What does "legitimate" even mean here? The Electoral Commission found massive breaches of electoral laws. It was the biggest case of electoral fraud in at least a century. And that's *before* considering question of Russian interference.

I keep reading that 'nobody should be forced to pay for the BBC'. Meanwhile, I'm forced to pay for the royal family, nuclear weapons, religiously-affiliated schools and the House of Lords.

Well, it’s a quick take, and no doubt data will come in, but it sure looks like based on today’s evidence that a lot of pro-Trump and pro-AfD bot work depends directly on Russian data centers.

And this is *exactly* why we need independent journalism, folks. And the only hope of that is if people pay for it. This is not news, it's propaganda.

I can’t remember being more disappointed by any politician. @andyburnham needs to abolish the House of Lords. It’s a vector for corruption. Because that’s what this is. A pay-to-play capture of a UK lawmaker by Silicon Valley’s worst firm.

I have a theory. Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne are not stupid. When they each announced £36m donations to Reform, they will have known about the already published proposals that could make those donations impermissible once the legislation takes effect retrospectively. So what if Reform was never expected to keep the £72m? What if the point was to make two deliberately unprecedented donations, wait for the Government’s pre-existing rules to catch them, then scream “corruption” and claim the establishment had changed the law to stop Reform? It would manufacture exactly the phoney conspiracy and outrage Reform thrives on, just on an unprecedented scale. Maybe the extraordinary size of the donations wasn’t incidental. Maybe it was the entire point?

I met Julia Hartley-Brewer when we were both 18. I don’t know how she got to where she is but the idea that revelling in a suicide on a microblogging platform as a career move was just not something that occurred in 1988. I feel so lucky to have come of age in that world not this one.

Once again BBC News prepares to broadcast a Reform UK press conference They don't do that for the LibDems or the Greens And you have to wonder why our national broadcaster is doing so

So the allegation of plagiarism in his PhD was investigated and dismissed. It turns out he did run all those marathons. So tell me, precisely, all you online sleuths — what exactly did Jason Arday do wrong? (Apart from being the wrong class and colour of course)
