Farage, a man who was doing Cameo videos for £70 a pop as late as March 2026, apparently turned up to a meeting to discuss a half-million donation and "wasn't really listening". What utter contempt he has for the very democracy, country, and people that he claims to love.

BBC’s coverage of Reform’s welfare plans is frankly bizarre. Headlines in Ten, leading on some radio networks. Reform are not even the official opposition and the plans have less credibility than Count Binface. Will BBC News do the same for Lib Dem and Greens policy two years out from an election?

Any serious social-care plan will bring down the fires of hell from the Conservatives, Reform & much of the press, with endless headlines about "death taxes" & "dementia taxes". The only solution may be to get some beloved older celebrities to front a campaign, & call it "David's Law" or some such.

Just watched the Burnham interview on Panorama. He handles it well, as you'd expect, & is good on welfare. But the problem is that Kuenssberg just isn't a very good interviewer. The questions are designed to trap, not to inform, so you don't really learn anything (except that he's better at this)

A reminder
As you hear the latest news of Tory greed and corruption from the Covid inquiry, don’t forget that we had THREE pandemic preparedness exercises, the biggest, exercise Cygnus, in 2016. 

Findings showed the UK was scarily unprepared for a pandemic. The Tories didn’t just fail to act on the findings they refused to fully participate in the exercise including making life or death decisions. 

Ultimately, they favoured ideological austerity over replenishing stockpiles. Four years later Covid hit and instead of acting fast they thought about how their donors and mates could profit as our NHS workers used fucking BIN BAGS while attending to patients. 

To add insult to injury the fuckers partied and got coked off their tits in Westminster as millions died and suffered in isolation.

Never forget what those scumbags did.
