Just to clarify, when Farage says the £5m donation to him was for his "personal security", he means his personal financial security.

Presumably, all Farage has to do is provide the receipts for his security bill and apologise to us all for not declaring the £5 million. Shouldn't be a problem and as leader of a major party I'm sure he'll be absolutely delighted to clear up any misunderstanding.

America didn’t turn ugly because he became President. No. He became President because America was already this ugly. That’s the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit.

Good

Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Jenson Huang, Larry Fink, David Solomon, Stephen Schwarzman all on Airforce One with Trump flying to Beijing. And Brett Ratner (director of Melania the movie).

Remembering English author, screenwriter, essayist, humorist, satirist and dramatist Douglas Adams on his birthday (March 11, 1952 – May 11, 2001), creator and author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy franchise, a script writer for Doctor Who, and BBC radio producer.

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.

It's been 16 months since I left X, and I feel so much better for it. I hadn't realised just how big an impact the daily tsunami of hate, trolling, sealioning and strategic incomprehension was having on my state of mind. I cannot understand why anyone who values their mental health is still there.

Turned on the Today programme for perhaps the first time this year. Instantly presented with three minutes of Chris Mason: glib, inane, uninformative, utterly banal. Turned it off again.

In other news UK news shows continue to fail to call out bull**** like this from Nigel Farage and Reform

He's sleeping on camera, again.

For a modern government in the era of Cambridge Analytica and a hostile right wing media to have ZERO communications strategy is indefensible.

The lunatics have taken over the asylum

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

Brexit all over again. Reform doing well among voters who are: - older - poorer - less well educated. It’s as if the past decade since the referendum that was supposed to change our lives for the better hasn’t made a jot of difference. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The reason Richard Tice refused to condemn a Reform candidate saying we should "Melt Nigerians to fill potholes" is that he thinks it's a perfectly reasonable thing to say.

Ukrainian soldiers wishing their mothers Happy Mother’s Day. Ukrainian mothers are true heroes of our time. Their unshakable strength and courage continues to inspire.

Won’t work either

I get it. SO WRONG THAT IS THE GOVERNMENT WE HAVE.I AM NOT IN THE MAJORITY SHADING. BUT WON'T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT. THERE ARE THOSE IN THE TOP SHADING THAT AGREE WITH ME. BIGOTRY AND HATE ARE DESPICABLE. trump controls the KKK SCOTUS AND CONGRESS. LET'S CHANGE THAT.

It’s so depressing the Reform now have over 1,000 councillors in England. The Brexit referendum was like a gateway drug for making racism publicly acceptable, wasn’t it?

It's Europe Day! Today, we celebrate all that Europe stands for. And we celebrate all of us, the citizens of Europe. Because all together, we are Europe. Happy Europe Day!

In Wales as in Scotland, we rejected the odious Nigel Farage and his 3rd Reich replacement party, Reform. A relief, painful as it was to see the Welsh Labour Party biting the dust. Come on England, you're better than this. Help us to take this fascist down next time. For all our sakes. Never Reform

The most hilarious part of this is that the recall only affects 173 total vehicles, because that's all Tesla's sold of its rear wheel drive model.

A Georgia couple who terrorized a Black family at a child's birthday party with Confederate flags, racial slurs, guns, and death threats were sentenced for a hate crime. Joe Torres got 20 years; Kyla Norton got 15.

A major shift away from Israel has happened with the American public. They’ve realized their hard earned tax dollars get wasted by Israel’s war of choice for genocide and apartheid and mass destruction. If Americans boycott Israeli products, Israel crumbles.

Trump sues everybody over everything, comedians, critics, networks, anyone who bruises his ego. But notice who he never seems eager to sue: the women accusing him, or the people saying far worse things about him. IMO, he knows he would not survive discovery.

When and why it all went wrong #Brexit Time to #RejoinEU

It’s wild! Conservative MPs whose own local government base has just been wiped out will tell you, wholly sincerely, that things are going well.

“The British press usually works itself into a fury if people in public life threaten legal action against journalists... But when it comes to the wall of money and lawyers propping up Farage and his finances, barely a squeak” Democracy dying in the darkness. www.independent.co.uk/voices/nigel...

However you dice it, it’s been a great night for Thai-based cryptocurrency billionaires & Vladimir Putin - who, incredibly, is currently getting more good news from the UK than Ukraine.

The Green Party brought forward buffer zones to stop the harassment and intimidation of women and pregnant people accessing healthcare. Nobody should be targeted outside a clinic during an already vulnerable moment in their life. The courts have upheld the law and it is working as intended.
