This term "entrapment." You can only be "got" if you've something others can "get at." We had party gate, beer gate, that mad dash to Barnard Castle to "test one's eye sight." All were naysayed @ the time. All proven true. As imo, this latest Farage dodgy money will be.

What the fuck do they mean 'spontaneous protest'? 1000 people spontaneously taking a walk around Dover with Balaclavas? Look at the social media of every Far-Right organiser in the UK... This was so clearly planned. This tells every Far-Right thug in the country that they have utter impunity.

This is even worse than Badenoch’s letter yesterday, as she has space to explain what she would do instead of net zero targets to tackle the climate change she accepts is real but then doesn’t. She accuses Labour of not having a plan, then insists we should trust her unannounced plan will be better.

Labour needs steadiness, not panic. A leadership contest now risks handing the initiative to Farage turning a difficult moment into a political crisis. Priority should be to regroup, sharpen Labour’s message and focus relentlessly on delivery, public trust and national renewal.
