What I don’t understand is, if you thought that Professor Jason Arday’s academic work was questionable, the entire academic process is set up to enable you to critique it. That’s the way academia works. You don’t hound the people you disagree with, you dispute with them.

So basically, the plot of The Odyssey is:

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales.
Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37.
They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

Dear Donald Trump. I hear that the Daily Mail has revealed that you and King Charles are distant cousins, and you have said that you would like to move in to Buckingham Palace.
We have a much more suitable place to offer you. We call it The Tower of London.
