It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform.
The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.

Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.

Reform UK Party Ltd spent £700,000 on a 2-page spread — one page being just an image of Farage and the other a letter, meaning he spent £350,000 on pictures of himself.
The average UK house price is £272,000.
Also, the ‘full English’ is badly photoshopped on — it's tiny!

What does Sultana even mean by this? Is she just doing word salad? If you’ve nationalised the whole economy, tax is basically an irrelevance at that point. A wealth tax *especially* so. This…doesn’t even mean anything. It’s not even wrong.

It's such a bizarre framing. Labour MPs think taking 450k kids out of poverty is putting the country first! That's why they wanted it to happen! It's not because they personally benefit.
Headline on The World at One just now:
"Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap".
Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?

This is very true and it affects authors too, because you know that every sentence you write could be taken apart aggressively and in bad faith.
Our information space is dominated by a system that demands and rewards continous and immediate emotional gratification, so you can't even begin to have a discussion about complex issues. It's a bright cancer that spreads and multiplies with every interaction.
It's part of the electionification of everything, which is why we as a country are failing to have a proper conversation about our actual problems. It's bad for the left *and* the right.
