Consistent with international law, FIFA determines that rules that apply to everyone else don’t apply to the US.

Farage was always master of the grift. Remember ten years ago when @carolecadwalla.bsky.social and I revealed his Leave EU team were in and out of the Russian Embassy in the run up to Brexit, looking for gold and diamond deals with the Kremlin? Farage must have known, and approved. Ten years ago

Hmm. There seems to a theme here… Close Farage aide George Cottrell arrested for crypto and wire fraud in 2016, close Farage aide Nathan Gill arrested en route to a Moscow crypto and politics conference five years later…. It’s not that cryptic in the end

Absolutely extraordinary story from the Sunday Times that is going to be very hard for Farage to deflect. "Nigel Farage secretly funded by convicted criminal" www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

We need this everywhere #nzpol!!

Channel 4 have commissioned a show about Nigel Farage: Location Location Location Location Location

Old BBC: The UK is a powder keg of racial tensions, most of it fuelled by a man who is receiving millions in funding from questionable sources. Shall we do a big inves- New BBC: NAH. Let's do another 'exposé' on a brown criminal who managed to deceive authorities and is running a vape shop. 😶

What infuriates me is that a) anyone who looked into Harborne knew this but only a big media house like Times can risk saying it b) UK govt won't investigate. They never do c) Our party funding system is wide open for this stuff d) There are loads of other ?s about Harborne that remain unanswered

Stock trades by President. The blatant corruption is just staggering

Teddy Roosevelt died on January 6, 1919.

ith allegations and suspicion rife that Farage and Johnson received a £1 million pound bung in an agreement for Reform to step down candidates in the 2019 GE, it’s good to know that If this was the case, then electoral law was broken and would be illegal and punishable.

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage is facing questions after only two of the five homes he and his partner own, worth a combined £4m, are declared on his register of interests [@thetimes]

We studied the New Zealand Taxpayers' Union for two years and identified five key findings about how they construct citizenship in Aotearoa. Swipe to see what we found — and why it matters for democracy here. Full report: buff.ly/MIayuwQ #NZPolitics #Aotearoa #TeTiriti #TaxpayerCitizenship

A new investigation alleges Christopher Harborne, now Reform's biggest donor and at the centre of the £5m scandal, was present at the secret Blackfriars meeting and on the campaign trail in Hartlepool the day Farage made the decision that delivered Boris Johnson's Brexit majority.

New Zealand's ageing problem is not too many retirees. It is too much untaxed land wealth. #nzpol

You don't hear politicians arguing that there's no point in casting ballots because you're just one vote! Why do they apply that faulty logic when it comes to national carbon emissions?

Summary of the Home Office Impact Assessment for Asylum Bill is hilarious (if it weren't so depressing). HO analysts say "basically no evidence to suggest *any* of these policies will work *even on their own terms*" (but will probably cost money). assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6a43e1...

Date yourself with a snap of your first ever computer

Nothing will satisfy anti-immigration campaigners. So we should give them nothing.

The publicly funded clean-up of the former Redcar steelworks has turned into a private windfall. Teesworks Ltd, 90% owned by two local businessmen, holds an option to buy the remediated land at £1 an acre. It’s now agreed in principle to sell 222 acres to AI firm Anthropic for £222m.

This is a big problem. If the last information people receive is always “numbers went up” because “numbers went down” is never reported we shouldn’t be surprised that perceptions about immigration end up so skewed. Media should take some responsibility here - this is a salient and polarising issue.

To repeat: NZ finds itself at the bottom of the OECD on lobbying - we basically have no effective rules governing lobbying This is eroding voter trust in democracy. It is corruption in plain sight NZ needs fair transparent regulations-any political parties ensuring this will get voter support

City centre upgrades take time but are worth it. It’s important to look back while focusing on the future. The team at the Auckland Urban Development Office knows how much I love before and after shots so they sent me these five images today to share. Vision and hard decisions.

Heatwave halts Reform bid to scrap climate emergency A council debate on scrapping West Norfolk's climate emergency was postponed after extreme heat made the chamber unusable | Henry Durand

I propose that we test leaving the ECHR by first removing ECHR protected rights from all Reform MPs, all Reform members & all Reform donors for a set period of no less than 5 years.

In the last month Nigel Farage has spent around eight times longer promoting gold bars for money (4 hours) than he has spent doing his supposed main job of being an MP voting in the House of Commons (just two votes, taking approximately 30 minutes)

TMZ DC with perhaps the most brutal video from Trump's Great American State Fair, showing Dr. Oz on stage bragging to Dean Cain about how big the crowd is, only for the reporter to pan around and show absolutely nobody is there. Original post: x.com/i/status/207...

Sack her, bin her policies, eject her into the outer darkness. The worst case of Home Office brain I’ve ever seen

Here’s a funny thing. I’ve just found a tweet from Jan 2020 asking what quid pro quo was for these peerages? In Part 2 of our series #HarborneReceipts Rupert Lowe alleges Tories offered them to Farage as part of a deal. Farage said he turned the deal down. But did he?

This is fantastic

This is genuinely appalling. So cruel to applicants, and also hard on staff who risk punishment for trying to help people in need. #nzpol

The Government is adding new policy to bills after public submissions close. That skips select committee scrutiny entirely. Recent: council voting (Watts), Teaching Council + homeschooling (Stanford — undone after backlash), foreign buyers (Stanford), Wellington heritage strip (Bishop). #nzpol

#NZpol On X, Jack Tame has posted – “Internal documents show multiple tiers of staff at MSD are being assessed on whether they keep emergency housing grants below the government's targets, and threatened with performance management if they don't.”

Easy job in the world? Writing political opinion in NZ papers. Here’s Thomas Coughlan with lazily stating that accelerating the energy transition would cost millions of jobs and create none. Shows us yr numbers Tommy. Seems unlikely, we have a tiny O&G sector, + wd need a ton of solar installers etc

Donald Trump Tweeted this picture of him holding all the cards in Uno. A game where you win by getting rid of all your cards.

Very good question from my GB News colleague. He may be surprised to know that Andy Burnham has spent more time in Makerfield since 18 June than I've spent in Clacton since July 2024.

Not content with trying to break the EU & ECHR, Farage also cofounded a group aimed at breaking the WHO. And would you look at that, it has links to the nicotine industry and doesn’t want regulations on vapes! As always with Farage, follow the money. He’s nothing but a political prostitute.

More of this please.

Looking at the most recent stats, there were over 18k people in all Home Office accommodation from either Afghanistan or Iran. Large numbers of people are not being returned to either country anytime soon. Granting leave to that group would cover around 90% of the hotel population.
