Nigel Farage can't buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

The geniuses have checkmated themselves.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I notice that (owner of @lbc.co.uk ) Global's news coverage has, for two days, led with the Reeves 'story'. If they continue it any longer, I think we can safely say it's a Rayner-esque media witch hunt.

Wait a minute! I thought they were all normal, working class people you would meet in the pub and have a pint with? Multi millionaires you say?

Yes folks. Rub your bleary, disbelieving eyes, this is supposed to be a serious political party.

In fairness to the Telegraph, it's what they've been saying all along . . Oh (Aug 2024)

a) It's quite clearly he's worried about losing Rep support in the Capitol. b) The 'genius' is utterly clueless about maths. and c) His mental decline is speeding up.

The old norms on how treachery would be dealt with are long gone. It now depends on which newspapers you're friends with. Can you imagine the media leading with this day after day in the same way they did / are doing with Rayner and Reeves? No. Me neither.

Trump loves to use his position to line his and his family's pockets. So, any peace deal is obviously going to include property development for Trump in Moscow and / or Kyiv.

A quick reminder of who Nigel Farage was most concerned about when Putin's tanks first rolled into Ukraine

Oh God I needed this so much right now. Good old fashioned funny chaos and farce instead of constant depression in politics. Looking forward to them setting up their own rival parties. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

One of the worst things about the 21st C is that absolutely nobodies with zero discernible talent can video themselves and become 'influencers'.

I wonder if the next Den president can rescind Trump's executive orders and pardons on the basis of his clear mental decline?

This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

He’s so thick he can’t help embarrassing himself.

Reading about Your Party is the hilarious comic interlude amongst the continuous shitshow the other parties provide.

Happy Monday

I wonder if one of the 111 pages included a line of "I'm the only person who can keep you and your family safe"? Plus - don't you have to be convicted before you can be pardoned?

Any news from the WRU AGM? Did Reddin and Collier-Keywood use Saturday's humiliation as a reason why we must ditch one of Wales' most successful clubs?

Word

I have a very considered opinion on this...... EPSTEIN!!!!!

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform. The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.

Reddin is demonstrating the kind of competency you'd only normally find inside a Reform led council.

I'm beginning to wonder if he's a foreign agent with orders to destroy Welsh rugby from inside. Then I remember the WRU have been doing that for years.

DT "Hey Vlad. My poll ratings are going down. The Epstein thing won't go away, and I'm becoming an irrelevance to MAGA. If you want me to keep helping you, you've got to give me some advice" VP " Kras, just copy what Bibi and I do. Start a war and keep it going for as long as you need to"

I wonder if the Met will wheel out their patented excuse of " We can't investigate as it happened in the past"?

@gwladrugby.bsky.social Was speaking to someone who has a very good knowledge of the WRU yesterday. He said if even only one member called for the AGM to be void on the basis that the requisite time period hadn't been met for the annual report, they would have to reschedule.

More great work from Will. I fear we'll be royally screwed if Reform get in next year. I also fear that many in Wales don't have the criticall thinking skills to ask "Why haven’t you got a leader? How are you going to make things better? What are your policies?".

Excellent. Go after Farage's entourage one at a time. Worry Farage that his time is coming which results in either him getting arrested or he makes up some nonsense about "The accusations have taken too high a toll on me, so I'm standing down and going to live wherever I can't be extradicted from"

Wouldn't surprise me if they were all in the pay of Russia. If you'd spent most of your life watching Russia during the cold war, then under Putin, there's no way you would consider Ukraine the bad guys. p.s. why was Gill holding his phone to Coburn? Recording the speech to show to his handler?

Takes a few seconds and this is definitely needed so please do your bit. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Terrible article all round, USA haven't been at every RWC, they've missed two including the most recent. Reads like it's written by someone who's never heard of rugby before.

Honest to god. The hyperbole on this headline is cosmic. A more accurate headline would be "Wallabies hope to secure second place in the group" Rugby World Cup draw: Springboks get pool of death - Ruck share.google/sKeQnGyVwV3e...

We need another tactical voting website for the Welsh, Scottish and local elections next year. Reform must be kept out.

God damn immigrants.

Ouch

Turns out the head of comms for Reform called me a c**t. It's not often I agree with them but fair play they were bang on money with this one. Full story: nation.cymru/news/reform-...

Putin needs continuous war in the same way Netanyahu does. Without it people will start to force questions about their political existence. If Ukraine ceded territory to end the war, Putin would move on to Georgia or the Baltics.

That's very good.

I'm at my in-laws and having to watch the BBC on the budget. Chris Mason is desperately trying to make it look like Reeves is only placating her back benchers. He even manged to make "the top 10% of earners will shoulder the biggest burden" sound like a bad thing. p.s. Badenoch acted like a loon.

This petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy already has over 30,000 signatures. Let’s get it to 100,000 this week. Please sign and share 🙏 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Oh shit! Won't somebody think about all of those English who said they'll never visit Wales again because of a tourist tax?

Farage put Banks up as Reform Candidate for West Country Mayor. Oakeshott is Dubai Dickies partner now but she was in no doubt that Banks was under the influence of the Russian State, begs the question what has Banks got on Farage ?

Mind boggling. Not the prospect of Farage being a Russian asset. But Starmer's response. He should've been directing MI6 to hunt down any Russian assets on day 1 of his No 10 tenure. I may be doing him a disservice and he has done that, and is catching the traitors 1 by 1. But it's doubtful.

Farage a Russian asset - not supporting Ukraine - sold Brexit?

If it walks like a treasonous snake and talks like a treasonous snake......

Farage truly is an evil person.
