63 h. ago The real Reform voters have been revealed – it’s a slapdash coalition Farage will struggle to hold together | Aditya Chakrabortty

This is no single bloc marching under one ideology, or even a mass of ‘red-wall’ voters. What unites them is a desire for something differentWho are Nigel Farage’s army, the voters who want him as our next prime minister? Few questions are as important in British politics. Were an election called tomorrow, the favourite for No 10 would be Farage, whose immigration policies are in some ways more extreme than those of the BNP were. His party’s role model for government would be Donald Trump’s US: Elon Musk-style cuts to our public services and masked agents snatching families off the streets.A few months ago, many in Westminster and across the country would have considered this a cautionary nightmare, a catastrophe that would unfold if Keir Starmer failed. But in the week of another red-on-red assault and after 150 opinion polls in a row topped by Farage’s Reform UK, it’s no longer a scare story. It’s the most likely prospect. Continue reading...

4 d. ago It’s the BBC v Trump, Farage and co. Who in their right mind would want to be its new boss? | Marina Hyde

Public life is a minefield and the best and brightest just don’t want to know. How convenient for foes of the most trusted news organisation in the worldListen, I hate to ruin a yarn wall but I don’t think it’s at all helpful to start framing the current crisis at the BBC as a giant conspiracy or coup by dark rightwing forces, and get stuck in the weeds of that. The fact is, the three mistakes that form the bulk of Michael Prescott’s explosive leaked memo about impartiality – the Panorama edit, issues with coverage of the transgender issue and bias in the BBC Arabic service – happened and are bad. Given their spectacular fallout and the highest-level scalps that have been claimed, the opportunity to now deal with them might as well be taken by what is, let’s not forget, the most trusted news organisation in the world.There is no news organisation in the United States that reaches more than 25% of people in a week. BBC News reaches 74% of UK adults in a week. There is vastly more dis...

Yes, there’s a country to run, but the social media platform has 30 million users in the UK. Can the PM afford to abandon them all to Nigel Farage?Marks & Spencer recently announced that it would start selling some of its beauty range through TikTok. It’s a no-brainer for the retailer: a beauty product is sold every second on TikTok Shop, and 25% of Britons say they will use it to buy their Christmas goodies. If you haven’t bought something that way, picture a cross between Amazon and QVC. There is everything from books and clothes to groceries and beauty products. The app has endless deals, discounts and bright red countdowns that encourage you to “buy now”. The items you see are personalised, shaped by the all-powerful algorithm. I’m trying not to be offended at how often it suggests I buy serums that are like “botox in a bottle”.TikTok’s struggles in the US are well documented, but in the UK it is booming.
