I've been listening to Lisa Nandy's remarks to MPs about the BBC for the best part of an hour. She has studiously avoided mentioning Trump or his legal threat.

Gigantic SUVs are a public health threat. Why don’t we treat them like one?
The anti-smoking playbook is worth studying and learning from, and is completely applicable to oversized cars.

So many of Farage’s responses in here are vacuous, stroppy or elusive. There’s almost no policy area on which he can be pinned down. And then we get there: It’s just about the vibes. Interview with Mishal Husain via @bloomberg.com

![What happens if you are elected to government and you can’t find the savings you want? You had all kinds of tax-cutting plans, which are now having to be rethought. Is that because they were unworkable?
No, I’m not rethinking them. I suspect what we come [up with] will be a lot more radical than what you saw there.
More radical in which way? More tax cuts or more austerity?
We need an attitudinal change towards success, towards money, towards business, towards tax and incentives. This is stuff that you can’t necessarily write in a manifesto.
Well, you’re going to have to though, aren’t you?
No, you can’t. I’m talking about attitudinal change within society. You can’t put any of that in manifestos. It’s about a buzz. It’s about a vibe. It’s about how a country feels.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dfmjz7hbmjffozwtumno3xl6/bafkreibew5fzmut2rcdgmsgncwolmkrgtv5gng3uef22yvd2xyh6ctq3pq@jpeg)
