Andy Burnham has confirmed what @carolecadwalla.bsky.social warned about for years: Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum. She was right to keep asking questions while governments looked away.

Farage on @lbc.co.uk claiming yet again that absolutely nothing untoward has happened while the evidence clearly says otherwise. He seems to think sacking his “contractors” will be the end of the “nothing” story that “nobody cares” about. This should be the end of Farage. Let’s hope it is.

Andy Burnham's first speech, "From the 1980s this country took a series of wrong turns" "Political power was centralised" "Economic power, privatised" "The country, deindustrialised" "Austerity followed" "And then Brexit compounded the damage" "Change begins with honesty"

Know that when Louis Mosley was interviewed for the position of UK head of Palantir, Alex Karp quoted excerpts from speeches made by Mosley’s grandfather, British fascist Oswald Mosley. Britain is Palantir’s second biggest customer. m.youtube.com/watch?v=6H7V...

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

Will #Farage back out like he did when the Gorton claims were proved to be unsubstantiated? 👀 #ReformUK #UKpolitics #UK #Reform

Nigel Farage’s partner, a former waitress not known to have any private money, bought a £1 million house for cash shortly after he secretly received £5 million from a Thailand-based cryptocurrency billionaire - the same house that he claimed, months previously, that he was about to pay for himself.

🔴 NEW 🔴 Reform is flogging a champagne breakfast with Nigel Farage for as much as it costs to buy a decent house. Naturally, the party is being accused of selling access, and influence, to the highest bidder... 📝 @desmog.com report with @adambarnett.bsky.social

www.theguardian.com/society/2025... This is a ridiculous and farcical situation which needs to be resolved immediately. Guess who is responsible for this? Private security firm Serco - a company continually rewarded for failure.

Things are looking bad for Syria’s President Asad. The lightning advance by the rebel HTS now threatens the strategic city of Homs, which will in turn threaten Damascus. The HTS leader Abu Mohammed al Jawlani says his aim is Assad’s overthrow.
