Time and again, Today seem to platform Tufton Street with no challenge or accountability, while sidelining real experts
The "guy making a case about low taxes" was in fact Karl Williams of the Centre for Policy Studies - author of the fictional/fabricated and now withdrawn "£234 billion" cost number cited by Katie Lam and Reform.
Funnily Amol Rajan didn't ask him about that.. 😉

And again I wonder why a super expert like Portes is not on BBC4 today instead of a guy making a case about low taxes

Well done BBC News’s Wyre Davies and Ben Summer for “doorstepping” ex UKIP MEP David Coburn outside his Normandy chateau.
Coburn has been named in connection with the pro-Russian influence campaign involving Nathan Gill but denies accepting payments in exchange for making pro-Russian statements.

Very much enjoying this BBC article explaining how David Coburn, Nathan Gill’s fellow MEP who acted as an echo chamber for Gill’s Ukraine position, is now another bloody immigrant living in his “chateau in France” (but took no 🇷🇺 money)
His Wiki page is worth a read

As always, superb. Required (post-)Brexit reading.
Astringent also. On Brexiter responses to Hallett: "… referring to Hallett as “some judge”, Johnson, who set up the Inquiry and set its terms of reference in the first place… As for Frost, he shows the self-awareness of a toilet seat."

Brexit reminders. New post on my Brexit & Brexitism Blog. Brexit may not be in the headlines, but many current news stories carry reminders of it, including the Hallett Inquiry report, the Gill scandal, the Budget & the latest net migration figures: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/brex...

Donald Trump was asked about the death of a soldier and of course has to make it all about himself...
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.
