Is it just me, or is there something profoundly distasteful in the assumed coronation of Burnham?
I feel EXTREMELY uncomfortable about the whole thing.
If you have a spare 3 mins and 45 secs today, watch this fantastic grilling by Sally Nugent on BBC Breakfast.
The very first time I've seen Farage questioned properly about his ยฃ5M bung, and it's fair to say, he totally fluffed it.
There are points when you can see Farage tremble and even accuse the BBC of putting him in danger. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
It was for security. It was for cars. Nobody cares. It's no one's business. He won't tell us. DANGER!
At one point, he let slip that the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may 'disagree' with him on the rules around donations.
He knows he's going to be found guilty on this one. He's in trouble, and his face gave it away gloriously.
Top hats off to Sally Nugent. Stellar work. ๐
When a trillionaire wants a PM out, as Musk has been publicly campaigning for in the UK, greater scrutiny is needed regarding the motivations, actions, and independence of the opposition outside and inside the party.
Starmer was hated. Says far more about the electorate than the man. Impossible to govern when people want welfare, triple lock, tax loopholes, NIMBYist vetoes, while also hating the low growth, high debt economy this entails. Starmer was a good man leading an ungovernable country
@SuellaBraverman Zero mandate - ok how about
Nigel Farage - zero votes to be Party Leader
Jenrick - zero votes to represent Reform
Braverman - ie you - zero votes to represent Reform
Rosindell - zero votes to represent Reform
Kruger - zero votes to represent Reform
This is the product of Farageโs (almost) life work, for which he claims he was paid ยฃ5m by a foreign based Crypto dealer - Brexit cost our economy an absolute fortune. ยฃ180 Billion.
Thatโs almost the entire annual budget of our NHS. This is the man that would be PMโฆ..!

Russians should flee โ now. ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Germany is sending 6,000 new medium-range strike drones to Ukraine to completely cut off supplies to the Russians in Crimea.
"We did it" - Putin's envoy Kirill Dimitriev boasts about getting rid of Starmer.
There must be a full scale inquiry into Russian interference in British politics over the last twenty years, starting with Russian TV promoting Farage and Russian money flowing into the Conservative Party.
Russia is waging a hybrid war against the UK, and our governments have declined to defend us against the political wing of that attack.
London, get ready for a major upgrade. After almost 50 years, the London Museum is relocating to a spectacular new home in Smithfield - opening on 28 November.
City Hall has backed this project to give the capital the world-class space its history deserves. More galleries, more culture, more London.
Neil Kinnock has a message for our next Prime Minister,
"We after 10 years after loss and cost and decline, must make the argument, incessantly and continually, to rejoin the European Union"
"It. Is. Our. Imperative."
๐ด Unlike Brexit which delivered the exact opposite of what was promised and destroyed multiple Prime Ministersโฆ
โช๏ธ Rejoining the EU would actually deliver the growth, opportunities, security and prosperity we were sold in 2016, plus a huge popularity bonus for the leader brave enough to do it.
Double win.
