The very stable geniuses of British politics should not be allowed to forget their sycophancy towards Trump.

If you want to understand what is happening right now & what’s at stake, please listen to this conversation I had with historian Robert Kagan. Europe has to wake up FAST.

people often wonder why we have a cost of living crisis some seem to have forgotten Nigel Farage admitting before Brexit that Britain becoming poorer was a reasonable price for leaving the EU

#GeorgiaProtests Day 404! ✊🏻🇬🇪🇪🇺

Letter to the FT that stingingly sums up Brexit and the shit creek we now find ourselves in. A terrible idea (naive, prejudiced and uninformed) that has deeply divided us and left us poorer and less secure… but unwilling to face up to the damage we’ve done to ourselves. While the EU moves on.

Why Is the Government Really Refusing to Investigate Russian Interference in Brexit? bylinetimes.com/2025/12/19/r...

Day 388 of #GeorgiaProtests And still so many people in the streets! We demand new, free and fair elections, unconditional release of all regime prisoners, And international investigation into the use of chemical agents during November-December 2024 crackdowns! 📷 MOSE

A very large crowd today in Tbilisi on day 388 of nonstop protests in Georgia. The illegitimate, pro-Russian, repressive, corrupt regime must stand down. #GeorgiaProtests

1/ In Brussels, ahead of the start of the EU summit, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, in response to a question from Euroscope about what kind of support the Georgian people should expect, stated:

Finally, Starmer gets it right 👏👏👏👏 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

This is what’s known as blackmail www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is a very important milestone for eventual restoration of justice in Georgia. Actually, any and all crisis in Georgia stems from the June 2019 Gavrilov’s Night in terms of both timeline and consequentialism. Ever since that brutal crackdown, it’s one thing leading to another. 1/2

All reasonable, decent people & those with at least half a brain, know that Putin wants to divide & defeat Europe. He promotes far right loonies & other extremist views to enable this & destroy our democracies. Trump, Brexit, Farage, it is all Putin. This is a war. Europe needs to treat it as so.

Let’s appease the Far Right. I mean, this has always worked in history, hasn’t it? www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

Even as a Tory I must admit Reform MPs are devoted to serving their constituencies. For example Lee Anderson selling his ‘funny’ 30p football shirts in Ashdown & Nigel Farage’s outstanding work in Clacton. Oh & here is Richard Tice working hard in his constituency of Skegness. 📃

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Farage keeps on switching his story about whether he engaged in racist abuse as a teenager. What is little known is that in 1999, just before became a public figure he was using vile racist language, as can be seen in the Guardian screenshots below. Please repost, more people need to know this.

The date of Türkiye’s application to join the EU is now closer to the day Jean-Michel Jarre was born than it is to today. #day14118 🇹🇷🇪🇺

No.

Lasha Shergelashvili, the key witness in the BBC research into the chemicals use in Georgia, is by the way investigated for the forged "mass weapons confiscation" case related to October 4. The BBC investigation began 6-7 months ago. Coincidence?

One year of continuous, uninterrupted resistance #GeorgiaProtests ✊🏻🇬🇪🇪🇺 Down with the regime! Tbilisi now

Wave of people filled the streets tonight for the one-year anniversary of daily, uninterrupted, non-stop #GeorgiaProtests. It’s day 366 and the resistance is as alive as ever. Until the end, until the victory.

Long live free Georgia! One year of continuous protest! One year of bravery! #Tbilisiprotests #Georgiaprotests

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal. We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

Farage cited Enoch Powell as his political hero in an interview in Total Politics magazine in 2008. In 2014 he cited Vladimir Putin as the world leader he most admired. You want this guy as your next prime minister???

This.

So the line is that he wasn't getting paid for any of this

I agree with a lot of this, but not the conclusion. I doubt Zelenskyy could accept these terms without the population taking to the streets - they showed over the attempt to limit the independence of the anti-corruption agencies that they were willing to do so for much less. 1/2

Farage earns more than any other MP for NOT being an MP. He says it’s “obviously sad” that part of his constituency is the most deprived area in England. But everything he’s ever done, said and wanted has made sure of it. This is the whole country if he gets into power. (Private Eye)

Much gratitude to Marianna Prysiazhniuk and @euromaidanpress.bsky.social for this in-depth article describing it all about Georgia, also featuring my interview. Sharing with a little delay. Apologies. euromaidanpress.com/2025/10/14/u...

Despite mass arrests and rainy, windy weather, Rustaveli Avenue remains blocked for the 327th consecutive day. 🇬🇪 Around two dozen protesters are currently in jail for blocking the avenue. Repeated “offenses” can lead to up to two years in prison.

As a sign of solidarity with the German Ambassador and Finland’s Foreign Minister, German and Finnish flags are front and center on Rustaveli Avenue today. 🇩🇪🇫🇮🇬🇪

Well this is a proper head scratcher. But yeah, fiddling around with tax and getting rid of consumer protections should sort it. Wonder what those ‘former chancellors and prime ministers’ had to say about this shitshow. Any mention of Brexit at all?? (Times and Private Eye)

🇲🇩 Moldova, you’ve done it again. 
No attempt to sow fear or division could break your resolve. You made your choice clear: 
Europe. Democracy. Freedom. Our door is open. And we will stand with you every step of the way.
 The future is yours.

Russia's attempt to put one of its puppets into power in Moldova has failed. We must ensure it experiences the same failure in the UK.

Just to be clear: - Paracetamol does not cause autism. - Sadiq Khan is not introducing Sharia law in the UK - We do not have a massive free speech problem here. - Britain is not on the verge of civil war. These are not controversial subjects or contested, they're just not true.

We don't have a problem with immigrants, just those who aren't grateful We don't have a problem with immigrants, just those who aren't Christian We don't have a problem with immigrants, just those who aren't white... We don't have a problem with immigrants...

Regime prisoner Revaz Kiknadze and several others began drawing on white shirts with just a red pen. “Revolution for Georgia” and other similar calls dominate their drawings. #GeorgiaProtests
