In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

On Chris Mason, the new enthusiastic Farage fanboy.
It’s absolutely irresponsible how the BBC has let him report on that party conference.
And let me repeat : The BBC is an important institution and they are getting a lot right, as well.
But here they haven’t.

Sometimes politics is simple. A man who speaks like an idiot will do idiotic things. That's really the sum total of the political analysis you need to understand what's happening today. But political commentators and investment advisers sought to make it more complicated.
