It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:
"The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order."
That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?

Great article from @amyborrett.ft.com. But it does make me wonder again why there was zero national media coverage when the University of Brighton closed down its big, decades-old campus in Eastbourne. Now of course, it would make a great case study for a journalist of the economic/cultural impact.

Imagine a world where the economic effects of a major set of policy announcements are viewed as of secondary importance to the resignation of an anonymous civil servant or an arcane debate about whether people said things a month ago as part of normal political messaging.

"Since orders to kill survivors of an attack at sea are 'patently illegal,' anyone who issues or follows such orders ... should be prosecuted for war crimes, murder, or both."
Members of Congress have launched a bicameral, bipartisan effort to sharpen oversight of the Pentagon after a report on an alleged order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to “kill everybody” in the military’s boat strike campaign spurred widespread condemnation over the weekend.
Republicans Probe Alleged Hegseth Order to “Kill Everybody” as War Crimes Mount
“Americans will be prosecuted for this, either as a war crime or outright murder,” one lawmaker said.

Thank you for being an almost lone voice on this, Liam. This morning, I was quite shocked (I know, silly me) to hear Adam Boulton on Times Radio refer to claimants as 'parasites on the state' while interviewing someone from the Greens. She rightly pulled him up on it and he withdrew it, but my God!
