Reform UK Ltd gets 92% of its funding from climate change deniers and fossil fuel corporate interests, provoking negative reactions | Mark Cunliffe @markcunliffe.bsky.social @centralbylines.co.uk

Oh, and another thing: let's make sure Farage stays nice and tightly tied to his chum Donald...

International fascism is a threat to freedom everywhere. Putin, Trump and Farage represent the same evil virus.

The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump, Farage or their cheerleaders at GB News. Keir Starmer needs to stand up to Trump and defend our BBC, to keep it strong and truly independent.

“The Far Right doesn’t stay within borders. It’s at work everywhere and it works in sync. The strength in one area magnifies the strength in another. It’s a global threat.”

Gibb needs to be investigated by as many journalists as possible. I once knew him, unfortunately. As right-wing as you can be, shamelessly devious & deeply unpleasant. “Links with the Conservatives” doesn’t begin to explain how deeply he is intertwined with them www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Daisy Cooper, "If we're going to have an honest conversation about tax, let's also have an honest conversation about growth" "Brexit has been a disaster for this country" "Brexit has wrapped up small businesses in red tape" "For growth.. A UK-EU Customs Union"

In 2019, we did something transformative: we set up a specialist Violence Reduction Unit to intervene and take a preventative approach. The impact has been huge ⬇️

Is this the “government efficiency” Putin’s pet Farage and immigrant’s son Yusuf won’t shut up about? Reform UK’s Leicestershire circus blew £1.4m on a “savings review” that’s ballooned to £30m - a refuked priced farce confirming they’re skint. Reform by name, robbery by nature.

Interesting career path - Waitress > Becomes leader of a Eurosceptic think-tank > commits fraud on a grand scale. Although Farage met her in the waitress era, I'm sure he had nothing to do with it...

Nathan Gill will be sentenced on 21st November for 8 charges of taking Russian Bribes. It’s essential that the European Parliament carries out an investigation in to UKIP, Brexit Party and Reform UK and their connection to Russia. Investigation now! #InvestigateReformUK #ReformRussianBribes

The net might be finally starting to close around Nigel. Let's not forget, he had to repay half his MEP salary after being caught misusing EU funds to get his UKIP party set up. www.euractiv.com/news/belgian...

Where is the news about his partners organisation getting money from fraud? What’s happened to the story about the house she bought in Clacton. Where did the money come from. Nathan Gill’s Russian money? Another story forgotten.

Idea for someone who is far more media savvy - 2min dive into the UK before Farage started getting his way? The opportunity to live in 27 different countries regardless of wealth or status, strong NHS, cohesion & free trade with 500 million. @zackpolanski.bsky.social / @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

The BBC is the last thread of unity in the UK. The only broadcaster that can produce shows with massive reach featuring members of the public from all cultures that we can all bond over at work, at home, in shops, in the pub, in taxis, on the street. Farage fkn hates that. It ruins his narrative.

Trump demands to remove mentions of Ukraine’s territorial integrity and condemnation of Russia’s occupation from the UN resolution.

Robbie Gibb is clearly an inside man working to either bring the BBC to heel or bring it down. It's incredible to me that he's still on the board when he's such an obvious threat to the corporation.

Whole fucking thing makes me sick to my stomach. An abject fucking liar, a man who lies as easily as he fucking breathes, threatening an organisation which strives for truthfulness. And plastic patriots like the Mail and Farage urging him on. Jackels.

Fun (or not so fun) fact - the author of the “BBC bias” memo is a lobbyist for the American Pharmaceutical Group. U.S. pharma companies recently threatened to abandon the UK unless the NHS pays more for its medicines. They also donated millions to Trump’s campaign and inauguration

He also lobbies for U.S. Big Tech companies that have donated millions to Trump

🔴'BBC Bias’ Memo Was Authored by Lobbyist Tied to Pro-Trump Tech Giants The leaked memo that fuelled Trump’s attack on the BBC was written by a lobbyist at a firm paid by US tech giants tied to the President, reports @nafeez.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/b...

Quisling

There's always one.

