A brilliant piece by Claire Jones, demonstrating how journalism should be done. Our journalism has been hijacked by personalities with little personality and zero talent… but they are prepared to lie for a handful of dollars/ rubles/ shekles/ quids.

Corrupt chancers urged to come up with an economic plan that isn’t utter bullshit. So, no tax cuts and austerity on steroids for a country already stuck in Farage’s Brexit dead end.
But hey, some super wealthy industry big (k)nobs will come on board to help con the little guy.

(Times)
Times Farage to abandon manifesto's big plans for tax cuts Extracts: Farage will break with his manifesto pledges of £90 billion in tax cuts as he attempts to bolster his party's economic credibility. The leader of Reform UK will promise not to reduce taxes before reducing spending, deep cuts to the civil service and a ban on borrowing to fund government expenditure in his first big speech on the economy next month. "Reform will never borrow to spend, as Labour and the Tories have done for so long; instead, we will ensure savings are made before implementing tax cuts. I will have more to say on all this in the coming weeks." Speaking on the campaign trail before the Caerphilly by-election to the Welsh parliament on October 23, he did not respond to demands to name his shadow chancellor but suggested he would soon be able to draw on backing from the business community. Several high-profile figures from industry have privately indicated they would be willing to serve in a Reform cabinet, party officials said Farage said: "We will be launching between now and the budget, a new campaign — an economic campaign ... it's going to be very impactful. It'll another high-profile individual coming into politics from outside of politics, who's been supremely successful in their world." Promising a "total change of attitude" on the economy, he said: "We are not a party dominated by corporate thinking. The Tories and La-bour are both dominated by corporate thinking." The IFS has questioned whether Reform's economic plans are credible warning last year that the party had overestimated how much it could save through spending cuts: "Even with the extremely optimistic assumptions about how much economic growth would increase, the sums in this manifesto do not add up." Right-leaning think tanks have also urged the party to set out more credible policy. The Institute for Economic Affairs last month called for Reform to "put some serious economic policies on the table".

BBC News & BBC Politics seem to be wilfully & partially ignoring these facts, along with Leave Eu & Farage ally Banks dealings with Russia when touching on Gill. They do cover Farage ‘stunned’ response. Whatever it is, it IS NOT public service broadcasting.

Nigel Farage was regularly being paid by Putin's public TV propaganda arm Russia Today (RT) in the years before Brexit, while he was failing to represent UK interests as an MEP.

At least 17 appearances from December 2010 - March 2014
This article is more than 11 years old Nigel Farage's relationship with Russian media comes under scrutiny This article is more than 11 years old The Ukip leader's Euroscepticism makes him a shoo-in at the Russian state broadcaster that is often called Putin's mouthpiece Patrick Wintour and Rowena Mason Mon 31 Mar 2014 21.37 BST Share 1,418 Nigel Farage's near monthly appearances on state-owned Russia Today have come under scrutiny after his expression of admiration for Vladimir Putin this week. In one of his 17 appearances on the channel seen by the Guardian and transmitted since December 2010, he claims Europe is governed not by elected democracies but instead "by the worst people we have seen in Europe since 1945". https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/mar/31/nigel-farage-relationship-russian-media-scrutiny The Ukip leader has appeared so frequently that he is cited in literature for the TV station Russia Today as one of their special and "endlessly quotable" British guests. "He has been known far longer to the RT audience than most of the British electorate," Russia Today claims. The Ukip leader did not issue a word of criticism of Russian democracy in any of the Russia Today interviews viewed by the Guardian. Last August he told the channel that British intervention in Libya and Syria would go ahead regardless of any vote in the UN, and said he was still not sure President Bashar al-Assad had used chemical weapons. Farage's relationship with Russia has been under the spotlight since his comments last week on Ukraine. In a TV debate with Nick Clegg (pictured above) he said Russia had been provoked and that the EU had blood on its hands for trying to force Ukraine to choose between itself and Russia.

These 2 speeches, which, as Nick points out, on the same day, precede what Gill has pled guilty to by 4 years, are more damning for Farage as they also precede Brexit.

All European secret services would have been alarmed by this & would/should have been investigating.

£2.3 billion! That's how much Southern Water has paid out in dividends since privatisation in 1989.

Recently, I received an email saying that the hosepipe ban has been extended and that essential usage is now being curtailed!

What would £2.3 billion additional investment have achieved?
