They aren’t elected.
They aren’t neutral.
And increasingly – they aren’t accountable.

BBC today correct Nigel Farage's false claim to Nick Robinson on Political Thinking (13th February 2026) that net migration was only down due to an "exodus" of people leaving the UK since 90% of net migration fall was a fall in immigration. After my 3rd complaint!

November 2020, a post from a #reform account, said; 'he' "had a "visceral" hatred for the NHS. The post reads: "The rancour that the pro-NHS folk have against me will never match the visceral hatred that I have for the NHS.

Two weeks that pushed Trump to the edge. Is his presidency unravelling? The president has opened fissures in his base by starting a war he couldn’t finish with Iran, stoking inflation and offending Christians. Barred from running again, he may feel he has nothing to lose
