The only question worth asking at these incredibly flash Reform press conferences that take place every week now, is who is paying for all of this and what do they want in return bsky.app/profile/pete...
I’m in Westminster where Nigel Farage is about to unveil his ‘shadow cabinet’ and the decor is slightly bonkers. Looks like he’s going to launch a Simon Cowell-era boyband instead.

Anniversary of a confession in the clear: The networked evil that brought us Farage’s, Putin pleasing, Brexit. Here is the missing clip in which Farage confirms that Brexit would not have been possible without Bannon, Breitbart and by implication Cambridge Analyitica’s “help.”

George Orwell warned us about Big Brother. Now AI doesn’t just watch – it predicts, nudges, and shapes us. A new study calls it “technofascism”: where Big Tech, surveillance capitalism, and illiberal politics quietly erode democracy. Stephen McNair reports

Hard to believe that none of the Reform MPs turned up for the debate on Russian interference in our politics. Maybe they were visiting their former Kremlin talking points Welsh leader Nathan Gill in prison? Or en route to their next BBC interview to act as commentators on why Starmer should go?

Trump has just posted a video of the Obamas pictured as monkeys. This should hit headlines. We warned you about him years ago, but many made him a friend, defended him, salivated and gave him football shirts. Our thoughts are with black people everywhere and my own family. I am sorry. I am so sorry.
