The far right are not the brightest - simple solutions to complex problems.
Putin is on a mission to destabilise the West. He cannot achieve this by military means but can through supporting far right organisations.
So the far right are seduced by Putin as he offers simple solutions to their issues.

It’s interesting how far politics has shifted.
In the 1960’s working directly for the Soviets would finish anyone and the whole ring around them would be identified. They too would be out.
Here Farage has simply lied about knowing Gill and the whole media has shrugged and accepted his lies.

I wonder how quickly the Greens are invited back to QT or even if it will happen again! Farage alone has been on 37 times and Reform dozens more, yet this was the first time they were called out as fascist.
Normal service of platforming Reform will resume.

There are 2/3 interlinked stories.
First the Russians paying a Reform
Leader for services
Second Farage’s lies in an effort to distance himself. It’s very clear how well they knew each other.
Finally Farage’s involvement with the Russians: he met, knew and was photographed with the same people.

Spot on.
Your Party is just imploding and an absolute shit show. Corbyn was clearly in favour of Brexit too.

Yeah, but Farage speaks common sense.
He’s the only one dealing with immigration.
He’s on the side of working people.

I think if you are stupid enough to vote Reform without looking at what it stands for, you really won’t be too bothered by who is funding Farage and why.

It was brilliant.
However by humiliating Reform - which has a near permanent seat on QT and all BBC political programs - don’t expect the Greens to be invited back for a long time.

brompty.bsky.social @brompty.bsky.social · 2d

Your Party is an absolute shit show, very quickly imploding.

The Greens should not make enemies but should steer clear of Corbyn etc.

That makes perfect sense.
Why Labour have not swept the lot out is beyond me.

Fantastic- keep going.

brompty.bsky.social @brompty.bsky.social · 2d

Keep up the good work Zack - you are quickly gaining support from all sides tired of the current political parties who as pussy footing around Reform as they don’t want to cause offence to their supporters.
But they must be exposed and it’s only the Greens offering a credible alternative.

It has to be contrasted with the MSM and BBC absolutely going for Labour when they got elected demanding to know why MP had accepted freebies and tickets.
This scandal out ranks anything over the last 12 months - it’s nothing less than treason - yet the MSM is happy with the usual lies from Farage.

However if Reform get power the first thing they will do is defund the BBC - they hate it. So go figure! Literally doing their best to put someone in power who will destroy the BBC.

Joe Wicks is a fantastic ambassador for active lifestyles, and done so much to improve the health of the nation. I’m not surprised he’s a little hesitant to recommend any of the weight loss drugs - just follow his books!

He is part of a breed of Tory who were ousted by Johnson leaving the party with the likes of Badenoch and Jenrick - both trying to out awful each other.

brompty.bsky.social @brompty.bsky.social · 5d

All the Greens need is 3 elected MP’s and 1 to defect and the MSM & BBC will get breathless with excitement.
Your every utterance, thought or even sneeze will get reported as though it’s the most earth shattering news, and a permanent seat on every politics show and QT.
Or am I being naive?

Good grief. She has absolutely no idea. It’s just awful listening to her.

brompty.bsky.social @brompty.bsky.social · 5d

Ah come on, say it.
Jenrick was being racist.
Simple.

Dear lord - what a cretin.
Just when you thought Badenoch was doing enough making the Tories a poor Trump imitation, Jenrick then goes that little bit further.

I think many white liberals know exactly what’s happening and are horrified.
It’s when it affects MAGA supporters that it will hit home.

Reform are not an answer to anything.
Far right is never a solution as history proves time and time again.
No policies, no solutions just hate which will not fuel them very far.

Some rely on Reform and others for their stories and articles. As soon as they describe them as fascist the far right react to the hurty words by withdrawing their accessibility and threatening to sue.
How many times has Farage been interviewed by Ferrari; how many times have you interviewed him?

brompty.bsky.social @brompty.bsky.social · 6d

I still think that perhaps concentrating on those that pay little to no tax on incomes in the £millions might be something worth pursuing.

brompty.bsky.social @brompty.bsky.social · 7d

Which doesn’t explain the MSM and BBC’s obsession with platforming Reform.
The Green Party is offering a credible alternative; Reform unravel the second any credible journalist questions any policy. I wouldn’t describe Keunsberg as a credible journalist…

The Tories desperately need an issue they can campaign on.
The trouble is that after 14 years of total incompetence there aren’t any. And immigration is an Achilles heel for the Tories.
