The Return of 'Q'

Leader of the QAnon conspiracy theory appears to be back online.

QAnon is the conspiracy theory that claims Donald Trump has been waging war on a cabal of satanic paedophiles who stole the 2020 US election. Supporters of the baseless theory were among the mob that stormed the US Capitol in January 2021. After nearly two years of silence, the anonymous message board user who signed off as "Q", has posted again. Also in the programme, why Bristol鈥檚 mayor is facing a boycott of his press briefings by journalists.
