Time to give my latest post a midweek boost. Springsteen's wonderful response to events in Minneapolis - and that's not the easiest word to fit into a song lyric! 🎸

A joke! Instead of the BBC's 'glare of scrutiny' how about the 'warm glow of obsequiousness'?
Annnnd it’s official❗️ Today is National Reform Day (again) on BBC
Already this morning there were two reports by BBC focusing on Reform and now, because that’s not enough this👇🏼
Kuenssberg following Farage’s Party & interviews him, airbrushing over racism, ignorance Russian links, bugging him up 🤷🏼♂️

Inside Reform: Laura Kuenssberg follows Farage's party as it experiences the glare of scrutiny
The BBC has spent time interviewing senior figures and witnessing Reform's work at the largest council it runs.

Farage only debates establishment figures because his job is to perform dissent, not practice it. A real debate with @zackpolanski.bsky.social would expose the pro-capitalist consensus he shares with Starmer and Badenoch The 'choice' they offer is an illusion!
Gorton & Denton is between the Green Party and Reform.
And Farage knows his candidate is weak as.
Hannah Spencer for the win.

I wonder when the UK media will start reporting on Farage being mentioned in the Epstein files? Or will they ignore it like they do with everything else that’s wrong that he does…

Let's talk about how disastrous Brexit has been.
Let's talk about why Gorton & Denton must vote Green & stop Reform.
Why so quiet, Nigel Farage?
