Interesting old Ch4 clip, where Farage says he had never promoted religious or racial politics. At the time, he was right.

The 'Rhodesia Solution': How to use word tricks to 'disclose' a scandal to a Prime Minister while allowing him not to act. And to say, later on, that he wasn't really told...

Until about a year ago, Farage regarded mass deportation as an extreme and (most of all) unworkable policy. Now, Zia Yusuf talks about deporting up to 2m and sending them to places that didn't vote Reform. The party is evolving fast.

"Are there any other multi-million pound gifts to Nigel Farage that we don't know about?" Reform's refusal to report what Farage calls "personal gifts" means journalistic inquiry is the only method of transparency on funding....

How did Farage - who used to complain about being "skint" - find £225k to "invest" in a Bitcoin company? We now know: a £5m tax-free "gift" from a Thailand crypto king. Which raises huge questions about the methods Big Crypto is using to buy influence...

Interesting. Jenrick says Reform is not proposing a ICE for the UK and will deport in “a British fashion”. His party pledges to track down and deport up to 2m, with dozens of camps built in places that didn’t vote Reform. Nothing British about it.

So far, Christian leaders have been absent from a debate, led by politicians, about the place of faith in public life. So good to see the Bishop of Kirkstall give his perspective.

Immigration is now back under control - and could hit net-zero in 2026. My hunch: that those concerned about immigration will not welcome this news (see comments below). It ruins a story of failure. But can Starmer counter with a story of success? I discuss with Kate McCann on Times Radio...

Reform isn't just a party - it's a business empire with unprecedented financial links to crypto and media. To many, this is fine: a new party with a new power base. To others, it's illiberal democracy in the making. At very least, we need the debate:-

London crime: fear vs data. It has big problems - like any city. But our nation's capital is cleaner, calmer and safer than perhaps any time in living memory.

Perhaps the most extraordinary interview in my Ch4 film "Britain's Benefits Scandal" is with Gavin, a taxi driver. He asked DWP to come off sickness benefits because he was better. No, he was told: wait to be "reassessed." Three years later (!), he's still waiting .

Another sensitive topic for Farage would be whether Jenrick should hold a by-election. His test (pre-Kruger) was a moral one: that it's "dishonourable" to switch allegiance without seeking a fresh mandate from voters.

Once, Nigel Farage had a very principled stance on defection. MPs who switched sides should seek voter approval, in a by-election. Failure to do so epitomised elite disdain, he said. "You the voters are just useful to them every few years. It's all about them."

Times Radio delivers a quality of interview that you’d struggle to find elsewhere - and gets better all the time. Stephen Sackur, the latest to join, is a great example.

The OBR report is changing the debate. It spells out that 75% of “employers” national insurance will be borne by workers via lower wages. Reeves’ line - that employers are paying and workers somehow are not - becomes impossible to sustain…

To reform welfare, make assessments less open to abuse. Listen to former assessors. Like Sarah, an ex-Army nurse. She told me the internet is full of how to game the phone interview. You can 'pass' by saying key words that (as claimants know) trigger a full award...

Some welfare reform can be immediate - like removing warped incentives. DWP assessors paid are £80 for every extra sickness benefit claim they approve. The only way to speed up (or 'curtail') is to recommend the full award. Interview over: next case! The success rate is now 80%, twice what it was in 2010. Here is Michael, an NHS nurse before he was a DWP assessor, on his concerns about the process.

Theresa May intervenes rarely in parliament, which gives her points all the more force.
