Brexit: Why No One Will Pin the Damage on Farage
At 49:10 · chapter starts 46:20
Alastair frames the Brexit accountability question as one of the great unsolved puzzles of contemporary British politics: the three architects of Brexit were Cameron, Johnson and Farage; Johnson has privately conceded it hasn't delivered; yet Farage faces almost no electoral cost. Listeners ask why Labour won't use the weight of economic data against him. Cat gives two answers. First, Labour sits on a very shallow majority in many seats held by former Brexit voters, and the party is terrified of upsetting that coalition. Second, the Farage defence works: he campaigned for something, achieved it, and the people who ran it afterwards made a mess — you can't blame him for their failure [1] — Cat Neilan "It's actually arguably far better to push him on his record as a constituency MP now, or as the leader of a political party in Parliament n…" 48:50 . Cat adds a vivid detail: in Clacton, no one was talking about Brexit. The issues were small boats, potholes, dog mess, and e-bikes. Alastair concludes it may be more effective to attack Farage's current record as an MP than to relitigate Brexit.
GB News: Reform's Loss-Making Media Arm?
Farage holds shares in All Perspectives, the parent company of GB News, and doesn't declare it. By all accounts GB News is currently loss-making — yet it continues to serve as a platform overwhelmingly populated by Reform figures. Cat Neilan flags this as a major unresolved transparency issue.
