🔍 Anton Spisak (Centre for European Reform), observes that, after Brexit took effect at the end of 2020, Britain’s goods exports have grown less than those of any other economy in the G7 club of rich countries.

❌ Brexit is a form of economic vandalism.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

A UK presenter shouldn’t crow about an audience’s ignorance of Nathan Gill who took bribes from Kremlin agents & was a close ally of Farage . It shows they have failed to do their job . What next , telling us that Watergate was one of the lowest points in investigative journalism 🥺 ?

Joy @joybe.bsky.social · 1d

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.

Huge explosions were seen as Israeli air attacks hit a town in south Lebanon, killing at least one person and injuring at least seven others.

The strikes targeted a site that sold excavators and other heavy machinery.

Byline Times has been told by various sources that Farage has maintained a close interest in Ukraine’s conflict with Russia…
But Farage’s ignorance of this particular set of pro-Russian influencers around Nathan Gill is even more questionable….

UPDATE: It took Nigel Farage over two weeks to finally respond to Nathan Gill’s conviction for eight counts of bribery for taking payments from a pro-Russian Ukrainian MP and close associate of one of Putin’s closest allies, Viktor Medvedchuk. Now new information has come to light.

There’s a comment piece in The Times about sickness benefits mysteriously going up and no mention of Covid, long Covid, the effects of lockdown etc. Boosters help people stay healthy, but now they are only available to the very old or people who can afford them.

The actual vial costs about £8.00. The rest is private mark up.

Just back from getting private Covid booster. £105 but money well spent in my opinion. Government will regret penny pinching measure in not offering it free to all frontline health workers.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.
