Daniel Tommy Dubai Robinson & Nigel Dubai Farage are happy to court wealthy backers from the UAE while telling their supporters to hate Muslims at home. That contradiction tells you everything. This was never about values or culture. It was always about money power and who they think is useful.

Tufton Street payee Coutinho - net zero is āincredibly damagingā. Says the Tory whose party trashed energy security. Labour plans net zero by 2050; she recycles the Ā£350bn scare story. Tories want Britain hooked on dirty, overpriced energy, while pretending fixing the climate is the danger.

Russia wants the EU to collapse because itās a military rival. It needs a pretext for getting rid of the EU that isnāt territorial expansion, though. So it advances the idea that the EU isnāt democratic (as if Russia was). The richest man in the world falls for it hook, line, and sinker.
