It's rare that James O'Brien and Nigel Farage are in the same room.

So when the Reform UK leader was leaving the LBC studios after his phone-in with Nick Ferrari, @mrjamesob delivered a one-of-a-kind handover.

Key quote from our interview with @bellingcat's founder Eliot Higgins here 👇

[WIRED @WIRED]

As if that weren’t enough, there’s also the specter of AI: still too primitive to fool Bellingcat’s experts but increasingly good enough to fool everyone else.

[WIRED @WIRED]

Bellingcat is the world’s biggest citizen-run intelligence agency, investigating everything from the 2014 shoot-down of MH17 to the various plots to kill Russian dissident Alexei Navalny. The person behind it all? Eliot Higgins. https://t.co/Ku2Pi2cM9z

"I couldn’t help but ponder how disappointed these men would be if they could somehow see me sitting in my home office, sipping hibiscus tea as I typed out commands for them to manipulate their genitalia or deposit their semen on certain parts of my body." https://t.co/AtBXqQKbZt

"The grim truth about politics in the AI era is not that one deepfake will change the course of an election, but that the existence of sophisticated, commodified lies will unravel people’s trust in everything they see and hear" https://t.co/fNpnM5W4AY

Last December, seven chimpanzees escaped their enclosure at a zoo in Sweden. Here is my minute-by-minute Guardian Long Read about the insane 72 hours that followed https://t.co/5Kc6PVoeRV

[Nathan May @IamNathanMay]

“Most of the jungle twats, and the two perma-grinning apologist pricks who present it, do not have the ability, or the inclination, to offer even the gentlest of informed criticism of Farage’s untenable political positions and unsavoury historical associations”

Enjoyable read 👇

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

Stewart Lee ‘unfunwashing’ Farage with exactly the levels of acuity, accuracy & acerbity you’d expect.

I’m not quite sure how to explain what’s happened tonight, because it’s still happening - but here goes…

At 4:40pm I jumped on a train from London to Edinburgh..

It was comfy, it was quiet

In hindsight, too good to last…
