No journalist should have to be taken away from an assignment on a gurney. This is the second such recent incident we’ve seen wherein the photographer has been covering immigration enforcement actions & is injured & taken away by EMS. Wishing @keremyucel.bsky.social a full and swift recovery.

Don’t believe Nigel Farage’s denials. He targeted me for being Jewish – and it hurt | Peter Ettedgui
Three more school contemporaries who claim to have witnessed Nigel Farage’s alleged teenage racism have rejected the Reform UK leader’s suggestion that it was “banter”, describing it as targeted, persistent and nasty.
One former pupil, Stefan Benarroch, claimed that people emerging from a Jewish assembly at Dulwich college had been in the sights of Farage and others for taunts while a second, Cyrus Oshidar, described as “rubbish” the claim that the Reform leader did not act with intent to hurt.
