Reading Lesson



Nigel Farage to champion Lucy Connolly’s story in US Congress

Nigel Farage will tell Lucy Connolly’s story to key Donald Trump allies when he gives evidence at a free speech hearing in the US next month.

The Reform leader will travel to Washington in early September to testify to members of Congress about threats to freedom of expression in the UK.

He is set to bring up the case of Mrs Connolly, who was released from prison last week after being jailed for 31 months over a social media post.


There is no doubt that Nigel Farage has something Keir Starmer doesn't. Farage can read the mood of the people he needs to read, Starmer can't. Starmer can read speeches of course, but not very well.

Another talent Farage has in abundance is the ability to read and needle his political enemies, Guardian folk and the BBC in this case. Starmer struggles to tell friend from foe, although that should be particularly easy by now.

Easy - *everyone* is against him but they are manoeuvring to get the best for their own careers.
