Farage 'stunned' ex-Wales Reform leader took bribes

Kevin Davies @kevcapelnewi.bsky.social · 1d

Reform initially put out a message that Farage didn’t know Gill, despite being an MEP at the same time (one of four!). Today, BBC Wales news carries a story about Farage being shocked at Gills conviction, and advising him not to visit Ukraine because of corruption etc etc. Strange memory lapse that

Surely not, given that he’s such an advocate for free speech

Exactly. Reform were allowed sweeping, racist statements.. always preceded with the words “ it’s a proven fact…” without question nor challenge

Kevin Davies @kevcapelnewi.bsky.social · 1d

All Zack did was hold up a mirror to Reform… arguably the media’s job. Begs the question why did it take so long to happen? Such was the easy ride given to Reform you can visibly see that they have no idea how to handle proper scrutiny.

Kevin Davies @kevcapelnewi.bsky.social · 1d

He calls out Reform bluntly and clearly: calling them the racists and fascists they so obviously are. It clearly shows the repeated failings of our media to do so. Also, Reform don’t know how to react, because for the first time ever, they’re being held to proper scrutiny

It's incredible that this is the first time we have really seen any politician or anybody call out Reform, their tactics and their racism clearly and bluntly. Because I tell you, when you do it becomes oh so obvious. Keep on doing it and reform become the joke they deserve to be

Just you watch our media crucify him from now on. He’s talking sense and connecting with people so in their eyes… he’ll have to be eliminated.

Don’t let them do it!!

It’s ironic that a former grandee of the Tory party is the only person with enough common sense to state that the Emperor certainly has no clothes..

Heseltine thinks we should throw Brexit in the bin.

I agree, do you?

Just walked in from living room to kitchen and saw the clock on the cooker say 19:39. Had to remind myself that it was referring to the time of day and not the year …

It's incredibly annoying that modern life has worked out in such a way as I keep agreeing with Michael Heseltine on stuff.

BBC Newsnight @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social · 4d

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

You would expect a responible and functioning news service to not just blindly quote this, but point out that the ability to celebrate your freedom when you choose is its very definition...

This is how you do it. @willhaycardiff.bsky.social with the figures on Welsh government spending on refugees, mainly Ukrainians. It’s 0.038% of their total spending. Not the huge amount the Tories would have you believe.

Because most of the ‘journalists’ are straight out of Uni and know nothing else but how to take a Press release off the Wire. They have forgotten that they’re supposed to also scrutinise

Just heard Chris Philp on BBC’s Today programme explaining why the Tories want to leave the ECHR. He claimed ECHR isn’t mentioned in Belfast Agreement - which is simply untrue. The UK govt agreed to incorporate it into NI law & give direct access to the courts (Strand 3). Why no BBC fact-check?

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Let’s settle this, is Nigel Farage a racist?

Like if he is.
RT if he is Donald Trump's little bitch.

Donald Trump is banned from ever receiving the Nobel Peace Prize because he renamed the Department of Defense the Department of War.
