Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether.
He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors

Tell you what, the Tories are gonna be kicking themselves at losing a political and intellectual heavyweight like Gullis.

True dat. It does seem a trifle unbalanced.
The absolute state of the BBC news just now - which seems determined to drag the government down over the budget.
Where was all this attention to minute detail and concern for absolute accuracy when the Tories were lying their way through their chaotic reign for 14 years? It's frankly absurd.

For all the focus on its supposed “left wing bias”, the BBC’s heavy coverage of Rachel Reeves Budget "lies" shows how its political coverage is still largely led by the right-wing press

Instead of the Treasury gaining £350m / week as the Quitlings promised, it's losing about 5 times that amount in lost taxes due to the Brexit damage to GDP.
Time for rejoining to be put on the table and for the Brexit (mis)leaders to be ignored politically and then properly investigated.

The UK Sunday papers are full of articles critical of a Labour govt as it starts to fix a decade of Tory incompetence and corruption.
Best example is a ‘vox pop’ in the Independent where poor voters, disappointed with Labour’s budget, will now consider voting for the idiots who gave us Brexit.
