To knit together two stories: through intimidation, litigation & extortion, Trump is clearly trying to create a media ecosystem where nobody asks him about Epstein - or indeed anything discomfiting. It is appalling to see so many UK media individuals & institutions aiding & abetting his corruption.

In the last decade, the BBC has legitimised climate change denialism, paved the way for Brexit, defended the coup that was prorogation, over-platformed Farage's Far Right projects, and is neutral on our abandonment of human rights norms.

The BBC employ roughly twice as many people as the UK fishing industry. You'd think people would question Farage's patriotism and intentions wanting it shut down.

Nigel Farage currently railing against Parliament being full of "professional politicians".
He founded UKIP in 1993 and was first elected as an MEP in 1999, twenty-six years ago. Less than 5% of current MPs (31 to be precise) have a longer career in politics than Farage. ~AA

I remember Meera Syal saying on a tv chat show about twenty bleeding years ago about the lack of representation of poc on tv particularly in advertising. It’s taken this long to finally see a fair balance so that stupid women and others like her should just shut the fuck up.

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies?
By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

I’ve been saying this for ten years now but possibly not often enough: Ask Them What They Think The Words They’re Using Mean. And then ask them to name the ‘problematic’ people. We had ‘sovereignty’, ‘laws’ & ‘unelected bureaucrats’. The US now has ‘Antifa’, the ‘radical left’ & ‘insurrection’. Ask!

I guess Sir Keir's neat speech would have carried more weight if he hadn't spent the last twelve months legitimising Reform's poison. Chucking his conference delegates a bone while continuing to suspend refugee family reunion applications is about as convincing as his Stormzy fandom.

Can someone ask Farage or Zia Yusuf why, if they're so concerned about incitement to violence, they had Lucy Connolly as a guest star at their conference?

Amazing bit of 2019 footage this.
Frei doing a great job of trying to hold Farage to account as he and Nathan Gill go walkabout.
And I suspect Farage will come to regret his quip at the end about Russians if it does the rounds again.

Nathan’s mate Nigel sure did seem to want to brush it all away when questioned by Matt Frei back in 2019.
