Farage remembers the BBC's 'I ain't half hot mum' from the 1970's & thinks that excuses him from taunting Jewish kids with threats to send them to the gas chambers.
I'm near the same age as Farage & I remember the BBC producing this.
We never joked about the gas chambers.

"Ethical failure...is rarely sudden. It is cumulative. It grows when leaders miss early warning signs, when exhaustion dulls judgment, when a small number of individuals lack a moral grounding—and when institutions become distracted or unmoored."

Jonathan Gullis defects to Reform saying his former party has "lost touch with the people it was meant to serve".
He should know. When he was in Government he took a five-figure donation from JCB, then stayed silent when it axed hundreds of his constituents' jobs just two weeks later

Also, can we get on with investigating Reform members' association with Russia?

Bombing vessels in the Caribbean without congressional authorization is already an unconstitutional use of military force.
Hegseth’s double tap on survivors looks like a war crime, and both Armed Services Committees want him in the chair to answer for it.
