I wonder what it is about Rachel Reeves that they hate: a woman who went to a comprehensive school, who rose from relatively humble origins to the top and who still speaks with a South London accent. I wonder why they hate her so much. It's a mystery.

Coverage of migration last week repeatedly referenced people emigrating – implying either white flight, that young people were heading overseas, or the rich were in mass exodus.

The reality: emigration of British citizens is flat. Non-EU citizens are leaving.

Will everyone in my timeline stop saying ‘Release the Russia Report’. Boris Johnson tried to hold it back, but it was released in 2020 with (necessarily) redacted elements and the confirmation British Intelligence never investigated Russian interference

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?
We kept the receipts. These comments, taken together, paint a picture of the man he is today.

Net migration has fallen again to 204,000, the lowest level since 2021 and is forecast to continue falling over the coming years.

Not that you would know it from the endless coverage of Britain's supposed "immigration crisis"

The only reason Gill stopped being the Reform UK leader in Wales was because he failed to win a seat in the 2021 Senedd election.

Zia Yusuf keeps trying to make this sound like this is ancient history, and Reform washed their hands of him, but nothing is further from the truth.

The Trump administration wants you to stop watching the BBC and watch GB News instead. Meanwhile this is what passes for “journalism” on GB News…

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million

In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.

London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.

And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing
