Nothing on the BBC Radio news this morning. Nothing I could find on their website. This is an MP from the party whose lead in the opinion polls normally ensures them wall-to-wall coverage. She spouts racist nonsense for which even she feels obliged to apologise. What on earth are they playing at?

It started with a few people in inflatable frog costumes protesting outside an immigration detention centre in Portland, Ore.
Then, the frogs multiplied. And pretty soon, they were joined in solidarity by all manner of inflatable creatures, both real and mythical.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear:
The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here.
Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead.
This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.
