If you’re wondering why UK press has suddenly woken up to Farage, please read this. It’s because: Brexit. The r/w press refused to scrutinise the money behind Farage & the lawsuit against me scared off the rest. But this isn’t a new scandal. It’s the same one I’ve been reporting on for a decade

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

🇺🇦💔 June was the deadliest month for Ukrainian civilians since the start of the full-scale war, - UN. In June, at least 265 civilians were killed and another 1,816 were wounded in Russian attacks. The strikes on Kyiv on July 2 and 6 alone killed 50 people.

"So that's Theft, Fraud, Financial Misconduct, Political Misconduct and Misconduct in a public office. That's just the EU. In the UK, all of the above plus Treason, Money Laundering and Tax Evasion. The list probably goes on but that's enough of a start. Criminal Filth." via Timothy O'sullivan

Who the hell does Farage think he is “addressing the nation”? And why the hell does he think he has the right to trample over a family’s grief and turn their tragedy into the Farage show? What a truly despicable, deeply racist little man. There can be no pride in a country where he has power.

If releasing your tax returns and the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

This is what Farage, Reform and Brexit have done. This is where a very ugly obsession with immigration leads. To this. To “appalling levels of racism and unfair treatment.” To ordinary people being made miserable, day in, day out, at work. What a shameful place to be. www.tuc.org.uk/news/shockin...

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

Let it be clear: you are wanted here.

We cannot let anyone forget this.

Farage received a £5Million bribe to stand for parliament in Clacton so that a crypto billionaire would personally benefit from him being in power. And Farage didn’t declare it. Then he lied about it. Corrupt AF. Just go straight to a criminal investigation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The more things change The more they stay the same.

The great irony of the Welsh success of Reform, run by millionaire ex-public schoolboys, is that one the greatest Welshmen, & founder of the NHS, warned of this “How can wealth persuade poverty to use its political freedom to keep wealth in power? Here lies whole art of Tory politics” Aneurin Bevan

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

Reform is a protest party. A protest against decency, integrity, kindness, expertise, and progress. It's a party of pettiness and hate, and it is made up of petty and hateful people from the grassroots to the very top. What it doesn't have is competence. So good luck with the bins and potholes.
