Oh what a tangled web they weave... Farage now admits he bought the Clacton house, having told everyone last year that his partner Laure Ferrari bought the house.

BREAKING: Reform UK leader Nigel Farage bought a £1.4 million property in cash shortly after receiving a £5m personal gift from billionaire donor Christopher Harborne, according to property records seen by Sky News.

This really is astonishing stuff. And it's quite the irony that it's being accelerated by the climate change denying Donald Trump inadvertently implementing the biggest carbon pricing programme in the history of humanity.

The great irony of the Welsh success of Reform, run by millionaire ex-public schoolboys, is that one the greatest Welshmen, & founder of the NHS, warned of this “How can wealth persuade poverty to use its political freedom to keep wealth in power? Here lies whole art of Tory politics” Aneurin Bevan

How infuriating to hear the chairman(?) of Asda on the Today programme implying that land use for solar farms might significantly hurt UK food production. It's nonsense. Golf courses use more than solar ever will & beef/lamb production is huge yet provides a tiny fraction of our protein & calories.

As @sundersays.bsky.social has exhaustively demonstrated, X repeatedly and systematically refuses to do anything about open Nazis and other extreme antisemites and racists making violent threats. Just pathetic the government/OFCOM refuse to act

Trump the messiah/doctor don’t need no science

I remember as a child being fascinated that ants were always on the peony buds in a garden on my walk to primary school. Sixty years later and I ask AI about it. Turns out it's a mutualistic relationship where, in exchange for extrafloral nectar, the ants protect the buds from pests. Nature hey!

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Hannan's tweet where he links to his creditable Washington Examiner article (about Trump going insane) has received *no* favourable engagement from *any* recognisable name on the British Right. No retweets, no favourable quote tweets. The only recognisable retweets are Bill Kristol and Navratilova.

A long thread but an enlightening read.

Q: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? TRUMP: I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do Red Cross. Only the fake news could come up with that one.

I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.
