I've been a member of the lobby for well over a decade. Not a single one of my lobby colleagues has said a word about the Conservatives banning me from their conferences, without any explanation. Contrast with the US where even Fox News stood in solidarity when Trump banned news outlets he disliked

The ban comes just weeks after the Conservative leader called Reform's barring of critical journalists from their conference an "authoritarian" attack on the free press

Nigel Farage has deleted this post But not before it's been shared widely showing him to be either a serial liar or delusional and either way, unfit for public office

The editors of The Express are utterly reprehensible. Andy Burnham teared up when having the courage to pay tribute to his dad, just two weeks after he died, in front of thousands of people. And they use it to attack him. They are devoid of basic decency and humanity. Poisonous for our discourse.
Express: It's a crying shame for our nation.

Reform won five MPs in 2024. Today’s YouGov MRP puts them at 123. Their polling has slipped but this would still mean the largest far-right presence in parliament in UK history. 🧵
