Dominic Cummings, in an earlier incarnation, ran a secretly-funded 'think tank' dedicated to attacking the Beeb while Robbie Gibb glided effortlessly from GBNews to the BBC & started lecturing staff on impartiality. Imagine (cos you'll have to) how the 'left-wing' equivalent would be reported.

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

Should really say "Farage plans to tear up the Brexit deal he supported" since it would requiring reneging on the Withdrawal Agreement (most "foreign nationals" claiming benefits are EU citizens with settled status)

Why has NOBODY in UK Politics got the balls to call Farage out fully on his entire agenda?
He fought for Brexit ( To keep his and others' money away from EU scrutiny)
He fought to remove all agreements with the EU re: removal and return.
He then blames the sitting Government for the boats HE caused.

How interesting is it that Tories are urging councils to bring High Court proceedings to ban local migrant hotels, brought into existence by a 10-year contract with Conservative-linked groups like Serco and Clearspring, signed by Boris Johnson's "government" in 2019?
The contracts end in 2029.
