As Ben Delo's record £36m Reform donation is headline news, I can't emphasise enough that the media ought to be reporting on Delo's heinous funding of antisemitic conspiracy theorists in the High Court – anonymous contributors to the horrifying neo-Nazi account shown below. bsky.app/profile/luke...

Nigel Farage’s sob story is a series of grievances too far. Now he knows what women MPs, Sadiq Khan and Sir Keir Starmer suffer daily in terms of death threats, lies and abuse. Doesn’t make it any more acceptable but it’s his mob that lowered standards.

Catching up with Southgate’s documentary. Some berk asks if teachers have a negative idea about boys. Obviously never taught a child. Perhaps consider how schools are organised, how and what is taught, and realise if it isn’t working for boys it isn’t working for girls; they accommodate better.
