Some of the people in this article have shared their recollections with me before - but on condition of anonymity. Coming forward now is an act of patriotism. Farage’s claim that it never happened is the opposite.

Perhaps Chris Mason can offer an explanation to this.
For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

Fantastic graphic from the WSJ. Trump just increased the price of a iPhone by nearly 60 percent. Obviously completely unsustainable so won’t be sustained. An American Liz Truss moment

So we’ll cover training costs and make it easier to work anywhere in Canada.

“Show me the incentives, I’ll show you the outcome.”
This is the intersection of influencer culture and politics. Politicians - even cabinet secretaries - believe that their job is to perform for social media. Getting attention is now their main skill, and why they are selected for their roles.

How a false Net Zero claim became ‘news’
…a tweet by Reform MP and GB News presenter Richard Tice caught my eye. He was claiming that Net Zero was the cause of the Heathrow shutdown, and that the issue was a “refusal to have diesel generators”.
