Talk about bending over backwards for Farage

First off Bruce questioned whether Farage had ever filmed a video saying up the IRA for £85 - a fact which should be well known to any political journalist

Then she was told in her ear he had

And subsequently she put out the Farage line he had been tricked

When the questioner was making the point about whether a man ( who accepted a secret gift of £5m from a crypto billionaire) could be trusted if he would say Up the IRA for £85…

The point is about judgement, integrity and trustworthiness

Farage demonstrated a lack of discriminating judgement. If he would do that in pursuit of £85 what would he say and do for £5m ? It’s a fair question

BBC displaying no backbone and letting Farage dictate the agenda . Again

Gent in pink slams Reform UK's Robert Kenyon,

"As a community we want a normal person, a real person stepping in and taking charge to make sure that people of our constituency can get ahead in life the best they can"

"I would rather have a community made up of diversity, of women, of LGBT people, of young people, of people with disabilities"

"Than someone like yourself who is sexist"

"And has shown on more than one occassion an opposition to diversity"

"Just as your party Reform UK does"

Breaking: Keir Starmer accuses JD Vance of interfering in British democracy and attempting to stir up unrest on British streets

This is the strongest condemnation yet by Starmer of the Trump administration

Number 10 says:

“In recent days we have seen people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division on our streets.

“The Nowak family are grieving after Henry’s horrific murder. They have said they do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension. We should be respecting their wishes.

“Our politics should bring people together even in the most terrible of circumstances. That is who we are as a country.”

I’m not sure what the bigger disgrace is, the Vice President of the United States’ ignorant, anti-British bigotry or the journalists of my generation quite happy to encourage him.
