How could an associate professor in divinity at Cambridge be expected to know that lying is bad? thecritic.co.uk/mone...
Ah yes, James Orr. A lot of us had been hazy about what it is exactly that associate professors in a divinity department do all day. It doesn’t seem to involve a lot of work: Orr is often to be seen at Reform events in London, which take up the whole morning even for those of us with offices down the road. Now we know he was also sipping cocktails while discussing ways in which wealthy foreigners might be able to get round the laws that ban them donating to the party.

The associate professor of divinity was filmed explaining to an undercover reporter that so long as everyone kept their mouths shut, there was no way that the authorities would ever find out. Orr spent four years as a postdoctoral fellow in theology, ethics and public life at Oxford, and it would be fascinating to know at what point he developed this theory of What the Electoral Commission Don’t Know Won’t Hurt Them. Perhaps he was off sick the day they opened the gospel of Luke: “What you have said in the dark will be h

That money never even rested in my account! Nigel Farage struggles to explain the latest cash scandal. thecritic.co.uk/mone...
“I’ve got a statement here,” Nigel Farage began, unfolding a piece of paper. That’s how bad things were: the great off-the-cuffster had been handed a line to which he was required to stick. It was like Miles Davis announcing that he would be playing a medley of elevator music.

We were in Birmingham, at the conference of Reform, the greatest political party that money can buy. Last year, the conference was disrupted by a scandal over Angela Rayner, which meant the focus shifted to the Labour government. This year the party was taking no chances about losing the spotlight and had brought along its own scandal.

The Channel 4 report the previous evening had thrown the entire event into chaos. At 7am the story was denounced as a put-up by a far-left outfit, the videos edited. At 8am Farage had lost his closest aide, Dan Jukes, and his policy chief, James Orr. At 8.15am they were on a brief suspension, and by 9am Farage was explaining that they were mere “contractors”.
