Another triumph for Goodwin's campaign. No doubt he'll continue to pretend he cares about anti-semitism.

Matthew Goodwin is among the highest-profile by-election candidates of recent decades. But has his profile hindered or helped Reform's bid in Gorton+Denton. A party that wants to govern faces risks from the sharper edges of the online right. Me in The New World

Rupert Lowe has received an enthusiastic endorsement from Martin Sellner, the Austrian founder of Generation Identity.

Sellner was an active neo-nazi as a young man, getting convicted for putting a swastika on a synagogue, to show support for David Irving, but says he left that scene behind.

The judge has officially declared a mistrial due to the defense lawyer's shirt depicting Jesse Jackson. This sends the case back to the pre-trial stage. The federal government is almost certain to make another attempt at prosecuting the case.

The Star Telegram reported that the judge is strongly considering calling a mistrial due to a "politically charged T-shirt" worn by a defense attorney. I've been told the shirt depicts Jesse Jackson, who died today.

You've appointed Tories to your top team. Why should people believe your party is any different?

Farage: "These were two people who were ministers, but frankly weren't ministers for very long".

Suella Braverman was a minister for over 4 years.

Robert Jenrick was a minister for almost 5 years.

When I lived in Japan, far-right parties used to drive around blaring out propaganda from loudspeaker vans. People saw them as public nuisances at best, dangerous nutters at worst. Interesting to see Matt Goodwin adopt the same strategy.
