Great point. So don’t trust the media narrative
Fifty-three percent, an absolute majority, regard Nigel Farage "very unfavourably". He is the most disliked politician in the UK.
And yet he dominates the media agenda.

The UK economy is the sixth largest in the world.
But this means nothing to most of us because the UK is also the ninth most unequal country (out of 38 OECD countries).

Reform UK say they will not be commenting any more on the claims of racism against Nigel Farage when he was younger. Danny Kruger, who was hosting a press conference on their proposed changes to the civil service, told me: "We have nothing more to say on those allegations."

Have the BBC commented on the Ince business? Can't see anything. Would love to understand *exactly* which of his personal views they deemed incompatible with BBC standards. Or indeed with the Reform voters they're skewing towards, who will abolish the BBC anyway if they get in. Fucktastrophe, again.

Labour were elected with a stonking majority by default as the Tories collapsed. They've then completely squandered that by alienating all their natural voters, doubling down on right-wing culture wars & direction, loudly proclaiming that nothing about the system can improve. Truly contemptible.
