Farage insists ex-Reform UK Wales leader convicted of bribery is ‘bad apple’

Farage said he was shocked by Nathan Gill’s admissions relating to pro-Russia statements Nigel Farage has insisted his party’s former leader in Wales who was convicted of taking pro-Russian bribes was a “bad apple” who betrayed him. The Reform UK leader was in Caerphilly campaigning for his candidate in a forthcoming Senedd byelection when he was asked about his links to Nathan Gill. Continue reading...

The announcement of the ceasefire in #Gaza is a relief but it comes after more than two years and over 67,000 lost lives.

The ceasefire must be respected because it's the only way that will allow care to be provided at the scale people desperately need.

It is embarassing not to see the BBC pulling up Reform leaders claiming that Nathan Gill was just some fan who got photos taken with Farage - he was an MEP for them & their leader in Wales while taking cash from Russia to act against the UK! Literally the very basics of your job to point this out

‘When I tell Israelis I’m not Jewish but here to help, grown men cry’ - The Telegraph. Absolutely deluded, who do they think this hasbara is going to sway? A white South African pining for apartheid and a male nurse with an unhealthy obsession with young men. The Telegraph is a cesspool.

Yes, Jabotinsky and revisionist Zionists SAID they were colonizers and that Israel was a colonial enterprise, but obviously they didn't MEAN it, says the Jerusalem Post

In Jabotinsky’s lexicon, the term “colonization” meant the return of Jews to their homeland as a people, not at all foreign to the land. They would be engaged in agriculture, industry, and other enterprises that would create the foundations of a state.

As for “native,” Jabotinsky simply meant the Arabs who have resided in the area of the former Judea since their conquest of the Jewish homeland in 638 CE.

To think he saw those individuals, who weren’t even mentioned in the League of Nations Mandate decision, as being somehow more “native” than the Jews is a devilishly ridiculous proposition.

We call for an immediate halt to the violence and concrete measures to protect civilians. Israeli authorities must ensure safe access to humanitarian aid.

"Speaker Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House may have more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records."

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Dear White Democrats:

The word you're looking for is GENOCIDE. That's what Israel is doing. You won't spontaneously combust if you call evil by its name. It feels good to have a spine.
