I’ve flicked over to @channel4news.bsky.social about half a dozen times, and each time it’s the leader of Welsh Reform speaking, not the other 4 (5?) candidates.
Is that just bad luck on my part or is it just typical of loudmouth Reform candidates and the challenge of moderating them?
Boris Johnson didn't pass vetting when Theresa May appointed him Foreign Secretary.
The media must have missed that one.
The centre right former president met with the radical left Mayor and they didn’t talk about Biden or landslide elections fake news or auto pens with 4 year old children.
Isn’t that a relief?
Former President Barack Obama met with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani for the first time Saturday, joining preschoolers at a child care center for a book reading and singalong.

If you ask me, Sen. Jon Ossoff is sounding more and more like a potential 2028 presidential candidate.
NEW: Richard Tice failed to pay almost £100,000 in corporation tax, benefiting his investment company which made large donations to Reform UK.
First time Reform's deputy leader's tax affairs can be directly linked to finances of Nigel Farage's party.
When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.
Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform
It doesn't take a forensic accountant to work out whose interests Nigel Farage really serves
Richard Tice deputy leader of Reform ran four shell companies which did not pay any tax on profits between 2020 and 2022.
He's now offering to "put things right".
Go on then Richard - resign.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Here in Spain, we are approving and advancing a process to regularise half a million immigrants.
“And I want to say to the Right and the Far Right who oppose this: Spain is the daughter of migration and will not become the mother of xenophobia.”
Of course exploitation needs to be addressed but wow this was not the way to do it. Genuinely concerned for all the people working hard in immigration advice and for migrants who are already subject to suspicion/danger/anger/racism. It’s a mess.
The quote by Tory MP Robbie Moore actually says it best - even in loving relationships this is being used. Because people otherwise risk being removed or paying fees that push them into destitution.
The people who will be hurt by this are domestic abuse survivors and LGBT+ migrants. The narrative through these investigations is going to lead to increased hostility.
The BBC undercover investigation into false immigration claims is deeply irresponsible journalism. It does not highlight that exploitation by unregulated advisors occurs because legal aid was cut and the system is insane to navigate.
People in the most deprived areas are now spending less than 50 years of their lives in good health Graphic: Years expected to be spent in states of "good" health and "poorer" health by sex and deprivation decile, England, 2022 to 2024
People in England’s most deprived areas spend less than 50 years of their lives in good health, a 20-year gap compared with those in the richest areas

‘People living in the 20% most deprived areas in England are almost twice as likely to be admitted to hospital due to infectious diseases than the least deprived.’
Health inequalities are structural and interlinked with social factors such as poverty, housing and employment

Nigel Farage is making a habit of becoming really quite unpleasant when he’s asked probing questions by female journalists.
Orbán controlled 80% of the Hungarian media and still lost.
That’s one hell of a beating
Orban owns the media. He controls the information environment. He rigged the electoral system to make defeat next-to impossible. The govt of the most powerful country on earth tried to bribe Hungarian voters in his favour. It didn't work.
Whilst I very much don’t want to look at everything globally through the lens of British political culture, I also want to point out that Matthew Goodwin was getting paid a lot of money by the Victor Orban led government and highly likely he won’t be from now on and that’s y’know very funny?
