Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Felt fairly easy today, which was odd considering it had 3,000m of climbing. Weather conditions were calm, which helped with not having to battle headwinds, and I must’ve got my fuelling right because I upped the pace for the last 50km👍

Yes, very speedy service as well👍

No, that was easy in comparison….Batcombe is at the southernmost point of the route. There was also one equally steep about 3km from the finish…oooffff🤯😆 Still, managed a decent average considering there was about 3,000m of climbing👍

I'd actually forgotten how extraordinary it is that when I won the leadership - I wasn't interviewed as it was too close to our party conference interviewed.

And then refused a second time!

Part of the antidote to all of this is creating our own media platforms.

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday.

Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester
