This week, Stephen Lennon was found guilty of harassing two journalists. In the trial it was revealed that Lennon used a private investigator to access the journalists’ contact information - likely former MI5 agent Peter Keeley who spent 15 years undercover in the IRA. hopenothate.org.uk/lennons-s…

Hi Alex. This is a poster that can be used by anyone, such as elderly or vulnerable residents, who do not wish to have unexpected callers or be disturbed. At no point have we mentioned that Halloween can upset "religious or cultural" beliefs.

This from @reformparty_uk’s proposed crypto bill is dangerous nonsense. Govt has absolutely no business engaging in a speculative punt (crypto isn’t even a financial asset, as it generates no cash) like this, and UK reserves exist for purely precautionary reasons.

Also, "MailOnline tracked down Robinson's location after he posted a video of himself in the hotel's gym". He wanted privacy and security but couldn't resist showing off his lifestyle and disregard for the court. Hubris.

When you are totally owned by Richard Holden then you have lost. Farage broadcast his lies, on a live presser, on GB News, in the Telegraph And then is called out by numerous MPs with reality and fact

Six years ago, Yaxley Lennon harassed Byline writers Mike Stuchbery and Tim Fenton so badly that they eventually left the country. (He also promised to pay me a visit!) Anyone condoning these kinds of tactics doesn't believe in a free press. It's a license for thuggery.

Tommy Robinson has been found guilty - it is my view that the system has, again, treated him unfairly. We live in dark times.

A bit late with this: a second video of Mamoudou Gassama's climb makes it clearer than ever that the child was distant from the man on the adjacent balcony. Debunks @RaheemKassam's suggestion that the rescue was a hoax in which the second man held the child over the balcony.

How come (a) Raheem Kassam knows this is about the Farage investigation, even though that's not on the website, which says "the Commissioner will not publish any information about the matter" prior to conclusion; yet (b) you and other Reform MP supposedly didn't know about it?

Simon Heffer’s final pars in his review of Liz Truss’ new book. Of all the best examples of the Westminster unreality machine, where parts of the illiberal metropolitan elite and press build someone up clearly beyond their abilities, she was by far the worst. Zero accountability, of course.
