TRUMP: “Have you seen the crowd outside? 22,000 people watching. We love you out there. They’re watching the Jumbotrons.” 📌 The entire population of Corinth, Mississippi, is approximately 14,000 people. The man can’t even lie right.

Nigel Farage’s close friend and political ally, Nathan Gill, was sentenced to ten and a half years for accepting Russian bribes earlier this year. Why did he do that??

Insolvency scam The boss of twice-bust business back despite £3m debts. These people gut a company, HMRC and creditors not paid. Then buy assets cheaply from the administrator in pre-packs, and back in business. Gone on for decades. No transparency of administrator dealings. No investigation.

Imagine being a CEO of an US energy company and thinking that you work with close associates of the Trump family, only to find out that behind them is a sanctioned Russian company, really pulling the strings.

In Ireland we suffered under 60 years of Roman Catholic theocracy (they did more harm than the Brits in the 20th century) before throwing off the yoke of church fascism & become one of the most liberal countries in the world & I can tell u cruxification would be too good for everyone in this photo.

Reform UK insists it will protect the state pension triple lock, a particularly important promise to older voters. So why did the party appoint an economist who had previously argued that the very same guarantee should be abolished?

UK lacks essential electricity transmission/storage systems. Billions paid to solar & wind turbine farms to switch off during periods of high sunshine/winds, expected to cost £8bn a year by 2030. National Grid pays dividends. What is the Govt doing? Watch the Minister's reply.

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

America is *now* an ally of Russia? I'd argue it started in 2016 when the Trump campaign and the RNC softened the language on providing lethal defensive weapons to Ukraine as part of the Manafort/Kremlin/Yanukovich "peace plan" to cede Ukrainian territory to Putin. But okay. We can go with "now".
