Impressive fact checking from @sturdyalex.bsky.social & which major news outlets should be doing.

Was Farage warning us to distrust his every word when he said "To expect people to blindly believe what they are told, I'm afraid the days when we trusted our leaders that much are long long gone."? 😱
I see Nigel Farage is back to claiming he "predicted" the war between Russia and Ukraine in the EU Parliament, when in fact he spoke AFTER the annexation of Crimea, to defend Russia and claim it was all the EU's fault.

I did a full fact-check, with clips, here:

Nigel Farage promised that Reform councils would cut local government "waste" in order to slash taxes.

Now the party's flagship Kent administration is set to actually raise taxes and has just started asking opposition parties for help after failing to identify the millions in savings they promised

I’ve always been a centrist, but after the fin crisis, Brexit, covid, Johnson, Trump, AI and tech bros and approaching 80 I’m moving leftward. Trickle down was a con, privatisation a rip off, grotesque wealth has created a class completely insulated from ordinary folks with politics in its thrall

Not only should Prince Andrew lose all his titles & any residence, but also his children should lose their Princess titles.

Yes, that's harsh as Beatrice & Eugene were not involved, but unless there are draconian repercussions for Andrew, it won't impress upon him how abhorrent his past behaviour.
Echos the Spanish Civil War when totalitarian powers tested new tactics, including terrifying Stuka air attacks, bombing of defenceless cities and an almost total war against civilians.

Guernica is a memorable example.

Can’t say we weren’t warned. Who will the electorate blame if the price rises are sustained? Who will they turn to voting-wise?
👀"Butter, milk, beef, chocolate and coffee accounted for about 40 per cent of the increase in food prices over the past year. Prices for these items rose by an average of 15.6 per cent in the year to August, compared with 2.8 per cent for other foods."

Rising food prices.. who to blame?

- Supermarket profiteering.. esp at expense of farmers
- Brexit voters & those who encouraged Brexit vote leading to rising costs of seeds, fertiliser, farming machinery costs, maintenance costs, labour shortages
- and hedge funds & those who ensure they prosper
