Welcome to the Weekly Sceptic episode 90!

In a week full of political news, Nick and Toby talk about:

-Nigel Farage's decision to stand in Clacton and become the leader of Reform

-The many reasons Farage's shock announcement is bad news for Rishi Sunak, including the risk that he'll now have to contend with the Reform leader in a televised debate

-Whether Reform can replace the Tories as the leading party of the Right by 2029

-They then look across the pond to discuss Trump's conviction and ask what it is, exactly, he's been found guilty of?

And premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which this week includes:

-A bumper week for 'far Right' smears, what with Tommy Robinson's protest march, the knife attack by an Islamist at an anti-Muslim rally in Germany, and Jess Phillips's attempt to cancel Liz Truss for appearing on Lotus Eaters

-Peak woke, or, rather, Peak Pride, as they must learn to call it this month -What Toby intends to say to Owen Jones if they're ever on Question Time together

-And in the Based Department the bar-owner in Idaho who's declared June to be 'Heterosexual Awareness Month'
