I see Nigel Farage is back to claiming he "predicted" the war between Russia and Ukraine in the EU Parliament, when in fact he spoke AFTER the annexation of Crimea, to defend Russia and claim it was all the EU's fault.
I did a full fact-check, with clips, here:

Impressive fact checking from @sturdyalex.bsky.social & which major news outlets should be doing.
Was Farage warning us to distrust his every word when he said "To expect people to blindly believe what they are told, I'm afraid the days when we trusted our leaders that much are long long gone."? 😱

We have to start insisting on what is right for Europe, and that needs to become a central part of discussions in the UK. Otherwise it's more piss and wind.

One of the genuinely weird aspects of these long threads about what to do, is the automatic assumptionthat as soon as the UK has decided what it wants (SPS, SM, CU, etc), the discussion is over. I can't tell you how often I've wanted to post: 'Do you think the EU has any agency here?'
