Mick Lynch on Nigel Farage: "He's going to unleash a torrent of racism & division.. putting us into the dark ages" ML calls out the Telegraph: "The Telegraph seems to be preparing itself to become a fully signed up affiliate of Reform & all the racism & disunity it will cause"

Excellent news. Better than forecast. We have a lot to do to get more cash into families’ pockets but this is superb.

On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours: “On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists. Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.” It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.

🚨BREAKING🚨 Keir Starmer once reclined his seat on a short-haul flight. In other news Nigel Farage has received a £5m gift, a house, helicopter flights, a Maldives trip and been accused of throwing an election for £1m. Here's Sam Coates with more on the reclined seat scandal.

Sensing real anger on here this morning. It’s not the press job to try and force a change of PM, set their own political agenda. Their job is to report facts, and articulate them in a way the public understands. There’s enough drama in the World, the country just wants normality.

Victoria Derbyshire runs through the timeline of the undisclosed £5m ‘gift’ by crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne in 2024 and ends by saying Reform declined the opportunity to talk discuss it on #newsnight Reform and Farage are afraid of scrutiny.

#polmids totally agree with the panel member who believes that the flags are designed to make minorities feel oppresssd. Not about celebrating the UK.

Laura Kuenssberg, "Nigel Farage was set to be here, but he he changed his mind" Does that have anything to do with his undeclared £5,000,000 gift?

🚨 Major FT investigation out today: *Reform UK ran a council for a year. Things went badly * After winning Staffordshire County Council in May 2025 (49/62 seats), the reality has been chaotic. 🤯 Leadership meltdowns, racism scandals, soaring complaints & a tax rise instead of cuts. Think 🤔 before you vote before you drive Reform UK to run your council.

Don’t blink, the ballroom that has gone from a ballroom in its initial plan, to a national security tool, now according to three GOP Senators, should also be paid for by the American taxpayers. All $400 million of it! There’s an election in 6 months. Vote them ALL OUT!

It’s really good news, this - and I’m also encouraged by the positive reaction from Europe (below is just one example). Maybe we’ve turned the corner and can finally begin to put the last decade behind us.
🇬🇧🇪🇺 Big step forward!! The UK will rejoin Erasmus in 2027. Thousands of UK students will once again head to Spain 🇪🇸 and across Europe to study, work and connect—building skills, friendships and shared futures. People-to-people ties are back at the heart of our partnership🤝
