Farage: epic grifter

I love it when I look up a word I've never heard of on an online dictionary, and instead of it telling me what it means, it tells me it's different form of the almost identical word that I have never heard of. Thanks for that!

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Never mind the desperate people on Small Boats….this fucker has cost the UK way more £’s! 🔽

Unbelievable but true- when News UK were spying on @jacquihames.bsky.social and her family,they claimed it was because they thought she was having an affair. With her husband. The real reason? Maybe it had something to do with News UK reporters' alleged role in the Morgan murder cover up... #thehack

#TheHack The press - for years - tried to stop the truth of phone hacking from being revealed. Only 8 months ago, @thesun.co.uk finally admitted that they had commissioned illegal behaviour - despite denying it for over a decade. This industry needs regulation. tinyurl.com/bdfa9emp

#TheHack 70% of hacking victims were not famous. They were ordinary people. Victims of crime, terror, other newsworthy incidents. This was never about celebrities.

Bear in mind that Phone Hacking was only the (more benign) tip of the iceberg when it came to unlawful information gathering which included blagging, email hacking, burglary #TheHack

If you enjoyed #TheHack tonight here’s why the story mattered….

I like the pieces to Camera by Nick Davies (played by David Tennant) and - while an average punter my not understand the stakes - the sheer bravery of @arusbridger and the Guardian in 2009 was extraordinary #TheHack

ITV's drama #TheHack is a must-watch. A great series about the brilliant investigative journalist NickDavies' exposure of the phone hacking scandal. @sussexbylines.co.uk featured him in the first Defenders of Democracy series sussexbylines.co.uk/politics/dem...

2. Countries that have ID cards - like the whole of Europe - still have the same irregular migration problem (you may have heard!!!) & in fact the UK has the lowest share of its economy estimated as irregular economy in Europe so if it fixes the issue WHY DIDNT IT FIX IT THERE?

We can not stress the importance of resisting this. Share and sign this petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Small boats: TV coverage - day after day after day after day.... PPE scandal: TV coverage - let's stick this powerful, enraging documentary on at quarter past ten on a Sunday night.

Blur were amazing last night.

Just going to add my voice to the thousands wondering why Amazon is allowed to avoid paying UK tax, whilst Bezos enjoys his obscene display of wealth in Venice. A windfall tax on Amazon and their kind seems the obvious way improve finances, but they don't seem interested for some reason. Why?

I think the progressive parties campaigning in the local elections are missing a trick. I haven't seen anyone compare Farage to his pal currently destroying the US. The ghost of Christmas future is in plain sight.

Just deleted Twitter after a post by Space Karen about UK gun controls. What a toxic nerd he is.
