Good letter(Times) Starmer made a grave error of judgement… But what was Farage’s threat of Trump imposing tariffs on us over free speech bullshit? Or his mate,Gill,taking Russian bribes? Or his links to crypto, Brexit and profiteering deregulation? Just if we’re actually serious about any of this…

Sir, As a Labour Party member I never liked Lord Mandelson but I accepted that he was a wily and effective fixer. I thought it was a wise and canny move to send him as our ambassador to Donald Trump's Washington: send a snake into the snakepit. But I was wrong and I confess that my judgment was warped by pragmatism. The politics of Trump taints us all.

Daily Mail

Nigel Farage is expected to urge Donald Trump to punish Britain through trade and diplomatic action if it fails to uphold free speech when he faces US politicians today.
The Reform leader and MP is due to say Britain has become an 'authoritarian censorship regime' after the arrest of Irish writer Graham Linehan for posting trans-critical tweets.

Farage says he will now vote against scrapping the two-child limit. In case it benefits “foreign-born people”. It’s not just the racism, it’s the out-of-control personal greed, combined with the staggering meanness. He’s a repulsively inadequate man. www.thetimes.com/article/0ab2...

Ministers introduced legislation in the Commons yesterday to end the ban on paying some benefits to large fami-lies. They say that this will take almost half a million children out of poverty.
Farage, leader of Reform UK, told a press conference on Wednesday that his party would vote against scrapping the two-child limit, despite having previously suggested he could back the change. He said he was concerned that it would "benefit huge numbers of foreign-born people".

On why Farage doesn’t apologise for his schoolboy racism: “if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too.’ ” Exactly. He is racist. So are his voters. He can’t be pissing them off by saying sorry. #NeverPM www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

With his party riding high in the polls, toasting a game-changing £9m donation and welcoming its first Tory defector in the Lords, Nigel Farage seems to be sitting pretty. But creeping allegations of racist schoolboy behaviour — and his belligerent response to them
— could harm his chances of winning over wavering voters, writes Josh Glancy
(Cartoon of shocked? angry? frightened? people under the money bags holding placards saying ‘BIGOT’, ‘RACIST’ and ‘NAZI NIGEL’)

Crick believes that there is a clear line to be drawn between Farage the sixth-former and Farage the politician. "So much of his character is the same as you can see at Dulwich," he says. "The boy who's desperate for attention, who loves debating, who loves division. The English nationalism, the interest - almost obsession - with immigration, the admiration for Enoch Powell, the free-market Thatcherism; all of that began at Dulwich."
Much of the public has already made up its mind on Farage. In as much as this story cuts through to the wider elector-ate, some will think it deeply unfair to judge Farage on his adolescence; while others will see it as fair game and reflective of the man he later became.
But there will be many who are still undecided on Farage and, for this last camp, his belligerent response to the allegations will be a test.
He has the polling support. He has the Tory defections. He has the money now too. But does he have the ability to woo and keep voters who once found him unsavoury?
Farage is unlikely to change tack now.
"He's got to be true to him-self," says the senior Reform source. "There is precious little point in apologising to people like Ed Davey."
