It absolutely DOES matter. There's a direct link from 'gas em all' to the 'breaking point' poster and his links with fascists in Europe and the US. He's not sorry. He has never reformed his views. That's clear from his prevarications.
His fans love it because racism is their fuel, too.

If he were confident that all his fans love it and that there are enough of them, he wouldn’t be tying himself in knots trying to deflect.

It's also untrue. Maybe half his fans are blind to it. A lot of the people considering voting for him are doing so as a roll of the dice, seeing him as a blank canvas. Their views of him can be changed.

All the supposedly progressive people saying 'Nigel Farage's racism doesn't matter. His fans love it'.
It matters whether the leader of the party leading all the opinion polls is an outright racist. It matters if he called black people 'wogs' and said 'gas them' to Jews. Not everything is a game

I guess it’s a compliment that the top story on BBC London’s TV/online output today is a direct lift of a month-old London Centric story? But once again the BBC is consistently the worst news outlet for actually remembering to credit others.

Letting Reform in when a different direction was possible but deliberately ignored is a sin 1000x worse than student fees were for the LibDems. Voters will never forgive it.

There is NO way around the massive Iceberg that is Brexit, except to approach the EU & begin formal meetings to rejoin the EU.
Brexit has literally broken Britain.
Until they accept that fact, anything they or any other party says is utter bullshit.

In my view the word 'impartial' is a major cause of the BBC's problems.
It is defined as one of the most important words in the charter and is clearly front and centre in the mind of the BBC Chair.
Yet the BBC managed well without the word for decades.
It must be removed in the new charter.

Politicians in other parties won’t talk about it, but we had a more workable immigration system when we were in the EU. Labour finally admitted Brexit has been a disaster for the economy, so I asked the Home Secretary if she would admit it had been a disaster for immigration & asylum policy too.

Just to say, please don’t be fooled by the Online Safety Act in relation to this. It will do nothing but make most of this worse.
None of the talk about how harmful social media is for kids balances that with a discussion of how useful and beneficial it is for them. It helps with loneliness, is a source of friendship and of information, and helps them find solace when their ‘offline’ lives are harmful or miserable. 1/4

Brexit has made the UK economy 6%–8% smaller than it would have been if we had stayed in the EU. That is £165bn-£225bn a year, meaning a loss to the government budget of around £65bn to £90bn a year.
Imagine what Reeves could do with that kind of money.
