Reasons to be Cheerful - Nathan Gill imprisoned - Farage house confusion - Dozens Councillors sacked/resigned - Farage Racism accusations - Policy Chaos - Poll leads shrinking fast - DOGE collapse - Anxiety around Russia www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/vot...

I must have missed the wall-to-wall coverage of demands for an investigation into Nigel Farage's lies about being a racist Or about whether he knew Nathan Gill Or about who bought his house in Frinton

Sorprese? Assolutamente no! il nazista criminale di guerra vuole vincere al tavolino quello che non gli è riuscito in quasi 4 anni di una invasione che ha provocato morte, sofferenze e distruzione. E minaccia anche l’Europa di non toccare i suoi soldi sporchi di sangue depositati in occidente

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

His “peace plan” is a Russian wish list which requires Ukraine to surrender huge parts of their country and remain vulnerable to future Russian invasions. …and he’s mad they are not thanking him for it.

It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.

The UK is a strongly pro-choice country with 86% of Britons wanting abortion to be legal in all or most cases. But the US anti-choice movement has been investing heavily into campaigns in Britain, and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party seems to be support the interference.

Reform’s previous leader in Wales had been handed a 10 year prison sentence for being a Russian asset. Other prominent politicians happened to be making Kremlin adjacent statements at the same time, the question “why” should follow them around relentlessly.

“Did Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?” “Did you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?” You can have those for nothing, lads.

Demented. His polling is heading towards an all-time low.

I still have to keep asking when these corrupt politicians will be brought to account?

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

The most important European states as well as Japan and Canada reject the Russian-Trump 28 plan for Ukraine in its current form. They announced this in a short statement on Saturday.

Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.

“Brexit was a waste of money that, now more than ever, we simply cannot afford.” The political refusal to admit how badly they screwed us over with Brexit keeps us trapped in inevitable, snowballing failure. We can’t let them dodge this reality forever. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Waiting for the axe to drop on Gill insulates the government from any Faragist crap about being unfairly targeted. Although he’ll probably try it anyway. I don’t think this story is over.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.” It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

How many morally contemptible things does a person have to do before you disown them for good? Now apply that to a political party. I hope you're not saying there is a difference.

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

Why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself in jail if he had this much leverage of the one person who could give him a full pardon?

The stupidity of Farage’s latest ‘plan’ is staggering. Claiming they’d save British taxpayers money by ripping up international commitments and starting a trade war with Europe is the puerile foot-stamp of a party that uses prejudice as policy. Ruinous nonsense. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Chris Murphy on possible military strikes on Venezuela: "It's pretty clear it's just an effort to distract people from the rising prices and the Epstein scandal. No one wants a war with Venezuela ... and by the way, it's wildly illegal."
