I endured an English public school. But that’s not the only reason I’m unsurprised about the Farage allegations |
Let’s put aside the schooldays accusations and look, instead, at the Reform leader’s path since then. I think a pretty clear picture of the man emerges, says author and podcaster Musa Okwonga

If people become insecure, we find they’re three times more likely to desert Labour than if they become more concerned about immigration. Around one-third of Britons felt economically insecure as of April 2025.
Focusing on immigration is a ‘red herring’ when financial security is so foundational.

Israel has violated the U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire nearly 500 times in 44 days—killing 342 civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.
That's more than 11 violations every single day.
The genocide never stopped. Palestinians are still being killed.

Tonight's deep thought. When Harry Met Sally, classic romcom. But look at Billy Crystal's eyes - they're dead. There's zero chemistry between him and Meg Ryan. Weird in a romcom. Sorry for ruining the movie for you all.

It can’t make any sense to tax electric car drivers for not burning fossil fuels while allowing people that fly to pay no tax for burning fossil fuels. The answer is simple, extend the charging per mile to the airline industry. Fair, climate effective and tax raising - all at the same time.
