This is a must read. Journalists should be asking Farage questions about his involvement with Nathan Gill and Russia. Something isn’t adding up.

Dear God - if nothing else, Farage should be arrested for his dress sense.

Teesside’s freeport, initiated in 2021 under Rishi Sunak, has cost £560 million far exceeding the standard £25 million allocation (22 times the standard £25m).
90% profits go to the private sector.
This clearly shows the UK model of State aid post-Brexit is utterly corrupt.

Please help me! I’m on X because that’s where my paintings sell. I shift about 95% of my work there. If I could just get my followers up to the same level here, it would release me from the swamp. I live in the middle of nowhere so I rely on social media to share & show my work.

The silence is deafening as BBC studiously avoids reporting on @greenparty.org.uk swelling in popularity

Yet they did 3 reports today re Farage as they pursue their licence payer funded Reform PR campaign 😡

Screenshot of three reports done over the last five hours about by the BBC, who aren’t biased at all in favour of reform unless of course you think constantly amplifying their message and giving them airtime and PR for free is bias
