Lesson learned from years in telly - it's infinitely easier to make an exciting-looking teaser or press release for a new series than it is to make that series into a subsequent hit. A teaser is looksmaxxed by lack of sustained contact with the public.

Could Farage be forced into a by-election?
Two investigations into his undeclared £5m gift.
The Electoral Commission
Parliamentary Standards Commissioner
If as result, he is suspended from the Commons for 10+sitting days, petition signed by 10% of constituents can trigger Recall and a by-election.

you may scoff but all it’s taken for Nigel Farage to reach this point is nothing more than a mostly uncritical if not supportive press, endless air time, and lots of interesting donations

Celebrating Sir David Attenborough at 100 feels like celebrating the Earth itself.
A century of life spent not chasing fame, but expanding human wonder - teaching generations to look closer, care deeper, and understand that nature is not “out there,” but home.
Thank you, Sir David. 💚🦋🎥

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

Do the laws not apply to the rich and wealthy? Kleptocracy? Quid pro quo. Bribery. You name it. All of this is wrong and illegal. Shameful.

There’s no “accused” about it - a politician being handed £5m IS a conflict of interest. Accepting such a gift is an open and shut case of not being interested in, let alone fit for, public service www.ft.com/content/6a56...

Victor Orban the original "spin dictator" has conceded defeat. The far right around the world have looked to Orban as the model. Trump and Vance interfered again and again to try and prop him up. Clearly the people in Hungary want nothing to do with Trump.
This is a great day for democracy.

Reform UK’s candidate in Westminster James Bembridge RTd a false allegation against Peter Jukes.
He then issued a hasty apology in the face of legal action. Seems James has just deleted it, scrubbing his social now he’s a candidate.
