I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

EXC: Zack Polanski tells us Britain should consider closing US military bases, leave Nato and denuclearise, as he begins to flesh out the Greens’ foreign policy.

I had the odd doubter two weeks ago, but I'll say it again:
"Donald Trump is the most significant threat to NATO."
Whatever our government says on the surface, it had better be working tirelessly with EU allies to manage that threat and minimise the potential for future threats.

Trump's tariff threat to the UK and NATO allies marks a dangerous departure as he pursues the illegal annexation of Greenland. He hasn't attacked a NATO ally militarily - yet - but he has done economically. The UK must stand with our allies and face down his bullying tactics.

🚨 A senior leader in a UK party was recently jailed for taking Russian bribes.
Before they next go to the polls, the public must be fully informed of the extent of Russian influence in UK politics.
The government should have launched a statutory public inquiry in 2024. The next best time is today.

The headline misses the point.
Reform aims to replicate MAGA's success in the United States, whereby it rose to prominence by cannibalising the Republican Party.
Farage isn't worried about becoming Tory Party 2.0, he intends to cannibalise and replace it.

What do you suppose attracts a man who misused public money as an MP, to a party run by a man who misused public money as an MEP?

She is desperate not to cede the far-right to Reform, and that means appeasing, ignoring or praising Trump however depraved his actions.
If she moves in either direction, she is under threat both at the polls, and internally from Cleverley and Jenrick.
