Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

Farage wants to get rid of the BBC & the NHS. Without those two institutions, what do we actually have left? The man won’t stop until he’s destroyed everything. All in the service of the right wing billionaires.

BBC News should dump the rolling news. They should do 4 hour long news broadcasts per day, and that should be protected by a licence fee. It should also be run by completely apolitical people. Don’t chase ratings. Don’t treat it like the transfer window. Protect the news website. That’s it.

Political journalists in the UK have worked themselves into a frenzy this week. Again. They’re all sports and showbiz reporters now. Minute by minute breathless hysteria. No discussion of policy, no nuance, no serious debate. Just daily transfer window updates. We’re all being let down.

Three years ago, after the Martin Bashir scandal, BBC boss Tim Davie tried to prevent future crises by appointing two “external editorial experts” to scrutinise BBC journalism. Oddly, both came from PR rather than journalism.
