Nigel Farage is mentioned in the Epstein files.
• Steve Bannon, who had a relationship with Epstein, boasted to Epstein that he was an adviser to Farage

On Musk’s tyrant rant. Spain will ban social media for under 16s is not the headline here.
The headline is a two pronged approach, he’s also going for the CEOs of tech platforms who will face criminal liability if they don’t conform.

Farage used about £33,000 of UK donor money (think impoverished Jaywick Sands, where he was fundraising at the time) to support Donald Trump’s 2024 U.S. election campaign.

Why is Britain poorer? 2025 study by Stanford, KCL, BoE et al, found Brexit left UK GDP 6–8% smaller by 2025, with investment 12–18% lower and productivity/employment 3–4% lower, driven by uncertainty, reduced demand and resource misallocation. Who was the other major architect of Brexit? 👇 Farage.

This one with Jenrick, has never been elected. She walked right into an empty seat in Epping Forest after Reform laid seige to the area with flags of hatred and division. The other one McIvor he is a defected Tory. What a web eh!

DISTRESSING but important: the woman dragged from her car by Trump’s ICE agents says they call the people they seize “bodies.” There’s historical evidence Nazis used the same term (Körper) as part of a system of dehumanising language that reduced people to objects rather than human beings.
You have to watch this devastating Congressional testimony by Aliya Rahman

Aliya Rahman was the disabled woman dragged from her car by ICE several weeks ago.

Everyone saw the video of her being dragged by ICE.

You will be shocked, moved and may cry during her testimony.

Lucy Connolly will be remembered for inciting to burn families alive in their beds. What a legacy to leave her children. She’s still vying attention and desperate to be seen, no matter what. A hole where a soul should be. Here she is being given a heroes welcome by Farage.

WAIT, WHAT! So they’re questioning the women, (Melinda Gates) now about the ex- husband’s behaviour. WHY do they always come for women. And tone of this journo, plus, “give you the opportunity”.

Morgan McSweeney is another one (drunk on power) that we were warned about. Another example of what happens when the rules don’t apply to those deemed ‘high status’ individuals. Politics is filthy right now, needs a complete reset. He has to be a gonner now, surely.

Labour Together put private investigators onto journalists writing about its funding. Starmer's right-hand man knew.

🧵In an odd twist of fate Epstein files might save Britain from more of Mandelson, long accused of playing both sides on Brexit, & Reform. Farage knee deep in files which lay bare his involvement in Bannon’s white supremacy plans, plus his proximity to Bannon - Mr Brexit.
Which brings me to👇

New Age ‘guru’ @deepakchopra has made millions out of telling us how to be better humans. He has a threads account which he keeps on posting to. Since he appeared in Epstein files he has it all locked down. I ask you, is that the action of a guilty ego driven maniac? Or an innocent man?
