Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Good. This is an important victory.

It's a stain on our democracy for Michelle Mone to remain in the House of Lords. But it's even more important that the Tory ministers who set up the corrupt PPE VIP lane in the first place are properly and fully held to account for the scandal

Grace Blakeley is brilliant.

And here's an episode of everything from the economy to how to tackle inequality.

A huge conversation that's ultimately about power. And how do we organise & empower communities?

I found a people who are suffering a hideous injustice - but who have resilience and determination.
