Nigel Farage thinks Britain isn't productive because nobody goes into the office anymore.

Which will come as a blow to one particular MP ... called Nigel Farage.

Straight out of the Trump handbook.

Reform UK is threatening to defund a Welsh university simply because a debating society turned them down.

This is a watershed moment. This is Reform taking directly from the Trump playbook. I'm pro-democracy and anyone has a right to vote for what they want but I don't believe Reform voters really want this. This should be a warning to Welsh voters...
The law on universities and free speech prevents speakers from being *disinvited after they have been invited*. It does not require universities to provide a platform to whoever demands one.

Let's not mince words: the threat to cut funding to every university who disagrees with them is fascist.
This is pretty menacing.

Sarah Pochin wrote to Bangor's university student run debating society requesting that she attend to "answer questions from students."

When they said "no" Reform rolled all it's tanks onto the lawns and said they'll cut funding to the entire university if they win.
