Is populism a genuine movement or just an enormous hustle run by people in it for their own reasons? That question got the biggest response of the day at a packed Global Stage session at Hay, where Anna Foster from BBC Radio 4's Today Programme and I were delighted to be joined by well over 1000 of you! More on the data over on Substack:

In case you missed it... Great conversation with Andrew Marr at LBC last week, on the dark money network funding populist politicians. £173 million. Five years. Four donors, two based offshore. This is the dark money buying British politics, pouring cash into media companies, think tanks, and populist parties. The public has a right to know who is bankrolling our democracy, and the Rycroft Review is a serious step towards reining it in. Why Populists Are Winning - and How to Beat Them, is out now.

I asked the incoming Chair of Ofcom what he would do to help understand the role of dark money in media organisations. Listen to what he had to say. Taken aback? I was.

£3.5m profit a day globally. £1m a day from British taxpayers. A £1.8bn bill to fix a historic injustice. Fujitsu admits culpability in the Post Office Horizon scandal but won’t say how much it will pay. No figure. No provision. Just fine words about being “ethical”. Ethics aren’t slogans. They’re what you put in the accounts. Watch today's Business and Trade Committee session with Fujitsu, ministers, Post Office leaders - and #Horizon victims as we pursue our campaign for justice

Ten years on, I’m not sure people voted for what Brexit has delivered. The value of new trade deals? Around £14bn a year. The cost of Brexit to the economy? Closer to £180bn a year. In committee today, we confronted the gap between promise and reality — and why fixing Brexit now matters. With thanks to Paul Nowak from Trades Union Congress and all our witnesses for laying bare the challenge.

Cocaine and cannabis sold openly in high street mini marts. Prescription drugs handed over without question. And when the BBC went back to confront the dealers, Pitbull dogs blocked the door. This is organised crime operating in plain sight, and it needs zero tolerance, new enforcement powers, and action now. Great work by the BBC's Ed Thomas and team. Watch here:
