News Roundup: Tucker and Algebra, plus The Kirkaversary, and This Month in UK Fascism

Daniel talks about some recent stories, including the even sillier (and nastier) stuff behind that silly clip of Tucker Carlson saying algebra is fake, and the recent Kirkaversary.

Jack presents a report on This Month in UK Fascism, surveying the recent issues surrounding Nigel Farage and Reform UK, the Dover 'protests', a small village's declaration of independence, and what links them all up.
