@newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer Yes it did. @BBCNews has behaved disgracefully for some time. They think scrutiny of Govt means constant criticism, whilst giving Nigel Farage a free pass by reporting what he says without challenge of any facts. Our national broadcaster has become a real threat to UK democracy!

The map of Reform Councils in the UK. So much for 'WE'VE TAKEN OVER THE NATION !!!"

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

RT if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

The Welsh Government has just announced Christina Harrhy will be the new head of the Disused Tips Authority for Wales.

Haven’t heard of her? She used to be the chief executive of Caerphilly Council.

When she left the council she was given a £209,000 settlement after previously being absent for almost a year…

The absence was initially through sickness for 2 months but she was off for 9 months more despite being deemed fit to work after raising concerns relating to former council leader Sean Morgan and a senior officer.

A majority of councillors present at a meeting at the time voted in favour of the £209,000 settlement rather than pursue a lengthy and potentially costlier formal investigation or arbitration process.

It does seem bizarre that the taxpayer has paid a woman £200k to leave her job for which she was absent for 9 months (while able to work) only for her to be given another very well-paid role at the taxpayers’ expense.

I don’t know Ms Harrhy or have knowledge of her competency levels. Perhaps she is fantastic. The Welsh Gov say her appointment was following a rigorous and highly competitive appointment process

But the ability of some figures to bounce around well-paid public sector jobs doesn’t always strike me as a robust system open to new ideas and change.

The govt's Student Loan Plan 2 repayment freeze in April 2027 must be reversed. It isn't moral.

I'm concerned that my debate with Kemi Badenoch this morning distracts from the most immediate problem. In April 2027 Rachel Reeves will freeze the Plan 2 student loan threshold until 2030 which by then will increase graduate repayments by £300/yr more.

This is effectively a unilateral negative breach of the student loan contract. Students were told the threshold would rise with average earnings. No commercial lender would be allowed to do this. The govt shouldn't do it either.

Changing the terms of future students loans is a political decision - people may not like it but it is transparent. Negatively changing the terms of contracts already signed, and long in place, is a breach of natural justice.

Nigel Farage and the Russian Spy Nathan Gill

Nigel Farage and his anti-semitism and racism
