Bridget Phillipson: “Farage may succeed in his run-off against a bin, but he can’t run from the truth forever.”

Kemi Badenoch's Tories held young people back and caused the welfare bill to spiral. To pretend she's suddenly on the side of young people is frankly insulting.

A lot of what happened in that period was that there was a total failure to listen to women, to believe women – especially working class girls who were reporting unimaginable abuse but weren't taken seriously.

You can find more whitewash in this report than at your local B&Q. Nothing in it exonerates Reform or Nigel Farage from the serious allegations that they still face. They can’t run from the truth forever.

We live in a country where a woman is killed by her partner or former partner every five days.
