Remember when Suella Braverman said there was “no legal basis” to claims that there would be a £50 billion bill if the UK left the EU? That it was “project fear”?

The party who claim to be patriots literally had a Reform leadership member caught red handed taking bribes from Russia.

This article details the speeches Nathan Gill gave that he was paid to give.

How are Reform getting away with this?

Neo-liberalism is failing all around us. The rise of the far-right is a symptom, not the solution.

MSM platforms Farage because he offers hope that the old neo-lib world can continue.

Gramsci warned us: "The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters."

Maureen Pickering @maureenpickering.bsky.social · 2d

I was leafletting recently in a deprived area. I saw several Reform U.K. posters. Farage is a con man who will do nothing to improve the lives of anyone who votes for this company which is masquerading as a party. The BBC and other media outlets are responsible for giving him a platform.

Would anyone believe that the free marketeers control the narrative pushed down our throats by our free but very biased media? Not many left of the generation who remember "managing" before the NHS and Welfare State. Those were not good times. 1% feeling the pinch?? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare....

Labour have fully embraced neoliberalism and have ensured there is no debate within the Party to challenge this. Meanwhile the world over has seen neoliberal economics and politics fail to deliver through its trickle down myth. We now are at a crossroads: Green Democratic Socialism or Fascism.

This is a rose tinted view of what actually is. It underestimates the extent to which the judiciary and media support (passively or by action) the destruction of democracy. It is optimism that buys Trump and his cabal time to finish Project 25 and keeps those in the GOP who see the rot, from acting.
