Farage is the tiger who came to tea. He is not powerful but he is also not harmless. As Campbell said earlier, he doesn’t solve problems, he uses them. He is the existential threat to the U.K. that Trump is in the US.

Through my childhood, on election nights, my dad was the man under Peter Snow’s desk putting interesting facts on notecards into his socks. That’s how it was done before Google, kids. You got a very clever ASD man with some Oxford degrees to just remember interesting constituency histories.

A huge thank you to @thespoilist.bsky.social for giving this a home after the end of From The Sublime.

One of my colleagues did rich-teaching for a bit and told me the main difference was appearance - she & pupils were expected to wear specific clothing and hats etc with fairly complex strict rules and it was massively important.

to frame this story as something like, "there's mystery here, the victim of abuse maybe have actually been consenting!" is manipulative at best and imho a moral failure on the producers / editors of this doc

Just seen ostensibly left wing* people here saying that Sunak deserves no sympathy over racist attacks on him because he’s chased Reform’s vote, and no. Just no. If your anti-racism is contingent on someone’s politics it’s not a principle, it’s a weapon, and not anti-racism at all. * white, obv.
