There was a time when the Tories, however hypocritically, claimed to want to protect our natural heritage. Now they're just a party of vandals, ripping down the few protections the living world has for the sake of their rich chums. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Conservative Governments made a habit of announcing things then dropping them. Is anyone surprised that this was just more Tory window dressing with no real intent of public spending? That might have required tax increases, or even worse progressive tax increases!

Tories to hand free childcare to those earning more than £100,000, would cost £700m to the public purse. Previously, they pledged cuts to universal credit, housing benefit, support for the long term unemployed. Continuation of the Tory war on less well-off.

Why does a crackdown on Kremlin bot networks feel like a personal attack to Nigel #Farage? 🎯 Sunderland Echo 📰 highlights #ReformUK's uncomfortable links to Moscow. If they aren't a conduit for hostile disinformation, they have nothing to fear. #UKPolitics #DarkMoney #Disinformation #Russia 👇

A scanned clipping from the Sunderland Echo letters page on Friday, October 2, 2026, featuring two letters.
The main letter, headlined "Farage takes it all personally", questions why Nigel Farage assumes PM Andy Burnham’s new National Centre for Information Defence—designed to protect Britain from hostile state disinformation—is a personal attack on him. It points out Farage's uncomfortable links to Moscow, including paid appearances on Russia Today, Arron Banks' embassy meetings, and former close ally Nathan Gill serving 10-and-a-half years in prison for taking bribes to promote pro-Russian propaganda. The letter quotes US Democrat Jamie Raskin calling Farage a "Putin-loving free speech impostor" and notes a recent undercover sting into Reform UK's foreign donations. A large pull-quote reads: "Why does a British politician assume a crackdown on Kremlin-backed bot networks must be a personal attack on him?"
Below it is a shorter letter headlined "No credibility" by Jessica Goetia Brooking, criticizing Farage for ignoring police advice after an incident at RAF Fairford to jump on a political bandwagon, concluding he has "as much credibility as a bankrupt currency."

Two tier policing. Victoria Thomas Bowen, who chucked a milkshake at Farage, was given a 13-week jail sentence, suspended for 12 months; had to pay him £150 compensation; had to complete 120 hours of unpaid work and pay £450 in court costs. It was nowhere near the level of violence of this assault.
