Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Nigel Farage currently railing against Parliament being full of "professional politicians".
He founded UKIP in 1993 and was first elected as an MEP in 1999, twenty-six years ago. Less than 5% of current MPs (31 to be precise) have a longer career in politics than Farage. ~AA

I’m a broken record on this, but — there are so many examples of famous people radicalised by midlife career/personal knockbacks. Ant Middleton was on yday’s march. He got done for tax offences and lost his TV work. Now he’s mates with Tommy Robinson.

Will nobody think of the <checks notes> multimillionaire TV personalities?
A reported £1.1m every year, from license fee payers. But why not tell the Telegraph "over lunch in Soho" that you resent paying your tax? What could go wrong. 👀~AA

President Macron humiliated Donald Trump on live television. He shut him up and fact checked him mid sentence.

Concerning for Wales as Reform are projected to get many seats under the new electoral system in the @senedd.wales. Is this the calibre of politician we’re expected to put up with?
Wow.
"The former leader of Reform UK in Wales has appeared in court accused of accepting bribes in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament that would benefit Russia, a court has heard."
