Nowhere near as interesting as I like to think I am. London born and bred, still endlessly obsessed with my city. Love: human rights and equality. Plus theatre, books, tv, film, art, food. Hate: Bigotry, fascism, conspiracy theories, fake news and beetroot

Given a) Farage's past; b) the expanding story about Russia and former MEPs; and c) media enthusiasm for "what influence is being bought?" questions, if anyone to left of Mussolini is gifted so much as a cup of sugar, why is Reform facing no such questions about Friday's £9m crypto-bro donation?~AA

I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

We could have wind in the UK, we are the windiest place on the planet, and if we simply quadrupled the number of Wind Turbines we have we could supply more than 100% of our electricity nearly 80% of the time.

The entire rhetoric on Charlie Kirk has been set by Donald Trump's completely unfounded claim that this was the 'radical left'.
So we have anyone and everyone talking as if this was a political assassination from the Left, and people don't even realize they are doing it.

Last year Nigel Farage announced he had bought a house in Clacton, Essex, but in fact it was his partner Laure Ferrari, 46, who shelled out almost £900,000 for the property

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.
Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.
That, right there, is the problem.

He’s always so shit in the face of decent questioning. Absolutely amazing how rarely it happens.
Democrat @raskin.house.gov excoriates Nigel Farage for banning journalists from Reform UK events:
"I'm asking you a direct question. Why do you ban journalists who oppose your views from coming to your events? Why did you tell local government not to do interviews with your local newspaper?"
