Nigel Farage is claiming to Congress that the UK gov deliberately withheld details of the Southport attacker from the public.
This is dangerous and it’s false. The attacker was under 18, and so a court had to give express permission to release his name in exceptional circumstances, which it did.

Democrat @raskin.house.gov excoriates Nigel Farage for banning journalists from Reform UK events:
"I'm asking you a direct question. Why do you ban journalists who oppose your views from coming to your events? Why did you tell local government not to do interviews with your local newspaper?"

The approach is again to list dozens of locations as "nationwide protests": 13 locations last night, 30 today/tomorrow.
Some struggle to attract 25 people (Rhoose airport, Wolverhampton).
Most get 40-100 people.
A handful (about 1 in 10) get 200-300 people, usually due to a local context

3 years ago, I had a patron come to the library and tell me they wanted to get into reading and didn’t know where to start.
We talked for a bit, figured what he liked, then found a few titles.
Now every summer he comes back and we find him a ton of books.
It’s a wonderful ritual :)
