www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cq... For the avoidance of doubt, diesel prices are high because of supply restrictions put in by President Trump whose big supporter is Nigel Farage.
Very interesting post on migrants in northern France and their desperation to reach the UK. The question of “why?” still remains, though.
In the north of France, #Calais was once home to thousands of people, all here with one dream: to cross the Channel and reach the UK. In 2016, French police dismantled the so-called "Jungle camp". Our journalists went there for #Revisited ➡️ https://go.france24.com/6now

We will come to regret being weak against these people for a very long time
2) and 3) are intimately linked, in that the BBC (the organisation that really matters in the modern environment) treats 'claims by rival parties' as the operating frame for how it covers everything. The failure from Labour and the Conservatives to say 'this stuff is bad' is really, really bad.

This is serious. If Reform blatantly, intentionally and knowingly broke election law, they should be held fully accountable. Liberal Democrats have asked the Police and the Electoral Commission to investigate.
Undercover footage verified by Channel 4 News reveals a secret plot by senior Reform UK figures to break the law on party donations. A leading legal expert is now calling for a criminal investigation. 🔗 Read the exclusive story on Substack:

🔴 NEW - Farage claims he didn’t have to register the gifts from Harborne and Cottrell because, before June 2024, he was an “influencer and broadcaster” not a politician. Yet that claim is disproven by Farage’s own parliamentary filings…

app.independent.co.uk/edition/uk.c... Excellent editorial in today’s Independent. Hereon the nature of the UK-EU debate should be on a reset to our relationship and not “Rejoin”. We’ve lost our former benefits and could never get them back but a long term strategy is needed.

Nigel Farage is conducting a culture war over Henry Nowak’s grave
app.independent.co.uk/edition/uk.c... Timely remarks by the EU rep who clearly indicates that accession to the bloc may be easier than some of us previously feared.

Whether you’re a Monarchist, republican or (like me) a Just-leave-things-alone-ist this is soft power in action. We rarely give credit for its virtues or values but having a head of state who can eloquently articulate the world as it is to politicians, is an art form and should be appreciated.

Yes.. and I’m not a Labour voter. KS needs time and support from both the Labour Party and the PLP to continue bringing this country back from the brink that they inherited from the Tories.
It looks like attempts to shore up Keir Starmer ahead of privileges vote - with ring round, big beasts rolled out & PM at PLP - have worked. Most Labour MPs convinced that May elections & Iran conflict, mean not time to succumb to Tory political stunt. Whips imposed three line whip just in case.

Welcome to Farage-land, where it's not okay for Muslims to vote in elections, but it's okay for Reform to have overseas members and foreign billionaire backers...
