Chaos on TwitterX as they roll out a new change which shows the location of the user and inadvertently reveal how many fake accounts there are and how much foreign interference.

Earlier a vocal Scottish independence campaigner was outed as an Iranian account. Then there’s this pro Trump one:

NEW There's no overstating how significant the Nathan Gill case is. On Friday, the close associate of Nigel Farage was jailed for over 10 years for taking bribes ultimately from a friend of Putin. It's a complex, detail-heavy story that raises questions about Farage’s claim Gill was ‘one bad apple’🧵

And this is spot on. No other political figure or party gets so little scrutiny. And it’s not like there isn’t a track record…
Corruption, Russia-links, Trump-christofascist-links, Brexit, racism, total incompetence in Reform-run councils…
A dangerous clowncar revving up to drive us into the wall.

The right wing elite are ruthless in protecting their own and getting what they want.
They wanted Johnson. (And what a disaster that was for us).
Now they want Farage. (Would be an off the scale catastrophe for the country).
Time we woke up to the betrayal.

Funny they'd want to do that while not talking about NATHAN GILL at all.

An investigation into Russian interference in our politics is long overdue. And we all know who should be questioned first.

I wonder if Nigel Farage will be giving a press conference on this one?

It should be acknowledged:

The British UK media - BIG press - have been nowhere on this throughout. Small independent new providers pushed all the way for years:

Thank you to all of you who worked on this.
Key points: Met police say investigation into other politicians is ongoing. Gill sought to recruit multiple MEPs including 4 British ones.

The judge gave strongest possible quotes about the gravity of the crime and the damage done to public trust.

If this was Boris Johnson's best, can you imagine his worst?

I did read this in a cab on the M4 at half five this morning so I was primed to be grumpy admittedly, but seriously - who the fuck cares what Richard Tice, Karol Sikora and Lord bleedin' Frost think of the covid inquiry? How are they relevant? The decline of the Telegraph is quite incredible
it's not useful, it's the Mail. but that is how they've reported the covid inquiry report. it's better than the Telegraph which is "three of our columnists think it's a waste of money" for a thousand words before they even mention its actual findings. Get more news from the Beano.
