When will any BBC journalist challenge the lies and hypocrisy that Farage and Reform speak? There are so many examples of their "double speak" yet no challenge. What has happened to journalists and probing questions? The BBC just seem to repeat what Reform say.

This week Nigel Farage learned what he must have long suspected: that there is nothing so disgusting that he can’t say it for fear of being challenged by the Prime Minister. THREAD

"I was Keir Starmer's political prisoner?"
"Really? And what politics got you imprisoned?"
"I publicly advocated for vulnerable people to be burned alive"
"Really? And what politics got you imprisoned?"

This felt inevitable: an interview with Allison Pearson given top billing in the Telegraph.
Connolly suggests Starmer should relearn what freedom of speech means and "what the laws are in this country".
I think he knows but Connolly/Pearson clearly don't. No lessons have been learned in prison.

Yesterday Mark Carney was told, “Mr Carney, there’s a genocide in Palestine”.
“I’m aware,” Carney told the protester, “That’s why we have an arms embargo.”
This has really, really upset Benjamin Netanyahu, so don't RT unless you hate him.
