The BBC being called out by viewers for their gleeful reporting of the Keir Starmer resignation, and their influence in hounding him out of office
Chris Mason, one of the main culprits, says this is an 'offensive' suggestion
Ok mate 😂

@WidnesRL Fantastic News. Taking a look around at the state of Rugby League, there is so much about this/my Club to get behind. You are very welcome on board Brad, J
This is powerful!!
The video strikingly illustrates the game of misinformation that’s being played by Nigel Farage & others. It shows who’s actually benefiting from it.
Absolutely worth watching!

Chatting to a friend yesterday about the whole Farage/Reform situation, I ended up in a bit of a rant!
It gave me pause for thought … he's untouchable, isn't he?
So many of us, over the last two years, have unearthed myriad stories that would have ended any other politician's career. But not our Nige.
The donors, the undeclared expenses, the £5M 'bribe', an actual Russian asset, the racism, the Epstein links, the tax affairs, the transformation into the Tories 2.0. I could go on, but you see what I'm getting at.
Nothing touches Nigel Farage.
Whatever we turn up, it only emboldens his fan base further; they love the fact that he's a crook and just keeps getting away with it. Why?
Because they don't have any interest in politics. All they care about is the cult of personality.
So perhaps we're going about this all wrong. Whenever we find more shady goings-on, more corruption, we're met with the same repeated mantra:
“Don't care, still voting Reform”.
[I added the punctuation. That doesn't usually feature.]
Nigel Farage is just Boris Johnson with fewer children — a bloviating, manufactured, owned, puppet in a suit. There is very little substance to either man, save for the desire to enrich their own lives.
Both men making hay from the wreckage of Brexit, and both entirely uninterested in actually governing a country.
So perhaps that's our angle; if we keep pointing out that these two politicians share identical traits, it could dwindle support for the current delegate.
Johnson, like a grotesque version of the picture of Dorian Gray, looming across Farage's political future.
Maybe not … but I'm of the opinion now that, short of a prison sentence, there is no scandal Farage cannot style out — with the aid of his bought and paid for media chums, of course.
He accepted an undeclared £5M 'gift' from his sugar daddy and then told the BBC 'nothing to see here'. The BBC just nodded politely and forgot to look any further.
So let's change the narrative. The comparisons are there, and the Reform UK base do not like it one bit.
Everything rotten in Britain stems from this period. Everything.
Landlord rents. Shit in the rivers. Zero work hours. No British industry. Gas, electric bills through the roof,
No affordable housing.
All of it.
