So.... £2,485 on glasses for a PM was "sleaze rotting our politics to the core" but £72,000,000 in a single day for Nigel Farage is celebrated as hitting "the jackpot" and a "war chest..."
Whatever is happening here is happening in plain sight. You decide!

People like Zia Yusuf often say they don’t have a problem with immigrants, providing they integrate and contribute to the UK. Well here’s an asylum seeker who volunteers for local charities, served as a trustee of local schools, became a councillor in her local area and rose to lead that council, and is now seeking to become an MP for her home area - and that’s still not enough integration or contribution. It never will be because whatever she does, her real sin in the eyes of people like Yusuf is simply being from Somalia.

Robert Jenrick says Nigel Farage’s “sole involvement” in the donation investigation was to “have lunch.”
“You can't criticise a leader for saying thank you over lunch to someone … being polite is not a crime these days.”

Reform also have the highest number who would vote against them if they could. Under Starmer Labour actually topped this measure but since Burnham came in the number of “vote against” Labour has dropped, and by a much greater margin than their VI has risen: Burnham has both made Labour more popular and less hated.

Trust the BBC to kick off their bulletins tonight with Farage’s denial of wrongdoing. Once it would have been the corporation that would have broken the story of Farage’s wrongdoing, not reduced to putting out his version of events.

As far as I can tell Reform's Leader in Wales has been bumped off the list of speakers on the main stage at the conference.
They started late to let people into the venue, but Dan Thomas did not speak in the allotted slot in-between Lee Anderson and Zia Yusuf around 90 mins ago.

This is basically the message Starmer was *attempting* to deliver for two years. But, watching this, I’m realising just how badly he failed.
Burnham already found a better framing — and his team has the ability to make sure it cuts through.
Reform preach “law and order” until it’s time to practise law and order.
“Free speech” until someone says something they don’t like.
“Love our country” except they very clearly don’t.
