This Zara Sultana from YourParty is nuts. She has no idea about anything that isn’t 1950’s pacifist tripe. Equalising the end of war in Ukraine as both sides problems and blaming all of us for supporting arms manufacturers and that’s all it’s about now?
Utterly pathetic.

These claims are surfacing only now because Reform is riding high in the polls, claims Farage, lying again.
Here is Farage with the denial he made back in 2013 to Michael Crick on Channel4. As @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk observes Farage ludicrously claims that these allegations have only surfaced now because he’s doing so well in the polls. He’s taking us all for mugs. youtu.be/LM3ggDc34c4?...

No Reform representative on the Laura Kuenssberg show for two weeks running - that's a record! It's almost as though we didn't want to talk about the 28 witnesses to my teenage racism and antisemic abuse.

Question marks, commas, apostrophes, semi colons, etc, were created to help ensure clear communication. By all means don't use them if you feel they are fusty, old-fashioned or somehow un-cool, but get used to having arguments about what you actually mean or simply being ignored as incomprehensible.

I don't understand why the British media allows a far right party funded by the super rich and stuffed full of former Tories to continue to present itself as "anti-elite". It's such a blatant and risible lie yet Farage is never called out on it.

To all UK and European friends - this post must be shared to all you know - Lots of people STILL support Trump/Farage etc but they need to be in no doubt about what they are supporting. Europe and the UK MUST come together and anyone who opposes it - be it on their head if the unthinkable happens.

Have a great weekend and a good night.

The sun settles at the horizon, its warmth lingers in the spirit. The sky glows with colors only evening knows, painting serenity across the land. In this quiet, night arrives with gentle grace.

He’s replaced them with his birthday.

Holy moly, do people still think the U.S. is an ally of Europe? It is now an officially stated foreign policy goal to undermine the EU and centrist European governments that don't ideologically align with MAGA.
Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇
