In the early 1960s a senior Conservative minister, John Profumo, resigned and inflicted perhaps decisive damage to the electoral prospects of his party for a decade ….. for far less than this
In Britain, a former far-right Reform party politician has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian viewpoints.
Another scandal that should be the end of Reform but will be ignored unless we make a lot of noise about it.

Complained to #BBC about the disproportionately prominent & favourable coverage of Farage/Reform especially #BBCnews website - including no mention of Farage's disgraceful appearance before US Congress - & its dubious published response to such complaints and received the same response. Hopeless!

Farage is a legend in his own lunchtime and in others' who steal other kids' lunches.
#Farage is going to regret his trip to the USA.
He's being taken apart, surgically, with facts, data-backed arguments and counterpoints, by multiple Congress representatives, one after the other.
He's being made a fool of. On live TV.

The #BBC news website is “bigging up” Reform again today with Chris Mason banging on about Jake Berry’s frankly unsurprising defection to Reform. No mention that 2 of their 5 MPs are suspended or numerous councillors have resigned. BBC’s bias towards Reform is excruciating & disturbing.

Where is the moral panic?
Where are @lisanandy and @Keir_Starmer?
Or are we saying Rod Liddle can use his national platform to call for state violence and it’s fine
But if Bob Vylan chants about actual state violence it’s “incitement”?
At least try to be consistent.

This should be attracting more coverage. Ministers knew Brexit would lead to increased numbers of asylum seekers in the UK & hadn't even considered this risk of until just before we left the EU. So Brexit caused the issue Brexiteers are now most angry about.
