Over the last 36 hours, we have witnessed the very soul of Nigel Farage — his essence.

It has been over a month since he went into hiding, since serious questions began to be raised over his undeclared £5M donation.

A month since he appeared in front of TV cameras or underwent any questioning at all.

At 8am yesterday morning, Farage released a video, from a field somewhere, calling for rage. Calling for an end to the mythical two-tier policing.

Make no mistake, those were very carefully chosen words — he understood what he was unleashing, and his wish was granted last night in Southampton.

On Tuesday, the Home Secretary made a statement to the House regarding the murder of Henry Nowack. There was, as always, an opportunity to question Shabana Mahmood — was Nigel Farage in attendance?

No, of course not.

Today, Farage was granted a question at PMQs — the showpiece spectacle of the political week in which the country's news and politics fanatics tune in to watch — was Nigel Farage in attendance?

Yes, of course he was.

He had somehow found his way into work after missing 77 separate votes in Parliament because … he would, at least for three minutes, be the centre of the country's political attention.

His question was about the murder of Henry Nowack and the violence that erupted [on his command] last night, but he would not condemn it or call for calm.

Instead, he 'suggested' that this rioting might escalate.

This afternoon, he has performatively written to the BBC because someone on Newsnight dared to accuse him of inciting the violence — playing his perpetual victim card. Again.

And there we see the soul of Nigel Farage — a craven, desperate for attention, evil, petty and pointless man.

END RANT.

Britain is rejoining Erasmus+.

From 2027, thousands of students, apprentices and young people will be able to study and work across Europe, gaining international experience and new skills.

Run by the @BritishCouncil, the programme will unlock a range of opportunities for people from different backgrounds across the UK.

DeepMind stayed in London because it is better for talent than Silicon Valley.

"I saw London and the UK as having incredible talent from top universities like Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial and UCL.

There is a deep heritage of scientific breakthroughs and world-class thinkers.

There was less competition for that talent, which made it a huge structural advantage for building DeepMind." @demishassabis

The BBC should make all of the Peel Sessions available to stream on the Sounds app. They're recordings of incredible cultural significance and shouldn't be left to languish in a vault.

Interested to see who Iran choose as their next Supreme Leader. Will they choose an interim and go down the Islamic Republic Legend route? A safe pair of hands who knows the government. Or will they just wait until a World Class despot becomes available?
