I don’t get it. Belgian politicians & media routinely call Vlaams Belang racist, far-right and fascists (they are) and maintain a cordon sanitaire. German security services list AfD as a far-right extremist party. Are UK politicians, media & security services captured or incompetent?

So in one week: 1) Reform get stung for dodgy finances, and the regulators play pass the parcel about enforcement 2) Farage announces plans to largely dismantle independent scrutiny of govt, and barely any press discussion of it 3) Masked thugs blockade a port, with narry a word from senior govt

I guess there comes a point where you have to trust the Police and Intelligence Services that rather than bashing a few people up and nicking them for disrupting traffic, there's a longer game to play which brings far bigger consequences for these thugs. Rather not have to wait too long though...

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

I appreciate they would deny it, but they spent the last two days arguing about if some ethnicities can be British, announcing they'd declare a state or emergency to push through their policies, and now this, it's a very straightforwardly fascist movement.

Farage told Congress last year that he never bans journalists from his events. He spoke at the behest of an anti-abortion group, the ADF. It's ironic, and pretty revolting, that Reform banned me from its conference after I reported that three anti-abortion groups are speaking at this year's event

London's burning, London's burning 🔥 Today marks the 360th anniversary of the Great Fire of London. William Taswell (1651-1682) was a schoolboy witness to both the 1665 Plague of London and the 1666 Great Fire of London. In our collections we have his firsthand account of these historic events.

As ever with City "Time will tell". Should be good, but 3 points from first 4 games is dreadful (given we apparently had a good pre-season; fewer changes to personnel for players to get used to; new players in theory are useful upgrades; same coach etc). Pressure mounting on Clement to sort it out🤔

Imagine Labour were in opposition and two very senior shadow cabinet members, seen as leadership rivals to the leader, had resigned within days of each other. Think how that would be reported - the tone, frequency, and prominence. Now tell me the media landscape is not skewed in this country.

Iceland is not in the EU, but it is a member of the Schengen area. It’s also a member of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and is part of the Single Market, meaning it enjoys freedom of movement with the EU. Good to know that doesn’t impact their independence. Maybe we should try it, Nige.
