How very convenient.
BBC Chair Samir Shah and Robbie Gibb asked to explain why they drew up a plan, as revealed by Byline Times, to win back the "trust" of Reform voters, but haven't made similar plans for voters of any other party.

Two takeaways for today:
🔥 The sentencing of Gill is a perfect excuse to announce a public enquiry into Russia's involvement in UK politics – including Brexit.
🔥 Trump's demands on Ukraine prove that he's Putin's bitch – and no amount of sucking up to him by UK or EU leaders will change that.
