I suspect Jenrick's read this. The idea that Farage, *any* Tory who backed Brexit/Johnson/Truss or the media that cheered it all on can somehow disassociate themselves from the messes they made is palpably nuts...
So in Brexit Britain it will almost certainly happen.

Who funds the Free Speech Union?
Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

I wonder what any of you would do differently in your lives if I said "yes, America is at this moment a fascist nation."
Because I tell ya what, if I thought so, I'd be doing things differently. For starters, I wouldn't bother worrying about elections or candidates or whom to support. /1

JD Vance On Europe: “They always appeal to the past: we fought together in World War II, we fought together in the war on terror. We’re grateful for that and glad to have such allies. But just because you did something smart 25 years ago doesn’t mean you can’t do something stupid now.”

They've got this badly wrong. Mostly as an ethical matter, but also as a political one.
Keir Starmer's spokesman tells me that X and Grok's creation of sexual deepfakes of children is "completely unacceptable" but again won't commit to taking direct action against them, or to stop posting there.

If you missed this question to Nigel Farage from The Critic's Rob Hutton – and it was over an hour into the press conference – then it was a particularly good one. The answer was... vague.
