Why the BBC handing Reform hours upon hours of unfiltered coverage of their press conferences every single week is so irresponsible

What exactly has been "squandered" about Brexit here and by whom?

Eds not wrong.
When will our mainstream media hold Farage to account for the devastating damage he has inflicted on the country.
It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage gets an easy ride from the media. They give him as much airtime as he wants but never hold him to account for the damage he’s done.

So much of what’s broken in Britain is thanks to Nigel Farage.

Looking back there needs to be quite a searching discussion about when Goodwin's radicalisation spiral started and whether UK academic networks should have been firmer about his drift to the Far Right at an earlier juncture.
Matt Goodwin attributes a crime that he now knows appears to have been committed by people born in Britain in the early 1990s to "mass uncontrolled immigration"
There are few things more disgusting than when the far-right’s morons weaponise violence and human tragedy to amplify racial hatred.

And of course, Farage was apparently doing it for free... hmm.
🚨 Here’s what Farage Doesn’t Want You To See…👇 him and Nathan Gill saying the same statements about Russia 🇷🇺

Appointments an ex Sun editor and you’ll get Sun-type standards.

I’d be thinking of jumping ship if I were a highly regarded journalist
This spectacular @thetimes.com screw-up deserves much wider attention. It’s the second bullshit story that the “paper of record” has deleted in a week after Monday’s attempted hatchet job on @torstenbell.bsky.social. A sad descent for a once serious paper
UK newspaper editor calls Bill de Blasio fake interview blunder ‘humiliating’
Hitler’s thugs also claimed to be responding to the concerns of “ordinary people”. I’m reading Stefan Zweig’s memoir and it’s all horribly familiar.

I never want to hear this man's name again, unless its being read out in court whilst he's being charged with treason.

The fascists got a real pounding in the recent Dutch election. So the BBC coverage has been thin. They gave wall to wall coverage of the rise of Wilders but seemed less keen on covering his decline.

Dutch election 2025: The winners and losers
Liberal boss Rob Jetten had a big night, lefty leader Frans Timmermans had a disaster — and what about far-right figurehead Geert Wilders?

The Volksempfanger (people's radio) was introduced by Dr Goebbels in 1935. The Nazi Party provided every German household with a free radio so that propaganda could be beamed into every home. Now does Musk's ownership of X and Fox News' interest in Tik-Tok make sense?

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this.

At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years
Mike Johnson is seriously evil.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.
