As ever, and for the last time in connection with lying shit Jeffrey Archer, we remember Monica Coghlan, whose life he destroyed.

Archer’s resignation from the London mayoral race after it was revealed he lied in court was the thing that got Paul Foot up from his sickbed and contributing again, having first started chronicling Archer’s lies and misdemeanours in 1969. From the Private Eye archive. Issue 992, December 1999.

🤔 Nigel Farage leads a political party. He’s a sitting MP. And he now hosts his own weekly primetime show on GB News. 🚨Broadcasters are required to present news in an impartial manner, without political bias. 👇 Add your name to demand that Ofcom takes immediate action.

If you add in £130m losses on “Reform TV” (aka GB News) the effective subsidy of Farage’s party from just four men tops £200m. You just have to join the dots app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/75017/...

With all respect to the BBC, the reason this story "matters" is not about whether it distracts from Reform's conference. It "matters" because it is important our leaders are not conspiring to break the law.

You can't claim long-term benefits if you're able to work. And you HAVE to be looking for work. You can't look for work if you're cleaning high streets all day. And making people clean for benefits undercuts wages of people who currently get paid do it. Idiocy www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Absolutely right, Andrew — the reason Farage thinks a gift of £5 million is nothing to get excited about is that, in terms of the overall amount of cash he’s personally made out of Brexit since 2016, it isn’t.

I feel like I'm going mad: Henry Nowak's killer has been sentenced to life in prison with a 21-year minimum. The whole process took less than six months. There were grave errors on the night. But how does this possibly evidence two-tier justice? www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-o...
This is not what happened in the Henry Nowak case. Nowak was killed in December 2025. Once police realised they had been deceived on the scene, they rapidly investigated, properly. 

They secretly recorded Digwa and his brother talking to one another, in Punjabi, about how they planned to mislead officers about the attack. Police quickly amassed more than enough evidence for prosecutors to use.

Less than six months after his killing, Nowak’s attacker has been convicted of murder and sentenced to at least 21 years in prison. Police failed Nowak in his final moments alive, but the justice system delivered exactly as it was supposed to do so for his family. Showing truly admirable restraint and forbearance, Nowak’s father said, clearly, that “we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension”.

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.
