Different politicians and different parties seem to be judged by different standards.

And Farage is clearly judged by a wholly distinct set of expectations to Kyr-Stama.

There's an alarming, I find it alarming, there's alarming reality that if you ask younger people,

are they in favour of

autocracy, then increasingly they're saying yes, they are. I know there'll be people who

disagree with Palestine action and will say they deserve what they get. Be careful what you

wish for.

Hello and happy Sunday, everybody. Happy Sunday one and all.

Hope you're all having a good weekend in this crazy world of politics. Busy times. Busy times.

Let's steam into the two-mats Q&A brought to you by the subscribers of the New World

magazine. Let's steam straight in with first

question from Maggie in Sheffield. How has the story over Nigel Farage accepting a secret

five million pound gift devolved into the red herring question of parliamentary regulations?

This is missing the point. The point is that Farage has no moral compass, is utterly untrustworthy, and is a total charlatan.

Anybody who thinks a cash gift of five million pounds doesn't come with strings attached is a total fool.

I think this is a great question that strikes at the heart of something very important.

So obviously I'm glad that Daniel Greenberg, the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner, is looking into this outrageous gift that Christopher Harbourn gave to Farage, 5 million quid, by an amazing coincidence just before he announced he was running for clacton

right he hood a thought um and you know he says it's to cover his personal security costs what

i mean the regular the the system that will happen now is if greenberg discovers that it's been

a serious breach it will go to the Committee on Standards,

and then they have a variety of punishments up to an including expulsion from the Commons.

And, you know, theoretically, he could lose his seat.
