Everything he's reported to have said in this BBC piece sounds like he's desperately trying to distance himself, knowing that the connection is real and toxic. If the press were investigating Farage with the same enthusiasm they went for Rayner, he'd be done for.

Utter devastation. Entire neighbourhoods of friends and family obliterated.

The ‘fortunate’ ones get to come home to this.

Bleak.

Hoping for a lasting peace. Then accountability. Then justice.

But for now, hoping for families to be reunited and for tens of thousands of poor starving kids to be saved from bombs, sniper bullets, and deliberate starvation.

The patriotism. The logic. Breathtaking.

A reminder that 75% of people support a wealth tax.

To the ‘patriots’ saying they’ll leave the country in a strop:

Paying a wealth tax on assets above £10m is not a hardship. You'll still have a fancy house, fancy car and a fancy life.

Patriotic Millionaires know. @patmillsuk.bsky.social

Biden’s not asking for a Nobel Peace Prize. But yes, he has as much culpability for bankrolling the genocide.

Former Head of Comms for the IEA, Annabel Denham, says the super rich will leave if we have a wealth tax.

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Green Party leader Zack Polanski explains that their taxable assets can’t leave. #bbcqt

“Donald Trump transparently deserves some credit for this [ceasefire].”

Conservative MP Nigel Huddleston thinks the guy who bankrolled a genocide — that has bombed and starved 20,000 kids to death — deserves credit for deciding to stop after 2 full years of carnage.

Big up the man in the checked shirt.

“The vast majority of people in this country live very happily and very peacefully together.”

“Tonight you will say everything is about immigration…. not everything in this country is the ‘problem of immigration’.”

The moral and mental gymnastics needed to come to this conclusion. The guy bankrolled a genocide for two years and now thinks he deserves a prize for stopping. FFS. 🤦🏽‍♂️

“I once gave $ billions of arms & political cover to a country committing genocide — allowing 20,000 kids to be bombed & starved to death — sanctioned international experts calling for it to stop, then after 2 years said stop & waited for everyone to give me a Nobel Peace Prize.”

The moral and mental gymnastics from Shelagh Fogarty to come to this conclusion. The guy bankrolled a genocide and she thinks he deserves a prize for stopping. FFS. 🤦🏽‍♂️

'Trump definitely deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.'

Shelagh Fogarty is aware of the 'injustices he is carrying out in his own country', but thinks the US president has achieved something on Gaza.
