Nigel Farage jokes about “banter” and allegations of his racist or antisemitic behaviour at school around 40 years ago. Thirty-four former schoolmates have made such allegations; Farage denies the claims. The audience at Reform UK’s Christmas party laughs along. Why isn't the BBC playing this?

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

Simple answer - the majority right wing media not only let's him get away with it but continues to promote him... while many in Labour - for the most part - arw too timid to call him and his disgrace of a party out. Burnham has it in him. Needs to take the fight to Reform

How is Farage not entirely finished as a politician? He survives party gaffe after gaffe with ever thicker layers of gaslighting time & time again. Will the news media never give up this golden goose & consign his career, once and for always? #ArrestFarage #FarageRiots

Allowing this dead-company-walking to be bailed out again, instead of taking it into Special Administration and then permanent public ownership, would be a disgrace and a betrayal by the Andy Burnham government Enough is enough.

Why is a retired banjo playing, public school nepo-baby on the BBC's flagship Newsnight commenting on the Red Wall? And why no mention that: Winston Marshall only has a political platform because his Dad is billionaire Paul Marshall... owner of GB NEWS and the Spectator.

The "red wall" is not a term you hear often these days

In 2016 Nigel Farage said that leaving the EU would mean fewer (white) migrants from the European Union. Suggesting we would have more (black and brown) migrants from Commonwealth/other countries. So when Brexiters are upset at the migration mix, not only were the told this, but they voted for it.

This is quite extraordinary. I don't think I have heard a more coherent, articulate and accurate deconstruction & demolition of Nigel Farage's ReformUK, Tory & Restore policy than this. In under 85 seconds! @rafaelbehr.bsky.social is on here folks and worth a follow.

Well said Burnham. This is how we should expose the conman, the liar and the wrecker. He doesn't love this country and even the out of touch cultists who support him, he loves himself and the very rich who fill his pockets. Let's keep exposing him. #ExposeFarage #GetFarageOut

A member of his party’s in jail for taking money from Russia to interfere in UK democracy so he knows damn well it’s plausible. Yet there’s no curiosity, no “I’d like to see the evidence”…just the flat out denial of a man who loves his country so much he doesn’t care if our democracy is compromised.

“If they don’t attack us—kill our children, we won’t attack their diesel.” - Volodymr Zelenskyy The leader of a democratic nation shouldn’t have to beg America to not fund the war killing its children. The time is long past to choose good over evil. We should be ashamed of our leaders.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Zelenskyy: "If President Trump really wants to have elections, tell Putin give us two months, 60 days of total ceasefire -- 60 days -- and we will organize elections. Of course, we will be ready for any choice of our people."

French Finance Minister Roland Lescure on the UK rejoining the European Union tells the BBC, "Come back. Anytime" My view: Across Europe, the message to Britain is increasingly simple: come back. We are stronger working with our closest neighbours — economically and in our shared defence.
