There's also another slightly more concerning espionage case, regarding Russia, which is not getting the airtime and front pages it probably deserves....a bit of a shame is that. 🤔

Does anyone actually call the hypocrisy out to these people's faces when they spout this claptrap?

They have no shame and they're getting away with lying in plain sight.

Tesla is sitting on nearly a billion dollars of unsold Cybertrucks. Now Elon's using the imaginary value of SpaceX and xAI to bail out Tesla... While asking Tesla investors for a blank check to "invest" in xAI. The entire empire is a giant scam. #teslatakedown www.dailykos.com/story/2025/1...

Cybertruck sales are so bad Musk is selling them to ... himself

You wanna see a dead body? Third-quarter sales numbers for Tesla’s misbegotten Cybertruck are in, and it is definitely spooky season for tech titan Elon Musk, who moved only 5,385 of the hideous ...

Farage told Laura Kuenssberg on her BBC show that Warwickshire Council had blocked Reform’s inquiries into its financial accounts but a Freedom of Information request shows that Reform never made such inquiries.

Nigel Farage wasn't telling the truth on Laura Kuenssberg

Reform wants to be obstructed by council workers, but it has to try first

Well-known internet personality Robby Roadsteamer makes fun of ICE and calls them Nazis. They prove his point & come out to arrest him for trespassing after shoving him over the property line.

Just like Russia, if you protest the regime, men with guns come to take you away.

It’s time that Russia’s malign influence on British politics was properly investigated.

Agree? Add your name 👇🏻

It’s time for a REAL Russia report

Putin’s fingerprints are all over our politics. It’s time to prove it.

These 2 speeches, which, as Nick points out, on the same day, precede what Gill has pled guilty to by 4 years, are more damning for Farage as they also precede Brexit.

All European secret services would have been alarmed by this & would/should have been investigating.

Nice of U.K. media to finally realise that there’s a link between Moscow & the European far right.

If you followed my on the bad place you’d know I had a pinned thread highlighting these links stretching back to 2014.

But well done peeps. You got there in the end.

So while they're blocking the release of the #EpsteinFiles are they quietly but effectively destroying all the evidence?

It's what any normal dictatorship would do.
