We've come so far since the original Russia report concluded that there 'probably' was Russian interference but Johnson & his Tory party willingly avoided looking for it.

It's time for a new one. Especially as a Reform Leader & prominent brexiteer has pleaded guilty to accepting Russian bribes.

Establishment media are terrified of this story, as it leads directly to Russian interference in the Brexit vote and that blows everything up

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

Lots of stories about Nathan Gill and Russian bribes.

Too much is focussed on SE.

I still have one (got it in 2019 before they changed the colour and wording) but of course it's now treated the same as the vile blue-black ones.

This is a similar situation to the one with @bendorgrosvenor.bsky.social and the Stuart siblings' portraits: he identified the correct brother.

That wd be more of an X/Twitter thing, I think, certainly with Max. He's a 'Lefty lawyer'.

Well, it looks a good healthy one!

I hate the concept of 'problematic', to start with. It always seems to me used as a sort of mealy-mouthed weasel-word, rather passive-aggressive, not saying what someone rlly thinks.

Yes. And I had no idea that the competition existed, with such interesting costumes re-working traditional themes and motifs.

Dr Nuits de Young @nuitsdeyoung.bsky.social · 2h

Probably a good one for @zackpolanski.bsky.social to highlight
Farage's registered interests are there for context.

It's fascinating, and really beautifully put together as an outfit.