Ladies and gentlemen, Sir Robbie Gibb, the BBC Board Member with the impartiality remit

Be absolutely clear - Russia is fully involved in Trump and Farage's assault on British democracy. This is not about the BBC. It is about an orchestrated international fascist attack on democracy. The failure of the BBC is that by promoting Farage it has aided the enemies of truth and democracy.

The disturbing escalation of the assault on the BBC should be alarming to anyone who cares about truth, accountability and democracy. Influential board member, Robbie Gibb, former GBNews adviser, Brexit endorser and previous owner of the Jewish Chronicle, is orchestrating this assault from within.

That renowned and respected lover of truth and journalistic integrity.... THE KREMLIN.... has stepped up to defend Trump in his battle against the BBC. SO that's Farage, Netanyahu, Putin, and Boris Johnson...

But the human mind cannot but recoil at the facts; wealthy Europeans paying to murder civilians, starving children, women, seniors. Hunting them, for sport, for pleasure. Words fail to capture the utter, unconscionable depravity of such actions, and of the creatures who would partake of them.

The horror of the aggression against Bosnia: "Prosecutors in Milan have opened an investigation into Italians who allegedly paid members of the Bosnian Serb army for trips to Sarajevo so that they could kill citizens during the four-year siege of the city". www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

I agree that the BBC should apologise to Trump for being misleading. Right after Trump apologises for the 30,573 false or misleading claims he made during his first presidency, or for each of his current daily average of 21 new lies per. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_o...

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Another alliance between Trump and Putin - and Farage and Johnson back chanting in unison with the Russian Embassy. Just like old times!

Everything Farage has instigated & pushed for has been a disaster for the UK. He’s a traitor of the highest order. We’re now in a divided, bitter, isolated & poor country of his making. Of course he wants to torch the BBC, it’s a valuable British institution. Putin must be over the moon with him.

This does feel like key information tbh. Wonder why budding tyrant Donald Trump would want to muzzle a trusted independent news source 🤔

If you needed a reason to block the sale of ITV to Sky's American owners, this is also it. Trump & his UK cheerleaders such as Farage, Charles Moore, etc., want to turn our country into a supine vassal state of Trumpton. The British media is far from perfect but we need to maintain our independence.

I've always felt that Johnson and Farage put self-interest over the national interest - hence their dallying with Putin and his oligarchs. But directly colluding with a foreign government to take down the BBC feels like an act of supreme treachery

That week of heat on his Russisn links aged Farage by about 5 years. Rattled af. He’s been spewing out press conferences in order to change the subject ever since. Time to turn the heat back on. Gill is sentenced in 10 days.

New: We've translated in full a 1988 KGB training manual on how to infiltrate U.S. government facilities in the Middle East and North Africa. Something of a Russian growth industry these days, you might say. open.substack.com/pub/macspaun...

Reform UK Leicestershire are crooks. They announced consultants Newton would do a £1.4m savings review. That’s ballooned to £30m in 6 just days. Leader Dan Harrison is a con man. Leicestershire you’ve been had. leicestermercury.co.uk/news/local-n... #ReformLies

If the BBC explain what magnets are will he sue them?

This is well worth a listen. Farage & Gill are one. No wonder Nigel is rattled and calling press conferences at a rapid rate to change the subject. (If you're short of time skip it to 14:30 & listen for 2 mins.)

A look at Nathan Gill and his treasonous activities following an almost accidental interview with Polly Weston in 2020. Contains some typical Farage hogwash smoke and mirrors denials. I really don’t understand why this hasn’t dominated the headlines. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Some of the most powerful and well-paid people in the world don't understand a lesson that every schoolchild knows: if you surrender to bullies, they will only bully you more

I fear we are seeing in the UK what has become abundantly clear in the US: for all their power and privilege, elites and institutions are absolute cowards in the face of right-wing authoritarianism. Weak, weak, weak, as Tony Blair once said

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Suddenly it's a betrayal if we don't also leave the ECHR even though it's totally seperate & was never discussed 2012-2016.. In fact the betrayal is that we left the SM/CU. The Brexit we were sold (by Johnson AND Farage) pre-referendum, included our membership of them.
