🔴 NEW: Reform UK's £4m crypto donor Ben Delo has dismissed his US conviction as a "non-crime" But we got the court docs - and found a different story US federal prosecutors said he "thumbed his nose at the law" and had led a "criminal enterprise" democracyforsale.substack.com/p/reforms-4m...

With Farage making a shed load of money from bitcoin and an assortment of weird companies, we’ve launched a map and live tracker of his income 👇🏻👇🏻

Vance really does have the kiss of death.

Keeping this for the future: Orbán on TV saying that the election results are painful but clear. This feels momentous. #Hungary

Whatever happens between the Irish Government and the fuel protesters one thing is becoming clear. I think Ireland is about to see a powerful new political force along the lines of the European and UK far right. Just like we’ve seen elsewhere the incumbent parties are unprepared for what’s to come.

Fuel prices up to insane levels and petrol stations are now running out of fuel. Thank you Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸🫠

I was lucky enough to visit Iran back in 08. Travelled overland from Tabriz, Tehran, Esfahan, Bam and into Zahedan in the East. From the minute I crossed the border I was met with warmth, curiosity, and wonder. Not once did I feel threatened or unwelcome.

It can certainly be read as a love letter to Putin — Maria Popova has a point as usual — but whatever happens the expression of a genocidal wish by the president of the United States is a horror we will never live down.

These things only work when people choose to go along. If we deny that such a thing is possible we invite it. When we think it through and talk about it we deter it. (11/17)

Great. Now let’s get to work normalising rabies.

Fuck me

Let me get this straight… According to Badenoch the UK is in a war with Iran yet Trump says the US isn’t engaged in a war with Iran. Just a military opp or something.

Beautiful ✊🏻☘️🚀

Thank God Starmer is in charge, really. If it had been any of his immediate predecessors, we'd currently be at war with Iran, playing lapdog to a deranged US administration, unable to say what we were doing or why.

🔴Trump’s Iran War Threatens a Refugee Crisis on a Scale That Dwarfs Syria A former senior US defence analyst warns that the assault on Iran risks causing a refugee crisis up to four times larger than what happened during the Syria conflict bylinetimes.com/2026/03/13/t...

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

Doubt much of the electorate have noticed but the mess Badenoch and Farage have got into over Iran shows just how beatable they are.

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next. There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.

They'll cheer on the war then complain about the refugees it'll create.

There seems to be a widespread view that adherence to international law is somehow optional. Reminds me of Russian friends who described their situation as “the law is like a gate in the middle of a field. You can use it if you want but don’t have to”. And we know where that went.

Farage has forged his entire lucrative career on blaming foreigners for stuff that never happened.

Civilizations throughout history have had to deal with the consequences of a ruler who is a malignant aging despot sliding into dementia. I guess now it’s our turn.

Here we go… use democracy to attack democracy.

They will literally blame anything on Muslims.

If Peter Mandelson denies he was about to flee the country, should he believe him?
