Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

That the labour party see anything Zach Polanski is doing as a "threat" rather than the ideal ally in a desperately difficult time for the UK is pretty much everything wrong with them. Labour dropped* the torch of representing the people, Greens picked it up.

I used to say this trial was a waste of taxpayer dollars, but I think it’s totally worth it.
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

The BBC is already a Farage propaganda machine. It is entirely the fault of the BBC that he has the profile that he now does. More appearances than any other UK politician on Question Time, even when he was just a nobody MEP with a big mouth.

I keep seeing/hearing versions of the claim that immigration is now in the top three issues for Scots (that specifically from The Scotsman's politics podcast).
The most recent Scottish issue polling was done in the summer, by Ipsos, and immigration wasn't in the top ten.

Sterling at weakest in months versus dollar, lowest in years against euro
The pound hit its weakest in nearly three months against the dollar and in more than two years versus the euro on Wednesday as rising expectations for a rate cut from the Bank of England by year-end pushed the currency through closely watched levels.
