Farage takes a large part of the blame.

Farage’s Davos Freebie: Farage Attended Globalist Summit in Davis on Pass Paid by Immigrant ### Farage attended Davos on a pass sponsored by the family office of Iranian billionaire Sasan Ghandehari, which told the World Economic Forum that the Reform UK leader had advised the company since 2018.

Petition to keep Freeview (UK's free terrestrial TV). Indusrty pressures the government to move to internet based TV which would force many to pay for broadband subscriptions. Elderly people, disabled & poor will be cut off. @nicktrench.bsky.social www.change.org/p/save-freev...

Utterly disgusting, #Trump's planned takeover of #Greenland is motivated by his tech titan donors' greed. They want mineral reserves to power AI tech. #PeterThiel is founder of #Palantir Nothing to do with security. www.ibtimes.co.uk/after-trumps...

Paul Singer, whose firm owns the US subsidiary of Venezuela's state-owned oil company, spent millions in 2024 to re-elect Trump. Now, after Trump's invasion of Venezuela on behalf of Big Oil, he's set to cash in on his investment. A government of, by, and for the billionaires.

Trump started it. Reform and Tories are at it too. And Labour already heading in that direction. All cruel, potentially deadly and does nothing to fix the cost of living crisis.

Farage thrives because other parties have let him - Labour in particular, constantly following his framing on immigration and asylum. And the media don’t challenge him either. @zackpolanski.bsky.social sets his own framing and isn’t scared of Reform. A one-on-one debate could be a game-changer.

The US may be about to launch an operation from its bases on UK soil against an oil tanker. I ask what and when the UK government will be informed about the operation. Will we have any say on its nature? No answer #Sovereignty?

A petition calling for #RejoinEU is targeting 100,000 signatures needed for an MPs’ debate ahead of the 10th anniversary of the #Brexit vote in June 2026. It’s highlighted in this @teessidelive.bsky.social letter urging #UKLabour and #Starmer to drop Brexit “red lines”.

UK=poorer due to his #Brexit mess. #OBR is vital "It's time #Farage realised politics isn't a game. He'd hammer the British economy with a Liz Truss plan on steroids - & it's working people & British businesses who'd be left to foot a very heavy bill." news.sky.com/story/nigel-...

The headline in the Guardian says everything you need to know about Britain now.

Good article @jessicaelgot.bsky.social Sensible comments @paulnowaktuc.bsky.social But a customs union is not enough... UK industry badly needs mobility frameworks for trade especially for creatives & technology sector @nicktrench.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Another important read by @nickcohen.bsky.social Europe is increasingly encircled by its enemies. And there is big money involved.

Is that £9million… Russian money?

A former Dulwich college pupil who claims a teenage Nigel Farage told him “that’s the way back to Africa” has said he felt compelled to speak out after the Reform leader’s attempt at “denying or dismissing” the hurt of his alleged targets.

A customs union alone is not enough, it does not include the mobility frameworks required by the services industry. Britain must go further and fast or face holes in the economy and decades servicing debts caused by Brexit news.sky.com/story/david-...

What a recommendation! Thank you @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social & @rory-stewart.bsky.social both for recommending the podcast AND backing @the-citizens.bsky.social campaign for an inquiry into Russian interference in UK politics 👊👊👊

"In the ashes of war... Europe pulled together to create collaborative bodies designed to prevent a repeat of the horrors of Nazi Germany. One such body was the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)."

Britain needs an investigation into the wider Russian influence in our democracy. Cryptocurrency platform used by Russians to launder money linked to Farage's massive donor. @northeastbylines.co.uk #Tether #ChristopherHarborne #Russians #Farage #Reform www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"Twenty people allege he has a racist past. He denies it. Who’s telling the truth about Farage’s schooldays?" You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure this one out.

Drowning in denial: one in five homes in Reform UK heartlands faces flooding in 25 years. Even as the party rolls back climate action, Reform-controlled councils sit on some of England’s worst rising flood risks.

Why is Nigel Farage and Zia Yusuf very quiet today about this traitor? I wonder if the Kremlin funds the Reform UK and GB News?

#Starmer can go one better, release the #RussiaReport. #Brexit was #Putin's project. It weakened the UK + Europe. Putin promoted #Brexit and #Farage via social media for years. Also interfered in other countries. Will put link below to article. #Reform news.sky.com/story/starme...

Today, the Pink Protest gathered outside Downing Street, claiming immigrants are a threat to women. We talked to counter-protesters from Stand Up to Racism, they told us: “We are terrified that women’s safety is being used to justify hatred.” Share if you agree.
