Looks like they've finally realised that Reform UK is less a political party than an elaborate scam for Farage and his chums to make a few million. Sarah must be disappointed with her share of the money though. Perhaps she'll see if there's a better offer from Restore.

All those deluded people who think Trump is "pivoting" to help Ukraine, or close to helping Ukraine or even capable of being persuaded to help Ukraine--need to confront the reality that he is not helping Ukraine now because he chooses not to.

Just a reminder that since Laura Loomer announced her support for Ukraine, Trump has: 1) walked back a promise to let Ukraine build Patriots, 2) denied a ukrainian request for 300 PAC3s, 3) slow walked 400mil in congressionally approved aid for Ukraine. But the vibes were good!

The next time a climate change denier comes at you with that excuse:

Rod Liddle has died aged 66. If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all. I'm saying this, cos if Rod Liddle had lived by that principle, then he wouldn't have uttered or typed a single fucking word in his entire adult life, & the world would have been much better for it.

Since you ask, yes, climate change really is making wildfires worse (say 45 of 50 studies) interactive.carbonbr... Ofc, fossil-fuel emissions are not the only reason (also land management, arson, etc etc) But these newspapers are palpably DESPERATE to find ANY OTHER cause 🫠

Apart from the fact that Lowe & Farage probably couldn't work together, #Reform would lose most of their MP's if they joined forces on Rupert's terms. "former Conservative ministers who failed our country & our people in so many apalling ways must not be part of any future cabinet” #RestoreBritain

From far-right talking points to bizarre demands, these are Rupert Lowe's five conditions for cooperating with Nigel Farage

Fascinating change in BBC news bulletins about Reform. Farage announcement on small boats only gets the third spot and is balanced by critics saying he's trying to distract from allegations over his finances. Quite the change from the uncritical coverage earlier this year.

I can’t believe that Reform UK turned out to be financed by a bunch of money laundering fronts for Russia. It’s just so unexpected.

Nigel Farage struck a secret deal to return as Reform leader months before the election, and showed it to the treasurer in May 2024.So the man who claimed he “wasn’t involved in politics” and therefore didn’t need to declare gifts was already cutting leadership deals behind the scenes.😆

What the US government is doing to Dr. Fauci is the embodiment of what they are doing to scientific infrastructure overall.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

As though Farage has any worthwhile contribution to offer to the social care debate. Might as well ask my gerbil to answer the Schleswig Holstein question.
