The thing I'm "stunned" about is why this isn't the biggest domestic news item on every flipping platform

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

Great analysis from Will Hayward...as always 👏.

Will Hayward - Wales Journo @willhaycardiff.bsky.social · 5d

Politicians are using Ukrainian refugees as a political football.

The Welsh Conservative leader says he is against Wales' Nation of Sanctuary policy.

But this wasn't always his position...

It seems his morals have changed because he is worried about Reform taking his votes.

“The second anyone suggests that a man whose entire political career has been devoted to attacking migrants and making discriminatory comments about non-white people, might be a racist, all hell breaks loose”

Enough. Farage is a racist menace. We must say so.

Nigel Farage Is a Racist

The media is refusing to state the most bleedingly obvious facts about a man whose entire career has been devoted to pursuing a racist political agenda

Nigel Farage is a racist. That is my honestly held opinion based on absolutely everything he has said and done since entering politics in the late nineties.

The international right-wing cartel has the UK in its sights, pushing to get Reform into power. Musk & billionaires/Trump/Oil cos/Russia/Saudis/Israel/Orban etc.

The propaganda will only intensify. To fight it, first understand it's happening & who is doing it.

Jane Goodall has died.
She devoted her life to advocacy on behalf of chimpanzees and, after living among them,shared valuable insight into their lives. She advocated too for the wellbeing of other primates and the environment

She has been a magnificent inspiration.
Thank you Jane Goodall ♥️🙏🏽♥️
