The only way Chris Mason's day could get any worse is to return home and find burglars have stolen his shrine to Nigel Farage.

I remember Iain Dale @iaindale.bsky.social saying he'd never heard about the antisemitic allegations against Nigel Farage when I called him about a year ago.
The call could easily be found.
And yet they pay him big bucks to present factual news and opinion.
