A short survey, well worth completing if you object to the thought of Musk, or any other billionaire, funding Farage for his own ends.

If passed Lord Woodley’s Bill will end one of the most shocking & monumental injustices of the past half century - the #IPPscandal & head off the medium-term prison capacity crisis at the same time.

Let’s not wait for the next ITV drama to do what’s right

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss.
She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’
Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️
