Chris Mason mentions Farage’s lie that the police warned him of a threat, but not the police denial. Truly he is the worst of a terrible bunch of sycophantic journalists. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Where does this unorthodox by-election victory leave Nigel Farage?
As expected, the Reform UK leader easily won the Clacton by-election but was nowhere to be seen after the result.

Farage's by-election stunt wasted enough public money to pay for free dental care for every child in his constituency. Does he care? No. He just wanted to avoid legitimate parliamentary scrutiny of his dodgy bungs. Which he won't. It'll start again immediately. What a cock.

Farage cannot be allowed to get away with this lie. It's the politics of the absolute gutter. And invoking the two world wars in his grubby little game is an insult to the people who actually fought and died in them.

And there’s more… More lies, more dodgy deals and denials.. Farage has bought 4 houses for cash since 2020 - the year we left the EU. And declared only 2 of them. Come on people. The man’s a hot mess of corruption, racism, national security threat and greed. Let’s bin him off.
From 'skint' in 2017, the Reform UK leader now owns five mortgage-free homes with his partner Laure Ferrari.
Only two have been declared to parliament

Nigel Farage and his partner have managed to build a mortgage-free property portfolio worth more than £4 million over the past decade.

The problem with Today is not the race of the presenters. It's that they are chronically under-briefed. The advantage of having Mishal Husain was not that she was brown. It was that she was well-briefed. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
