Farage is showing us that he is just like Trump, although a cheaper version

- promoting racist policies

- admires Putin

- making money out of his position

- friends with Russian sympathisers (the bribe issue)

- lies

- wild promises

- spreads hate of “others”

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.

There is an assumption that both Hamas and Israel will honour the “peace agreement”.

Let us hope so.

But if the past helps predict future behaviour, they won’t.

When it breaks each will blame the other.

The Nathan Gill scandal should be huge news so why has the British media been mainly silent about it? (I think we know 🤔)
Here's Fiona Bruce shutting down any mention & acting like the audience aren't interested.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

The idea that Trump won’t rig the votes is for the birds.

Why would he stop at that.

He might even stop all further elections. What is stopping him?

BladeoftheSun @bladeofthes.bsky.social · 5h

In 2026 Donald Trump is going to get even bigger majorities in the Senate and Congress than he has now.

It won't matter how you vote.

You need to be preparing for how you prove he cheated and what you are going to do about it.

They make up lies about paid agitators doing violence, and attach them to the name of a prominent Jewish person. This is antisemitism, and it infects every part of the GOP.

Digital ID for <16 is that it does not sit easily with the protective notion that these children should have restricted access to Internet and dissuade the widespread use of mobile phones.

BUT a digital ID does not have to be on a mobile phone. Any device will do. Shouldn’t be difficult to solve.

There’s always a reason for resisting technology advancements by arguing bad guys will use them to do bad things, or Governments will use them to control you.

Computers
Mobile phones
Speed Cameras
CCTV
Digital banking
AI

Answer is not to ban, but to regulate, modify rights and create legal duties.
