I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Rattled. "It was 49 years ago!" As noted, he cannot deny the allegations outright. His answers are caveated. Oh dear.

Brexit has reduced GDP by 6-8% increasing over time. This is the economy Reeves faces as she prepares the budget. It cannot be said often enough or loudly enough. @hugorifkind.bsky.social
"One of the terrible ironies is that Reform’s leader, Nigel Farage, is now capitalising on the unpopularity of a government whose laudable aims have been frustrated by the economic damage caused by a Brexit behind which he was the prime mover." ~AA

@hugorifkind.bsky.social Great to hear you discussing Climate fiction this morning. For beautiful storytelling from a great writer, try The Wager and the Bear by @johnironmonger.bsky.social It should appeal as one of its two key characters is a blustering Tory MP (climate change denier)!

The UK is a strongly pro-choice country with 86% of Britons wanting abortion to be legal in all or most cases. But the US anti-choice movement has been investing heavily into campaigns in Britain, and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party seems to be support the interference.
The worrying rise of US anti-abortion rhetoric is in full force - how deep is Reform UK's involvement?
Money is pouring into anti-abortion campaigns in Britain, and it seems Nigel Farage’s party isn’t pushing back…

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Hard to keep saying this is people 'misremembering' when there are quite so many of them remembering the exact same things.
Twenty people allege he has a racist past. He denies it. Who’s telling the truth about Farage’s schooldays?
Reform UK’s leader refuses to answer questions about his abusive behaviour, claiming there’s ‘no evidence’. We talk to victims and witnesses

One might say Farage is not a good judge of character?
Or even worse, maybe he is?

There's a Russian spy ship sitting at the edge of British waters. Today Nathan Gill (former leader of Reform UK Wales) was sentenced to 10.5 years in jail for taking bribes and delivering Russia supporting speeches in the European parliament. Nigel Farage is a bit quiet. www.bbc.com/news/article...
