Farage will claim Widdicombe’s death proves he needs security. But the issue is he hid the £5m. Lied about being offered security. Accused the Parliamentary Standards Committee of conspiring against him to evict him. Those are his crimes. Lying. Failure to disclose. False cheating allegations!

The National Crime Agency have been "unable to identify the original source" of a £1m donation to a Reform fundraising vehicle. The NCA is now "seeking help from a foreign partner" in order to identify it www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Millions of pounds and many, many questions: the untold story of why Reform figures face NCA scrutiny

So I'm told a crowd of about 100 people turned up in Wimborne to protest against Katie Hopkins appearing there. Really impressive demo for such a small town showing the strength of feeling. Well done Wimborne.

If someone offered you 3 times your salary to promote their product and you didn’t even need to give up your current job…..which work do you think you’d prioritise? Nigel Farage earns £93k as an MP and £270k promoting good bullion. (Oh and £18k a month from GB news vs £7.75 a month MP salary)

Djed Spence, the first Muslim man to play football for England, refused to shake hands with alleged rapist Thomas Partey last night. Nigel Farage, self-appointed saviour of ‘Judeo-Christian values’, described alleged rapist Andrew Tate as ‘an important voice’ for men young men a couple of years ago.

“Paul Johnson & Robert Johnson cite studies suggesting that primarily due to uncertainty and new trade barriers with its main trading partner, Britain’s GDP is now 6% to 8% lower than it otherwise would be, investment 12% to 18% lower & productivity 3% to 4% lower.” www.ft.com/content/e842...

A decade after the referendum, Anthony Seldon’s anthology finds Britain still trapped between the promises and impact of splitting from the EU

Why is The World At One reading out Rupert Lowe's posts on the Northern Ireland attack, at the start of the bulletin? He leads a party that is polling at about 3%. This is not about "censorship": it's about the choices media outlets make concerning which voices to amplify.

A reminder that not only does Nigel Farage have a history of backing losers but Reform UK's major policy of yet more privatisation is hugely unpopular memes via Christopher Warner & We Own It

This looks like bullshit stenography to me. Glen Owen also ‘reported’ Farage’s lies about French police & a monoglot mechanic ‘telling him’ his car had been ‘tampered with’ in an ‘assassination attempt’ when he was trying to distract attention from something else. Also, Putin *wants* him to be PM!

Mail on Sunday unquestioningly reporting Nigel Farage’s claim that his phone was hacked by Russian agents. Just as they did his lies about French police telling him he’d been the victim of an assassination attempt. It’s even written by the same journalist.

Not to excuse this, & it’s a while since I presented anything on the BBC, but I do recall noting an almost subconscious desire to disprove bogus allegations of bias by being particularly tough on Labour & Lib Dems (Ed Davey once complained!) This is another victory for right wing media gaslighting.

😡😡😡😡 Now you see how the Nazis managed to do what they did. The fact that anybody could ‘announce’ this, publically, and millions will be greeting it with glee, says how low this country has sunk! Yeah right not YOU! But here it is. And after the Reform concentration/ICE camps - who will be ‘next’?
