Is Nigel Farage exploiting Henry Nowak’s murder?

6/5/202657 min

"Pure cold rage": Will Nigel Farage regret his intervention over the murder of Henry Nowak?

Beth, Ruth and Harriet discuss whether Farage is pandering to the far right, or if he has a point about "two-tier policing" in Britain.

And, as Nicola Sturgeon attempts to distance herself from her estranged husband Peter Murrell – Ruth asks if her legacy is now forever tarnished.

For a full list of candidates standing in Makerfield, visit the Electoral Commission website.

And if you didn't know, you can also watch Beth, Ruth, and Harriet on YouTube.
