Interesting that the BBC will call National Rally "Far Right" (in an article about Bardella meeting Farage) - when they would never use that term for Reform. Their policies are very similar. If anything Reform's are more authoritarian.

Why do I call Tories scum? Badenoch suddenly pretends survivors were let down, while Johnson threw a tantrum over police digging into historic abuse. The Tories are a party that pissed away 14 years of investigation while victims begged for truth and justice. #ukpolitics

For someone who is “no apologist” for Farage’s racism, Trevor Phillips sure produces a lot of apologies. Two of them are far more pernicious than just the usual Whataboutery though:

Trevor Phillips’ columns really need a fact checker. Prospect, with a budget rather smaller than the Times, would not have let me be this inaccurate.
On a purely factual point, Trevor Phillips’s column in the Times misrepresents our reporting in casting doubts on claims that there were more boys called Patel than Smith at Dulwich in 1980 (we did not report 1976 as the year it occurred). 1980 roll shows 13 Patels and 12 Smiths.
