Steve Bannon has claimed that he’s the guy who “headed up” the “Peter Thiel deconstruct the administrative state part” of Trump’s 2016 transition team and that Thiel protege Blake Masters was his (Bannon’s) “wingman” in that endeavor. (It appears that Thiel has been pulling strings all along.) 1/

Nigel Farage in answering Nick Robinson's question about why he believes Britain is broken gave an analysis of falling net migration that is demonstrably factually inaccurate. "It is so broken and its declining so quickly that anybody with a dispassionate view can see it. It is quite interesting. Just look at the net migration numbers. 'Oh isn't it good net migration is coming down?' But do you know why? It is because there is an exodus. There is now an exodus.Those who are of a situation and a financial position to have a choice are now fleeing the country in numbers". This is factually incorrect. Net migration fell year on year by 465,00 in the most recent Official of National Statisitcs figures: the year to June 2025. This was not because of an "exodus" (an increase in emigration). It is because immigration fell by 401,000 (to 898,000 from 1.299 million the previous year). That accounts for 90% of the big drop in net migration. The increase in emigration by 41,000 was a minor component. Most of the increase in emigration was of non-EU nationals. British citizens made up a third of emigrants, but there was no significant increasse in British emigration, which was at very similar levels in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025: it is not a significant cause of the drop in net migration. Nick Robinson did tell Mr Farage that he was exaggerating the number of people who don't speak English - and BBC Verify did produce an analysis showing that was a five-fold exaggeration. But this central incorrect claim about immigration and net migration was not caught in the programme, or before broadcast. It should at least be scrutinised and corrected afterwards - so that an accurate account of why net migration fell (primarily a reduction in immigration visas to the UK) can be communicated to the audience.

I have asked the BBC to scrutinise + correct the factually inaccurate claims made by Mr Nigel Farage about why net migration fell in 'Political Thinking with Nick Robinson'

This is everything it should be - meticulously researched, deeply thought out, uncomfortably probing, scrupulously fair, AND ALSO outrageously entertaining.

This is how progressives should tell stories. An hour flew by.

This has tickled me immensely

I’ve never been one to advocate for violence, but I’d happily smash that smirk off his face with my fist. He’s a vile, pathetic, joyless little prick.

Interesting.

Candace Owens spills the beans on the Turning Point USA halftime show - it was filmed 2 weeks before the Super Bowl in Georgia with a paid audience ($250 each) of 180 people, 3-5 takes each per song. They were also told it was going to be someone bigger than Kid Rock performing.

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

America deserves better.

Perfectly put. Nice one

Bugger. Sorry, misread that totally without glasses! Apologies, first newsnight I’ve caught and enjoyed in yonks and Wednesday night edibles kicked in. Kaibosh crossroads

Are you talking about the sneering tit on the rhs of the sofa? Another of the prostrate ‘protect the rich’ limp dicks by the seems of. Sick of them.

What is it going to take?

Victoria Derbyshire is a discreet Legend! Thankyou for making Newsnight interesting again. Proper job👍

Rep. Jesús García comes out swinging: "You're one of the worst attorney generals in our history and an instrument of Donald Trump's lawless authoritarian agenda, and I'm glad the American people are seeing who you are."

Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.

Meet Hannah Spencer - Green MP candidate for Gorton and Denton, and the only vote to stop Reform.

Doubt it in all fairness…would’ve been part of Trumpfs trade deal discussions methinks

Let me correct this for you Reuters.

Nathan Gill pleading guilty and being sentenced to 10.5 yrs for accepting Russian bribes should have been enough to take down the party completely - but like Trump, they play by different rules.

If they were ever to reach govt they'd weaponise the rule of law against us, again just like Trump.
