BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

New in PN: The plot against Ukraine (and Europe) "Trump’s open effort to join nations like Iran & North Korea in aiding Putin’s murderous assault on Ukraine is nothing short of disastrous & will leave a lasting moral stain on the US. But there may be something of a silver lining to this dark cloud"
