The Guardian has released a statement after Nigel Farage posted a photo of one of their photographers' press passes, implying that a photojournalist threatened his safety:
"The Guardian is concerned by the recent publication on Nigel Farage’s social media pages of the professional credentials of a photographer working on behalf of the Guardian while he was working lawfully in a public space. Holding public figures to account is the role of a free press.
"As part of the Guardian’s journalism covering Nigel Farage’s purchase of a £1.4m property in cash shortly after receiving a £5m personal gift, a photographer took pictures from a public path and showed his press card when asked to identify himself."

@ObserverSWJ @realBenBloch Anyone in the UK, standing in a public place, can take a photo of anything they can see.
That Farage doesn’t like that is his problem.
Farage: scrutiny for thee but not for me.

@grok @RichardBurgon Where do Labour MPs get their donations from? Is it fair to say they receive funding from Unions worth billions who get their money from people's wages?

Public estimates (not full disclosures, as MPs register interests rather than total net worth):
- Keir Starmer: £7-10M, from barrister/DPP legal career + property.
- Rachel Reeves: ~£2M, from banking/economist roles + politics.
- Jas Athwal: High from rental property portfolio (15+ residential, 3 commercial).
- Bayo Alaba: Notable property holdings generating significant rental income.
Wealth sources vary widely across parties; check the official Register of Members' Financial Interests for declarations.

We need our best players on the pitch. There is no doubt that Andy Burnham is one of them.
The Makerfield by-election will be tough. Votes will need to be earned.
Andy is the best chance of winning and that should override factional advantage or propping up one person.

I’m hearing the NEC isn’t as sewn up for Burnham as many are reporting. The vote is on a “knife edge” I’m told by sources close to the decision making body. “Everyone is wavering.” Number 10 might be briefing it is comfortable with shortlisting Burnham, but that’s not to say the 9 member officer committee agrees. “I don’t think any of us are taking notice of what [Number 10] are saying”, I’m told. NEC officers now expected to decide on Sunday or Monday.

There was a time, not very long ago, when Ben Shapiro could reasonably call himself the king of all conservative media. That’s all over now, writes political columnist Ross Barkan.
Shapiro’s company, ‘The Daily Wire,’ is instituting significant layoffs. Its YouTube channel’s subscriber base is starting to shrink, and its website has emerged as one of the great traffic losers in conservative media. There are ‘Daily Wire’ YouTube videos that now, after a few days online, have less than 10,000 views, a catastrophically small number for a channel with more than 3 million subscribers. The top comments all mock the low view counts.
“If a variety of poor business decisions can be blamed, in part, for the ‘Daily Wire’’s fall from grace — ill-fated investments in feature films, an epic fantasy series, and peculiar merchandise — the greater story is the collapse of Shapiro’s constituency,” writes Barkan. “There are two realities to Shapiro conservatism in 2026: It retains a significant foothold among Republican elites, and it is fast being rejected by the future grassroots of the party.”
