The radio silence about Farage from people who are usually supremely vocal about antisemitism is so so telling.

Farage remembers the BBC's 'I ain't half hot mum' from the 1970's & thinks that excuses him from taunting Jewish kids with threats to send them to the gas chambers.
I'm near the same age as Farage & I remember the BBC producing this.
We never joked about the gas chambers.

Reminder: A man once flattened live on air by Mick Lynch - who reduced him to a blinking screensaver in under 30 seconds - is now hailed by Reform as some kind of intellectual prize. #ukpolitics

"Ethical failure...is rarely sudden. It is cumulative. It grows when leaders miss early warning signs, when exhaustion dulls judgment, when a small number of individuals lack a moral grounding—and when institutions become distracted or unmoored."

Congress needs to find out if any laws were broken and who is responsible.

Jonathan Gullis defects to Reform saying his former party has "lost touch with the people it was meant to serve".

He should know. When he was in Government he took a five-figure donation from JCB, then stayed silent when it axed hundreds of his constituents' jobs just two weeks later

Senior Conservatives have repeatedly promoted a pothole repair machine made by a company which has donated huge sums to the party and its MPs

Now that the budget is done, can we get back to checking on Nigel Farage and who paid for his house?

Also, can we get on with investigating Reform members' association with Russia?

There’s a lot to unpack here…

Bombing vessels in the Caribbean without congressional authorization is already an unconstitutional use of military force.

Hegseth’s double tap on survivors looks like a war crime, and both Armed Services Committees want him in the chair to answer for it.

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven.

The hypocrisy is stunning.
Habba: There were individuals that were saying that this should be a safe harbor, a safe haven. Why? America is America because we protect our own.
