The government must remove Robbie Gibb from the BBC board immediately – and end the practice of political appointments, which so badly undermines the BBC, altogether.

Everything he's reported to have said in this BBC piece sounds like he's desperately trying to distance himself, knowing that the connection is real and toxic. If the press were investigating Farage with the same enthusiasm they went for Rayner, he'd be done for.

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.

Mother’s Day is a day where the Dads give the Mums the special treatment: flowers, cards, breakfast in bed, cook a roast, we take kids out, give mum time to relax;
Laurence Fox doesn’t need to do any of that because his wife & kids left.
So instead he’s spending it raging about “Eid Mubarak”.

Trump just alleged without evidence Ukraine should hold elections because Zelensky holds a "4% approval rating”
Recent polling from Kyiv International Institute of Sociology shows as of December 2024, 52% of Ukrainians trust Zelensky
I’m sure UK News shows will be all over this in the morning
