Hi @economist.com - why do you insist on platforming pro-Putin propagandists like Melnichenko and now Weidel? And why do you refer to Weidel as a “populist-right politician” when she is demonstrably the FAR-RIGHT leader of a hateful, extremist party full of Nazis? AfD is beyond the pale.

Farage is one of a series of Reform UK figures who are permitted to present shows on the rightwing network GB News. The Reform MP Lee Anderson and former candidate Matt Goodwin also have regular slots on the channel. Continue reading...
