Farage is rather obviously being protected by the media.

It's going to take more than just Byline Times and Private Eye to really open it up. And it's pretty damn shaming to the craft of journalism.

Iโ€™m backing @lucympowell.bsky.social for Deputy Leader of the Labour Party.

Silencing Mockingbirds Reading is resistance
