Jeremy Clarkson discovered that Private Healthcare is a con, and actually if he gets sick he still has to use the NHS.

Two certainties in life are water is wet and Reform lie incessantly❗️

Elon Musk is paying Tommy Robinson's legal bills.

The British media and political establishment is still on X and maybe this is the wake up call they need.

Post by johndpoconnell "My old friend Nathan Gill, who I've never met, accidentally tripped over a briefcase containing £50,000 and then coincidentally the next day spouted pro Russian propaganda in the EU, as did I. And as far as I'm concerned that's the end of the matter."

I am old enough to remember that we went to war against fascism. And that Russians were the bad guys. Nigel Farage seems to have forgotten all this.
He is a traitor to the UK. He only care about himself and his bank account. He is not a patriot.

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.

So, yes, that's why we need to talk about Nigel Farage.

Always remember ...
Brexit was simply the first salvo in a Putin-backed attack upon the West. The same battle is now being fought throughout Europe. If the UK turns its back on Brexit and rejoins the EU, it will be seen as a victory for the whole of Europe against the rise of fascism. Pick a side.

Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate light overcoming darkness, hope overcoming hardship, and unity in our diversity.

Corrupt chancers urged to come up with an economic plan that isn’t utter bullshit. So, no tax cuts and austerity on steroids for a country already stuck in Farage’s Brexit dead end.
But hey, some super wealthy industry big (k)nobs will come on board to help con the little guy.

(Times)
Times Farage to abandon manifesto's big plans for tax cuts Extracts: Farage will break with his manifesto pledges of £90 billion in tax cuts as he attempts to bolster his party's economic credibility. The leader of Reform UK will promise not to reduce taxes before reducing spending, deep cuts to the civil service and a ban on borrowing to fund government expenditure in his first big speech on the economy next month. "Reform will never borrow to spend, as Labour and the Tories have done for so long; instead, we will ensure savings are made before implementing tax cuts. I will have more to say on all this in the coming weeks." Speaking on the campaign trail before the Caerphilly by-election to the Welsh parliament on October 23, he did not respond to demands to name his shadow chancellor but suggested he would soon be able to draw on backing from the business community. Several high-profile figures from industry have privately indicated they would be willing to serve in a Reform cabinet, party officials said Farage said: "We will be launching between now and the budget, a new campaign — an economic campaign ... it's going to be very impactful. It'll another high-profile individual coming into politics from outside of politics, who's been supremely successful in their world." Promising a "total change of attitude" on the economy, he said: "We are not a party dominated by corporate thinking. The Tories and La-bour are both dominated by corporate thinking." The IFS has questioned whether Reform's economic plans are credible warning last year that the party had overestimated how much it could save through spending cuts: "Even with the extremely optimistic assumptions about how much economic growth would increase, the sums in this manifesto do not add up." Right-leaning think tanks have also urged the party to set out more credible policy. The Institute for Economic Affairs last month called for Reform to "put some serious economic policies on the table".

It’s actually incredible that as a society we never managed to find the political will to force elected officials to tell the truth on TV.
