Today in Brexit Britain you are being asked to believe that a Thailand-based cryptocurrency tycoon secretly gave Nigel Farage - the person, not his party - five million pounds without any hope or expectation of getting anything in return.
Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.
Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
Labour MPs need to realise this isn’t about getting rid of Starmer it’s about destabilising the Labour govt and getting rid of all of you .. for Nigel and his mates ! The media have been on overdrive on this since July 24 .. it’s the latest attempt but not the last !
Farage thugs manhandle man with pacemaker after he objects to the Reform leader's chauffeur parking in disabled bay that he needs to use.
Lovely People.

Incoming Hungarian PM Péter Magyar calls for the UK to rejoin the European Union:
"I remember when I was a diplomat in Brussels... We were able to influence decisions. At the time, the Brits were also part of the EU. Let's hope they will rejoin."
Such a pity that so many
white middle-aged men
idolised by Nigel Farage
have turned out to be criminals
with convictions in bribery,
assault, money laundering, fraud,
rape, sex trafficking ...

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
News bulletin on Magic Radio saying bills going up today, mentions council tax and minimum wage rise doesn't mention rise in state pension and UC and the scrapping of the 2 child cap. No wonder people think Labour is failing!
That coin will come to symbolise the death of American liberty and decency. 250 years of steady progress stopped in its tracks by grotesque greed, ignorance and prejudice.
A badge of indelible shame.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot,
"Let us say to our British friends"
"If they stand ready to return to the EU Single Market with all associated privileges and duties"
"They will be be met with open arms"
Sounds like a plan. Who's in?
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
Good response to Jim Ratcliffe's appalling comment on immigration.
@jakerichardsmp.bsky.social: "Jim Ratcliffe has moved to Monaco to save £4 billion worth of tax in this country, one might question whether he is the patriot that we need to comment on this issue."
Another fvcking ‘elite’ non tax paying piece of shit who, ironically, (and along with many other bloody foreigners) has colonised Monaco in an effort to not pay his way…

Farage - a total hypocrite on the Mandelson appointment. And, besides, the Epstein files expose him too.
A grubby apologist to Trump. A useful idiot to Bannon. And a traitor to the UK.

Nigel Farage tells GB News that Keir Starmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador shows his judgement is "seriously wrong" and he should stand down as Prime Minister.
Here's what Farage said when Mandelson was appointed
Let's hope this positive news gets as much attention as the people who try to convince us that the UK is a murder ravaged hellscape.

So lying about his Clacton home and stamp duty was an accident?
His racism and antisemitism was just 'banter'?
His 17 breaches of the parliamentary code 'inadvertent'?
His offshore banking was 'unfortunate'?
When will the media hold Farage to account?
Rob Reiner was a genius. He brought joy to this world, and in decades to come, people will still be laughing, crying, and quoting along to his incredible oeuvre.
Donald Trump is a nobody. History will remember him as a villain and a nasty, dim-witted, unloved one at that.
There's your difference
Tommy Robinson and his far right goons are holding a carol service to honour the birth of a displaced Middle Eastern refugee who started a religion that explicitly emphasized a belief in universal love, peace and tolerance over earthly nations and division.

🔴 Nigel Farage’s Reform is more reliant on super-rich backers than any major party in modern British political history
75% of *all* Reform donations *ever* have come from just three rich men
Is this what democracy looks like?

TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE. For shame, Mr Johnson and the team you pretended to lead. Preventable deaths on your hands. They will not return to us. You live on, rich and vainglorious.

The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump, Farage or their cheerleaders at GB News.
Keir Starmer needs to stand up to Trump and defend our BBC, to keep it strong and truly independent.
Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.
This is the Royal equivalent of the amputation of a gangrenous limb to stop the rest of The Firm getting infected.
An act of self-preservation.
If it was integrity, then they'd have booted Andrew out years ago.
They didn't.

"Milei is amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing. That's leadership" - Nigel Farage
Milei would be the "template" for my government - Kemi Badenoch
The Kimmel video: "The MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it."
Appalled to see this image of Donald Trump and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle.
Please... for the love of all that is good, do not share it on all your social media channels... because it simply wouldn't be done to remind the world of the association
In the UK our main media is in a terrible state and as a consequence or democracy is under threat.
The media no longer serves news or the people.
A money only model has driven them to seek sensation and clicks.
The focus on Farage demonstrates this - his antics get them attention and cash.
