Nigel Farage should tell the people of #Caerphilly about how he wants to abolish the Senedd.

Actually, no need, we have a video of him saying it.

(Also about how Fox Hunting turns him on).

Boris Johnson broke the news model – smirking as he lied on camera, knowing no journalist would dare call him out.

The joke was on us.

Peter Thurlow reports

How deference becomes client journalism in plain sight

We have come through a period of often shameful journalism, bending the knee to Downing Street. Can our journalism recover?

They both made the same pro-Russian speeches at the EU. The idea that Gill was getting paid and Farage wasn't, is just a joke, Farage does nothing for free.
It's been obvious to anyone with a brain, that he's a Putin supporter.

we know them to be bullies, and are desperate for politicians who are not willing to be bullied. @zackpolanski.bsky.social and his team are so far doing very well sticking to their argument and not getting distracted by the bullies' ad-homimen and what aboutery, which is all they know.

Farage claims Nathan Gill was a "bad apple".

So you can visualise his relationship with other leading figures in Reform as something like this.

Maybe there's something in this Nigel Farage and Nathan Gill Russian bribes story....

Well we don't have dodge bullets at school.
Or ICE thugs coming to kidnap us if we don't have white skin.
Or soldiers marching down the streets, dropping tear gas bombs from helicopters, for literally no reason at all.

So it's not quite as hard as growing up in the USA.

A profound rethinking of the history of #biodiversity.

"In new view, plants did not colonize a barren wasteland, but rather world prepared for them over eons by the ancient and persistent activity of the fungal kingdom."

Earth Was a Fungal World Before Plants Existed

Fungi arose long before plants, shaping Earth with early soils and nutrient cycles. Their hidden legacy shows they may have prepared the world for life to flourish on land.

Nigel Farage says Reform UK will “differ from status quo” in Wales but it’s too early to tell you how.

It’s a re-run of their local elections.

Reform run councils have found little savings and are considering raising taxes the max they can…
