Includes this, on Nigel Farage's income. If one salary is four times higher than another, which would you say is your 'main job'?

Fantastic investigation by @jamesrball.com on Paul Marshall, the moneyman behind GB News, the Spectator, Unherd, a load of conferences, thinktanks, networks, academic institutions - and by extension almost every rightwing politician in the country. It's an eye-opener...

I genuinely think someone should bring back Friends Reunited. No AI slop, no algorighmic engagement-bait, just 24/7 1980s school nostalgia.

It’s like we’ve decided as a nation that politics is something that happens every five years, and the messy bits in between are irrelevant and can safely be ignored…

“We do not know what the motives are behind this attack. But then if there are people out there who want to kill your friends, their motives are irrelevant.”

Killings in Manchester: has Britain ignored anti-Semitism?

We don’t yet know the motive behind today’s killings outside a synagogue. But there are some horrific facts - and Britain must face them

Every time I hear the phrase 'fighting age', I substitute it for 'working age' - because it's actually true.

Can someone ask Farage or Zia Yusuf why, if they're so concerned about incitement to violence, they had Lucy Connolly as a guest star at their conference?

Where @thenewworldmag.bsky.social leads…back in August, we wrote about how many of the immigration issues Nigel Farage complains about were the result of policies he advocated. Now both Ed Davey *and* Keir Starmer are saying the same.

www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-n...

For a decade, Farage has largely got what he wanted, and none of it has worked. Brexit has been a deadweight, dragging down the UK’s already sluggish growth. The vaunted points-based immigration system didn’t reduce numbers, because the UK has disastrous skills shortages. Johnson’s Brexit deal fuelled the small boats crisis that Farage seized upon to get to his current political popularity.

Farage has danced around any kind of responsibility for the consequences of his actions, or for his own inability to understand how policy on immigration – his number one issue – actually works.

A so-so speech soared when the PM went for Farage. The start of a fightback, or too little, too late? Watch @jamesrball.com on Keir Starmer's speech plus read the full story online 👇
