Some of the people in this article have shared their recollections with me before - but on condition of anonymity. Coming forward now is an act of patriotism. Farage’s claim that it never happened is the opposite.

Many thanks to JCB’s Lord Bamford for donating £200,000 to Reform. HMRC seem to think he owes them up to £500m from money hidden in offshore accounts, but why pay tax when you can give it to a bunch of racists instead?

Talk TV confirm that they have sacked renowned concrete grower, Mike Graham. Seems unfair to sack him for being a racist dick when that was basically his job description.

“The UK has a system in which a TV channel can pay a political leader almost half a million pounds a year and give him an hour an evening to react to his rivals without breaking a single rule.”
You might think controlling GB News gives you huge influence over UK politics – especially on the right. But that's just the tip of the iceberg, as we reveal in this week's issue of @thenewworldmag.bsky.social

@mrjamesob.bsky.social listening to you right now. Bang on about Badenoch and Daily Mail column / access. PS - ard you aware, your employer has just given her a "monthly phone in" platform with failed Tory candidate Ian Dale? Seems fair and balanced. I assume the PM will get the same offer?
