The first and last time Nigel Farage dared to face James O’Brien has gone viral again, and it’s still a glorious own

To be fair to us common or garden disdainers, we do actually disdain these people enough. We keep receipts and we loathe them all the more when they feign innocence or ignorance.

"Iran wants to make a deal very badly" .. "Canada wants to make a deal very badly" .. "a deal is coming fairly soon". This is the new "in two weeks" rhetoric. He has a limited ability of expression and why he becomes unhinged with reporters leading to his "who do you work for" and Fake News retorts.

With all respect to the BBC, the reason this story "matters" is not about whether it distracts from Reform's conference. It "matters" because it is important our leaders are not conspiring to break the law.
