Ah yes. They knew Mandelson was a security risk. Naturally, when the PM gave the traitor a job, everyone decided it was best not to tell him about the danger and let the security risk continue. Bollocks.

This 2011 tweet by Farage thanking Orban for helping 'us' undermine the EU hasn't aged well. It shows that for over 15 years Farage has been colluding with Orban and Russia to weaken the EU and undermine democracy. Let's be like Hungarians and vote to derail Farage's fascist bandwagon.

āPalestineās Mandelaā suffers three recent attacks including assault where prison guards set a dog on him, lawyer says Jailed Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti is at immediate risk in Israeli jails, where he has been attacked three times in as many weeks, including in one assault last month where prison guards set a dog on the 66-year-old, his lawyer has said. Barghouti is often called Palestineās Nelson Mandela. He is respected across otherwise feuding Palestinian factions, has broad popular support across occupied Palestine, repeatedly engaged with Israeli officials before his detention and long backed a two-state solution.
