The news side of the BBC needs what gas engineers call "a power flush". Either that or dismantle it altogether. SOS calling Nandy ... Nandy are you listening?

BBC slammed over pushing Reform UK propaganda yet again Overly eager to air Reform's latest press conference, the BBC displayed an empty podium for the better part of an hour. What the hell was this??? www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

What is left of the BBC reputation is likely now been trashed. It is about time that a serious effort be made to sort them out. The programme side needs to be kept apart from the editorial decisions of the news element.

Eight minutes with Anna Foster and Danny Kruger on proposals to change the welfare system which can't be discussed properly because the details aren't available. Same as most party announcements. #R4Today

How many voters wanted Farage to win, even though they do not support him? They could have voted for him knowing it was going to kickstart the investigation into his finances. They wanted to make sure he won. Without knowing who voted, we will never understand.

Here's Sir John Curtice explaining on Radio 4 why the result in Clacton spells bad news for an increasingly unpopular Nigel Farage. #FarageOut

The letter he sent to residents in #Clacton is awful. He swings from talking about himself (victim) and then rants about his party/company Reform. If this is supposed to be his one shot to convince voters, the text construction is all over the place. Don't hedge fund managers write?

Sarah Murphy@13sarahmurphy.bsky.social · last wk.

He needed to save his “anti-establishment” shtick for the follow-on by-election that will happen when the investigation into his finances finds him guilty. Now he just looks like a weapons-grade idiot for using up all his howling victimhood material on his fight with a bin.

The text changes from "I" to "we" The Parliamentary records show that he has only mentioned #Clacton a handful of times since he was elected as their MP Ranting about sending messages - what about issues in Essex? The intergalactic force @countbinface.bsky.social is closer to the town than him

Latest 'letter to residents' in Clacton from Farage / Reform "I'm asking all of you to lend me your vote... "Some of you will ask why I chose to resign as your MP and ask for your vote again in this by-election. The answer is simple." (Strangely omits: "...to distract from Qs over my finances")

Election communication letter Header: I'M ASKING YOU TO LEND ME YOUR VOTE Election Communication 72/14 [partially obscured reference number] 6363238 / 05127 [recipient name and address redacted in photo] Body text: [salutation redacted] The Clacton by-election is on Thursday 13th August. It's your chance to have a say in the future. This letter isn't just for people who voted for me in 2024. In fact, it may be even more important if you didn't. Today, I'm asking all of you to lend me your vote. Not because of who I am or the party I lead, Reform UK. But because together we have a chance to send a message from Clacton that Westminster cannot ignore. Some of you will ask why I chose to resign as your MP and ask for your vote again in this by-election. The answer is simple. Since the day I was elected in Clacton, the political establishment has done everything it can to undermine me and Reform UK. They've attacked me personally, targeted my family and tried to discredit everything we stand for. But I've never believed those attacks were really just about me. They come after me because I've been prepared to stand up for communities like Clacton that Westminster has ignored. They're trying to silence millions of people who simply want to be heard. People worried about the cost of living, soaring energy bills, the way pensioners have been treated, the trouble getting a GP appointment, and the strain that record immigration has put on our communities. The establishment is desperate to stop me giving a voice to the concerns of people like you. In short, I want to stop the boats, and so they want to stop me. That is why this by-election isn't really about me. It is about whether the people of Clacton are prepared to stand together and say, with one voice: enough is enough. This is your opportunity to send a message that cannot be ignored. The Conservatives, Labour and other Westminster parties have refused to contest this election. They couldn't even be bother…

Whatever happens in Clacton tomorrow Farage is going to end up looking absolutely ridiculous He wanted to prove himself to be the hero of the hour, taking on and taking down the mythical "establishment". Instead he's going to look like an absolute clown - surrounded by clowns at a clown convention
