At the same time as banning myself and other journalists from their conference this week, this is who Reform laid out the red carpet for www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I am a defender of the BBC generally. But is it not a bit strange that there's nothing about the ongoing Reform scandal on the front of their web news page?

Possibly the most shocking revelation in this whole thing is that Nigel Farage was at one point in Clacton.

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

And now the investigation into the £5 million secretly-gifted by an ‘economic migrant’ recommences. If nothing else has been achieved with this daft by-election, the idea that Farage is some sort of master strategist has been put to bed. It’s easy to look good when you’re getting free passes galore.

It was noticeable that Lee Anderson had abandoned this claim on Radio 4 this morning, saying instead that Farage wanted to celebrate with "real people". Farage has a history of making these lurid claims (like his phone being hacked by Russians) then dropping them when they've served their purpose.

No one does democracy better, apart from Columbia, where they recently voted for an anthropomorphic white elephant. Count Binface makes me believe anything is possible and if that isn't something to vote for, then I don't know what is. C'mon, Clacton - this really is a time you can BELIEVE.

Climate denial is getting louder. Reality is getting harder to ignore. When parks are brown, rivers are shrinking and firefighters are battling blazes across the globe, governments must accelerate climate action, not slow it down.

In May we said Nigel Farage probably didn't owe tax on his £5m gift. The Guardian now reports the gift followed talks where Farage said he'd need £5m to return to frontline politics. *If* that's right, we think there's a high risk of a £3m tax bill - payable by Reform.

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.

The question for Nigel Farage now is whether it's less embarrassing to un-resign and claim that was an establishment stitchup, or to spend a month competing with a bin. Neither is exactly a *great* option. Neither solves his ongoing scandals. And it's a mess entirely of his own making.

Zia Yusuf claims Farage is bravely "bringing forward" the judgment of "the ultimate authority": the people of Clacton. Two problems here: 1) He's insisting they judge *before* the full evidence has been heard, not *after*; 2) No constituency can exempt its MP from rules designed to protect us all

As I understand it, The Times did publish a photo of the property Farage's daughter lives in, but they didn't reveal the inhabitant, only that the property formed part of his estate portfolio. So Farage himself outed the property as his daughter's address.

"Letting the people of Clacton decide" Yes, because the people of Clacton barely see Farage, let alone have access to his finances in order to decide whether or not they're corrupt Or breaking rules. An absolute farce. A farce costing public money to hold a bi-election.
