95uA

My father was foreign born. He didn’t ask to be brought to this country. He served in the RAF and did all manner of terrible menial jobs before retraining as a photographer. He worked like a dog his whole life and paid taxes
Fuck Farage and Fuck Reform pic.twitter.com/DnmMTtiw48

In more than 50 years in journalism, I've rately seen a splash headline so deeply dangerous and racist. Not only is it unmistakably fascist, it's blatantly untrue. Whoever dictated this headline with its tortuous strapline should be ashamed.

Whether there were voting irregularities remains to be seen, after a proper investigation, but people might have expected a slightly more pressing news story to have grabbed the main spot.
Quite astonishing that The Mail prioritised Farage whinging over how people from the same family might have voted for the same candidate over the huge crisis in Iran. Where exactly do their priorities lie? https://t.co/ZouXug5Mgw
