SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

🎯 Davey is spot on. "We can have criticism of the BBC, but within that, we need to recognise how valuable an institution it is [and how] precious to our country. And that's one of the reasons why people like President Trump and Nigel Farage, want to undermine the BBC." 👏🏽~AA

Mhari Aurora asks a pretty fair question, is booed by the crowd and told off by Dear Leader. Then Noa Hoffman, lobs a dogwhistle soft ball about making "our high streets beautiful again", not "covered in illegal migrant vape shops," to great applause.

Farage accuses the BBC of bias on Europe, immigration, the environment, Gaza, and Trump - to a hall of toadies roaring their approval.
And in the blink of an eye, turns to his actual employer "a much perkier GB News," then remembers "although I have to declare an interest." ~AA

Last night, Dick Tice launched Students4Reform (See what they did there, the scamps? They replaced "for" WITH THE NUMBER).
It will be led by Matt Goodwin, a man in his mid-forties, and it looked exactly like you imagine. ~AA

First the likes of Farage said we needed to leave the EU. Now they’re coming for the ECHR.

Nigel Farage's hypocrisy exposed during PMQs. 🚨
Farage has earned more than £1.1 million through second jobs since the General Election, but he calls for cuts to the minimum wage for young people.
Unbelievable.
