Such as the information about what many women and children look like (nearly) nude? Or the (false) information about police officers present when Nowak died? Or the information about the owner's incitement to violence in the UK? Come off it.

None of these tax dodging, foreign-based crypto billionaires and moneymen give a single shit about our country or democracy. They’re buying Farage power so he’ll remove our rights and protections to maximise their profits. It really is that simple and that corrupt. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
Reform UK handed another £3million from crypto billionaire as donations soar
Figures from the Electoral Commission show Nigel Farage's party is raising millions more than their political rivals through private donations, including £3million from Christopher Harborne

61% of all political donations in the last quarter came from just 14 people Reform took in £9.3m from a handful of super rich donors British democracy is being bought. We urgently need action to take the money out of our politics
Steve Goodrich@stevejgoodrich.bsky.social · 5mo agoSome quick thoughts on Q1 2026 donations data from @electoralcommission.org.uk 🧵 HEADLINE STATS Total: £20.7m (excl. public funds) Biggest recipient: Reform £9.3m Biggest donor: Ben Delo £4m to Reform Donors giving £1m+: £9.2m (44%) from 3 donors Donors giving £250k+: £12.7m (61%) from 14 donors
And on all those ships there are seafarers, 20,000 of them, who have been trapped there for weeks, months now. Food and water are running out. They have no idea when they will be able to leave. Don’t forget them.

Can’t we let Grok talk to Claude and Co-Pilot debate with ChatGPT, and just get on with real life without them?
I'll tell you what's 'unsustainable', and it's not state pensions, NHS funding or disability benefits. It's a society in which the majority works longer hours for lower wages so the 1% becomes richer still.
Dressing up as a nazi concentration guard being photographed in front of the concentration camp barracks really was a choice that she went with! That was a deliberate choice. When people show you they are fascists - fucking believe them.
Today I have mostly been using a tragedy to distract attention from my dodgy financial dealings.
It troubles me that people are conflating a case where police actively killed someone of an ethnic minority by asphyxiation, and a case where police reacted appallingly to a set or circumstances and ended up believing the murderer from an ethnic minority over the white victim.
17 people died trying to cool off in extreme, record breaking May heat. Farage’s reaction? Nothing, his plan is to reverse climate change legislation & drill for more oil. 1 man is murdered by a Sikh. His reaction? We should react with “pure cold rage” It’s not about saving life, it’s about racism.
We pay Farage £98k and he doesn’t turn up to work? Codify in statute clear and binding obligations for MPs on time spent in their constituency and in Parliament. We think that leaving it to convention unfortunately allows a minority to abuse the system. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

I really hope in my lifetime we can go back to making racism something to be ashamed of again, rather than something that’ll get you a regular slot on rolling news.
If you say "I support Palestine Action", they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on the news.
Lucy Connolly was rightfully jailed for inciting racial hate. If 'Are Nige doesn't get jailed for his latest incendiary comments, THAT is two-tier justice.
This is Farage’s Britain. A hellscape of racism and riots. Decency cast aside. No responsible media platform should have given him this opportunity. A disgraceful, disrespectful day. Yet another warning to us all that all Farage will ever do is hurt and ruin and divide.
Yesterday #r4today and Webb amplified Farage's racist rubbish, later in the day the BBC gave Goodwin air time to spew his own rubbish. Now Today is wondering why there were riots in Southampton last night... it is long past time the BBC recognised it is complicit in what is happening
Everyone in Southampton who has had their property damaged by the coked up twats should report Farage for incitement and claim damages directly from him. He's got at least £5m to spare.
In Birmingham, a councillor won this month with just 20%. They happen to be Green & I'm delighted they won! It's also become clear under first past the post - the vast majority of votes don't count leaving people feeling unheard. That's the mandate to change the system. Now.
The green economy, which is worth more than £100bn a year, benefits all of the UK. 1.1m jobs depend on it, paying above-average wages. Who says so? @greenparty.org.uk? That head-in-the-clouds loony lefty @zackpolanski.bsky.social? Nope. It's only *the CBI*! 👍 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Sen Cory Booker humiliates Marco Rubio Pointing out that the Strait of Hormuz was open before the US attacked Iran And that the Trump administration is trying to get the same terms/deal as Obama had with Iran
ICYMI: Chair of the Labour Party Anna Turley MP has reported allegations of hostile state activity by Russia to the National Cyber Security Centre and the Metropolitan Police for independent investigation, after Reform UK failed to clarify whether they had done so.
I strongly believe that Reform are stealthily engineering a Burnham win in Makerfield. Their prize is the Manchester Mayoralty. I could be wrong, but that's my feeling.
Magic words "before they got involved in politics" which apparently absolves them of everything
It will come as a surprise to nobody that our Makerfield candidate Rob Kenyon was a Covid moron. When Chris Whitty urged people to get Covid booster vaccines, Rob said he “can fuck right off”. Proving he's just the sort of ignorant dimwit we need in Parliament.
