NEW: We need to talk about Russia.

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

It was on this day, in 2020 that I first downloaded TT. The rest is history.

I’ll be live at 7:30pm celebrating five long years of roasting right wing prick, upperclassholes and flag shaggers 🎉

It’s been emotional. But, like Elton, I’m still standing.

Show this to a flagshagger. They’ll hate it.

Reform isn’t a party. It’s a pyramid scheme. Farage and his billionaire donors aren’t patriots. They’re con men up to their BALLS in foreign money.

This explains how they do it.

Stop believing the bullshit.

I tried to interview Gill, but he refused to talk to me..months later, I would embark on an investigation into #Brexit, Trump and Cambridge Analytica. What I could never have predicted is that, nine years on, Gill and that story would crash directly into one other.

The contact of Reform UK’s Russian puppet Nathan Gill is linked to efforts to destabilise the US and Ukraine. Why, even now, is no one asking questions?

Gill, former leader in Wales of Nigel Farage's party, admits taking bribes to help Putin. And his Russian connection - the Ukrainian politician Oleh Voloshyn - in turn has links to a key figure wante...

I find it weird how people can acknowledge that UK politics is volatile to an unprecedented degree and yet talk very confidently about the shape of an election in 2029. Reform is depicted as a permanent and unstoppable force and Labour as utterly doomed. Doesn't add up to me

It's almost exactly four years since Tim Shipman's notorious "Boris Johnson squats like a giant toad" tweet.

Seems like important context given how we often talk as though the next election – four years away – is a done deal.

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

An old director I worked with used to say: "You can write, block, time, direct, and perfect every aspect of comedy. But some people just have a comedy multiplier."

Keaton just had whetever that is; that unteachable, undirectable multiplier. She made the mediocre, good, and the good, side-splitting.

So rather than ask @eddavey.libdems.org.uk heading a 72 MP Party what he thinks about Blair governing Gaza

Sky asks Farage who has a total of (checks notes as the number keeps changing).. currently just 5 MPs what he thinks

Yet another example of not MSM promoting the toxic turd over others❗️😡

Nigel Farage says Tony Blair 'not my choice' to help govern Gaza but understands Donald Trump's logic

Donald Trump has said former Labour prime minister Sir Tony Blair would head up a "Board of Peace" in Gaza.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?
