“Here Farage is, in Gill’s office, with Voloshyn’s wife Nadia, on the day Gill makes an intervention on behalf of Medvedchuk’s channels, with an employee of one of those channels, whose husband started bribing Gill to make these statements 6 days earlier”

'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny

Insiders have told Byline Times, it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

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.

Very true, but meh, I spent years in the 70s and 80s watching us dominate games and then get mugged by clearly inferior opponents.

Perverse joy now in now being the “other guys”

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Join us and let's make hope normal again.

Poll from find out now showing greens on 15 and labour and Tories on 17. Reform on 32.

Greens and Lid Dems are going to eat the Labour Party.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 2d

Not only are we at record numbers of members and growing every day - this is our highest ever poll rating.

We're just getting started.

This is the politics of the 99% Vs the 1% for a country we can all afford to live in - plenty of room to grow.

New: Apple banned an app that simply archived videos of ICE abuses. Rather than other apps that record ICE official's real-time location, Eyes Up is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." Videos from TikTok etc. Every submission manually reviewed

Obvious hatchet job, but… Jeezo.

The chap on the left once defended marriage between siblings in a live interview on GB News.

By all accounts it was too much even for GB News viewers.

Under appreciated aspect of the revolutionary 1960s was the radical changes in children’s clothing.

This picture could have been taken at any time in the previous 40 years.

I doubt it could have been taken wven 5 years after.

Elizabeth Svoboda @svobodster.bsky.social · 4d

I was thinking this too. It's as if the late-2024 "mandate" so shook these execs that they think the quake's still underway, even though the aftershocks are fading.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 4d

Do CBS News executives understand that MAGA will not be in power forever? I genuinely think this is lost on a lot of people. They've gotten scammed by bad actors into believing Trump's 2024 win represented something seismic and even permanent. I predict they'll look back on this as a serious error.

Nothing. After 45 years of “trickle down” economic nonsense the jug is up and they know it.

His own party will probably make him Badenochs successor. But then they’ve all been mad since Brexit.

I meant in a wider sense. What on earth is he offering other than “look there is a black person over there. It must all be their fault”

Crazy.
