Can we please make him pay for lying? It's the only way this nonsense stops.
This morning on BBC Breakfast, Nigel Farage said he had received “zero help from the state” with his security. Yet reports say he had previously received publicly funded protection and was offered a taxpayer-funded package including a bodyguard, a secure car and a trained driver.

The Guardian arguing we must defund Elon Musk highlights the danger of allowing billionaire oligarchs to control public infrastructure and digital forums. Why subsidise demagogues who undermine democracy? 🤔 #DarkMoney

I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce. When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing. Disgraceful.

How strange Reform UK whose leaders supported Brexit and British people 'taking back control' is happy to get most of its funding from millionaires living abroad (ps who never give something for nothing, 'donations' are the British way of corruption buying policies like tax cuts for millionaires)
The Independent. 'True scale of Reform UK’s donations from overseas donors revealed 80 per cent of the money received by Reform UK from donations in the year 2025-26 has come from individuals or companies who have been based abroad in the past two years'

The video being widely shared from @mary1kathy.bsky.social with the caption "NYPD arresting an ICE goon for trying to steal someone off the streets of NYC. RESPECT!!!" is an AI generated fake. Please don't share. Disinformation that you like or agree with is still disinformation!

It's not healthy that we HAVE to be interested in foreign elections. But the anti-democracy, pro-fascist, movement is cross-border, institute, lobbying and "think-tank" driven, and billionaire funded. If we don't oppose it across borders it will win across borders.

“Farage & Jenrick were forced to face rows of empty seats as they set out a limp package of rehashed plans ahead of the Budget..The miserable turnout another sign of Reform’s sliding popularity…Ipsos this weekend put Labour on 32%, Tories on 24% & ReFUK on 20%..” www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
