It’s all been blown out of proportion.

Ryan Walters, Oklahoma’s Republican State Superintendent of Public Instruction, is under investigation after he was allegedly caught streaming pornography on his office TV during a meeting of the state Board of Education.

Oklahoma’s Senate President Pro Tem Lonnie Paxton (R) confirmed in a July 25 statement that the state’s Office of Management and Enterprise Services is leading an inquiry into the incident, according to The Oklahoman.

The outlet, along with Oklahoma media nonprofit NonDoc, reported Friday that Oklahoma State Board of Education members Becky Carson and Ryan Deatherage said they had seen images of naked women on a television in Walters’ office during the closed-door executive session portion of a July 24 meeting.

Carson and Deatherage said that Walters, who drew bi-partisan criticism in early 2024 for appointing anti-LGBTQ+ hate influencer Chaya Raichik to Oklahoma’s library advisory committee to remove supposedly “pornographic” books, neither apologized for the incident nor mentioned it further.

A Reform UK election candidate standing in the postponed North Northants Council (NNC) election for Higham Ferrers could trigger an immediate by-election if he wins the seat after he moved to China.

Alan Beswick had been on the ballot paper as one of the two Reform UK candidates for the May 1 elections but, due to the death of Liberal Democrat John Ratcliffe just before polling day, the election in the two-seat Higham Ferrers ward was postponed until June 12.

Names of four nominated Reform candidates were submitted to NNC’s election team. A party spokesman says Mr Beswick’s circumstances changed but they were unable to remove his nomination.
