Needless to say, this story is nowhere near the front page of the BBC website despite only being posted 4 hrs ago. So where have the BBC put a story about Farage, an MP who leads a Westminster party and whose seat is in Essex? In the "Wales" news section, obviously

Nigel Farage insisted he has never engaged in 'direct, personal' abuse, following accusations of racism.

100 million meals delivered in London under the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan's universal free school meal scheme – an amazing achievement!

No child can learn when they’re hungry, and the NEU is proud to stand alongside such a ground breaking campaign.

📉London has recorded the lowest number of murders in 2025 since monthly records began!

😮That number represents a fall of almost 60% compared to 2003.
