According to French gov agency Viginum, Israeli company Blackcore interfered in the Scottish elections by targeting SNP. I suspected the Labour party had commissioned this action. The refusal by UKgov to release these files only adds to my suspicions. www.thenational.scot/news/2645510...

First we have the Farage-attention-seeking-fanfare press conference to allow him to announce some steaming horseshit policy. Then we have the ‘why it’s steaming horseshit’ aftermath. But it’s already too late. Much like the filth pumped into our rivers and seas, our politics is hideously polluted.
Reform received more than Labour and the Tories combined last year - and £22,799,565.40 more than Count Binface did!
1/2 Newly released data exposes that the Israeli Foreign Ministry financed a £50,000 trip for Reform UK delegates, while key figures link the party directly to foreign state lobbying and arms interests. How can Reform claim to put Britain first when bankrolled abroad? 🧵

The funniest - and least discussed - aspect of this is that Farage, having reportedly told RefUK he'd only lead them if compensated for the £1m a year income he had outside politics, pocketed their five million, then kept earning from outside interests at the same rate anyway. He scammed even them.
Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social · 3w agoImportant, because Farage's defence for not declaring Harborne's £5m 'gift' has always been very specific: he did not decide to stand until 3rd of June. Turns out this deal was struck mid-May (confirmed by RefUK) and facilitated by Farage's other big donor, convicted felon 'Posh' George Cotrell. 🧐
Neoliberalism in a nutshell. UEFA on FIFA's proposal: “The moment external investors acquire ownership interests ... football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. ... Every decision is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.”

Earlier this week, Doctors Without Borders said, “This is not a ceasefire. It is a continuation of the genocide, calibrated to be violent enough to keep Palestinians suffering every day, yet silent enough to avoid stirring international outrage.”
At astonishing speed, our rights are being cancelled, worldwide. In the UK, the prosecution of Rajiv Menon KC is the latest example of blatant authoritarianism. Why? Because this is what billionaires and corporations demand. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Ten years ago today, England voted to remove Scotland from the EU. 96% of Scotland's MPs had requested that all UK nations should agree before #Brexit was carried. The Tories, with 1 Scottish MP, overruled this request. Brexit was a UK vote because England decided it would be.
