You know how I keep saying the Times paywall is basically a rattling trapdoor over the demon realm? Well
We have analysed just how obsessed the media was with Jason Arday right up until his death.
We tracked 249 articles about him by UK media. 44 from The Times alone, 43 from The Telegraph, and the list goes on.
The nonsense the media was publishing about him was a perfect representation of how morally bankrupt legacy journalism has become.

This is my view too
"Behind the impressive tally of Reform's gains - likely to end up well over 1,000 - Nigel Farage should be privately worried.
In last year's local elections Reform won 41 per cent of all seats contested across England. On the basis of the overnight figures, this year's tally is around 33 per cent. If there were no polls, and there had been no elections last year, this year's figure would be astonishing. But we do have the record of recent polls and elections, and it seems clear that Reform has peaked."
