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

Reform has ended up developing a brand of politics that will consolidate its base - but digust so many others as to rule out the prospect of power. Even coalition. My Times column on what we learned at its Birmingham conference:

Richard Tice on Reform’s £500,000 donor:- “My family have known the Cottrell family and the broader Hesketh family for 50 years, a very successful aristocratic family.” “This is about the establishment trying to kill off a disruptive political party”

The best thing about the Reform conference is The Spectator lounge, where I cadged a coffee as an alumnus. It’s still a tiny company, a few dozen people in all. It’s just amazing what a small team can pull off.

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....

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...

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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."

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.

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...
