A shamefully valid exercise.

Henry Riley takes @mrjamesob.bsky.social through five poorly covered stories concerning Nigel Farage's Reform which the media would already have highlighted if it applied the same level of scrutiny to Farage’s party as it does to Labour.

A free press shouldn't mean a free pass to abuse ordinary people.

It’s time for independent regulation that holds power to account.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

No MP should be earning £380,000 on top of their parliamentary salary.

Farage manages it because he's turned "politainment" into a viable career. Like his US counterparts he's discovered that being a disruptor can make you very wealthy indeed.

Let's not blow this out of proportion. It was just an admin error. Two admin errors. A few admin errors. Seventeen admin errors worth £380,000.
… including payments for promoting gold, presenting on GB News and from his friend George Cottrell, within 28 days.

Reform UK leader apologised for what he described as administrative errors by his team.

'Reformed' meat is a processed meat product, made by binding together trimmings, scraps and oddments of dubious provenance. Since it is mostly composed of unidentifiable offcuts of, for the most part, the Tory Party, presumably this is why Nigel Farage's latest political vehicle is called Reform UK.
