Ignore all those "Slow Horses team does it again" and "Spy series back on peak form" reviews. The only accurate summation is by Hannah J Davies in The Guardian. It's a really good review. Maybe they should give her the permanent gig. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Nigel Farage spent 27yrs promising Brexit would make British people richer.
Now both Nigel Farage & Reform Party officials say Brexit, their main policy, is making Brits poorer.

We’re out and about across the UK today to tell MPs and constituents that our country is missing out on £460m a week without a wealth tax.
Rachel Reeves doesn’t need to make cuts, instead she can tax the richest people like us to build a better Britain.
