Nathan Gill, ReFuk 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Ex-Leader & ex MEP agreed to make specific statements to the EU Parl on at least 8 occasions as tasked by Oleg Voloshyn, a pro-Kremlin 🇷🇺 Ukrainian, in return for money, the court was told. In other words he was a Russia fluffer in return for money. Who does that remind you of?

Brexit wasn’t a pint of British sovereignty 🍺🇬🇧 It was a Russian cocktail 🍸 mixed with Kremlin influence, US hedge funds, and media moguls. And public got the hangover as elites pocketed the profits. Brexit reality: toxic mix brewed to weaken Britain and Europe. www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press

How Brexit damaged our NHS. "I’ve listened in on calls where we discuss the fact that we just about have safe staffing levels for the day in A&E, not because of poor management, but because the workforce we once relied on has… left." ~AA eastangliabylines.co.uk/news/health/...

@ed-miliband.bsky.social I doubt you’ll see this, but I note from this FT article of 5/9/2025, that there looks set to be a major shortfall of uranium due to mines becoming exhausted. That’d mean far higher electric prices if you go ahead with your SMR nuclear reactors. www.ft.com/content/0d6c...

People are exhausted. Our high streets, public spaces, whole communities left unloved. Blaming migrants won’t fix this. Tackling inequality will. Tax the super-rich. Fund public services. #DrawTheLine www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Quite apart from Tice going out to defend Farage's shady house purhcase and making things ten times worse, for the guy who says he will be the next UK Chancellor of the Exchequer to end on: "I'm not a tax expert - you're asking the wrong guy," is objectively hilarious. ~AA

He's EXTREMELY tetchy.

He didn't "misspeak". He lied. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

'Hypocrite' Nigel Farage didn't pay £44k stamp duty then blasted Angela Rayner www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

"Farage has given two contradictory versions of the purchase. One that he bought it and the other that his girlfriend owns it. If the second is correct then he has ­engineered a massive saving on stamp duty, larger than the one that forced Angela Rayner to resign." www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

The parliamentary register of interests shows that Farage has made nearly £400,000 from GB News since August 2024, for c190 hours’ work. This suggests he is being paid more than £2,000 an hour by the news channel. All paid to Thorn In The Side Ltd owned solely by Farage 25% tax rather than HR

“Nigel Farage says….” has been the headline of the decade. Look at what he does, ffs. Look at his tax affairs. Look at his grifting. Look at his lies. Look at his prejudice. Look at his allies. Look at his manifesto. Look at his Brexit. He is the embodiment of personal greed and national failure.

💥 NEW: An aristocrat who described homosexuality as “gravely dangerous” is among the speakers at Reform’s conference this weekend. Viscount Christopher Monckton is participating in a panel about climate change at Nigel Farage’s Birmingham event on Saturday. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/09/05/v...

Farage dodged parliament, went to the US, slagged off the UK, lied to Congress, grifted for donations and hoped to persuade the US to punish us for the Online Safety Act. And got his arse handed back to him. You’d think our ‘patriotic’ media would go nuts. But no. Some quiet mumbling. Beyond feeble.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

Why on earth do the Tories want to keep people locked into high energy bills? And, come to that, why is the BBC citing Reform but saying nothing about climate science or renewable alternatives? Complete madness - except for the fossil fuel industry of course

Renewable Energy is 8x cheaper than Fossil Fuel, increased Energy costs increase the price of everything. When your prices are too high you cannot export anything. It is the lack of Net Zero that is destroying the UK economy.

Exactly what will happen in the UK should Reform Ltd get into Government. Why don’t people get that they’re being conned by Farage?

It’s all getting quite fascisty now isn’t it

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: Putin is a predator. Putin's proxies have been targeting our societies for years with hybrid attacks, with cyber attacks. The weaponizing of migrants is another example.

An interesting report from Sky News about folk in Bournemouth complaining about migrants. They go back to people they interviewed 9yrs ago. The white, Christian, Europeans have now been replaced by people from South Asia. An inevitable outcome which Brexiters voted for. news.sky.com/story/bourne...

Is anyone really surprised about this? This concern was raised in 2016 and was dismissed as ‘Project Fear’. But here we are, back to being the ‘dirty man of Europe’ once again. Brexit is the gift that just keeps on giving.

An MP has been left red-faced after mistakenly claiming a group of charity rowers were “illegal migrants aboard a dinghy”. Former Reform MP Rupert Lowe has been accused of scaremongering after making the claim on social media on 7 August.

Farage cries betrayal over access to fish stocks. But NEVER FORGET he stood down hundreds of Brexit Party PPCs to help Johnson win big in 2019 and it was Johnson who negotiated the access. There's no change to access, just an extension on existing deal for 12 years. If it's on anyone, it's Farage

The UK fishing industry has been hugely damaged by Brexit. It's been an absolute fucking catastrophe for them. THAT was the betrayal. But for the CULT of Brexit truth is always a second ranking issue.

“They (Reform UK) voted against •stronger SSP • the right to guaranteed hours • protection from unfair dismissal • stronger protections for pregnant mothers • a package worth £600 for poorest workers.. We’re backing British workers, they vote against them at every turn” PM Keir Starmer #PMQS 👏

EXACTLY the kind of language I would have used in a diplomatic cable to London, describing a democracy crackdown in a third country. Here, in the US.

Eighty years ago, enemies laid down their arms. Since then, we, Europeans, have built something extraordinary: a Union of peace, democracy, and solidarity. An anchor of stability. Our Union was born as a peace project, and it remains one today.

All this, and more. I would channel Mark Carney. I would reform Hse of Lords. I would restrict foreign funding of pol parties. I would devolve powers from Westminster. I would launch a constitutional commission to review how to strengthen governance. I would try to tell the truth, incl hard truths.

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

I'm announcing emergency funding to address a mental health crisis in Lincolnshire, where thousands of people are suffering from delusions, believing that Andrea Jenkyns gives a shit about them.
