Yinka was a little 9 year old boy
Farage was a swaggering bully aged 17

Yinka Bankole was 12 when Farage spotted him in the playground:
“He towered over me. ‘Where are you from?’ he asked. Within seconds of offering my rather confused and sputtering answers, he had a clear response: ‘That’s the way back to Africa,’.”

Polls suggest that Reform support may have peaked, perhaps because it appeals only to a very distinctive, and noisy, minority

Brexit ‘badly damaged’ our economy says David Lammy, the deputy prime minister also says rejoining the EU customs union would boost economic growth. More and more people are realising the sky doesn’t fall in when you tell the truth about Brexit!

This is getting stupid now.
We're at the point where Labour acknowledge both the damage caused by Brexit AND that rejoining the Customs Union (more accurately, joining A Customs Union) would boost growth.
And yet they still reinforce their red lines.

I kinda think part of the problem is the BBC News gathering team has been cut so much (bbc budgets have had 40% real term cut since 2010) that increasingly the ‘exclusives’ are weak data stories with a political angle (eg small boats) that then oversized BBC coverage as they’re ‘exclusive’
