Antifascists are self-funded. They personally pay for their own t-shirts, flags, and posters, and do not receive signs, money, or merchandise. There are no mass payments for transport to events, and they aren't supplied with The Anti-Fascist Handbook or required to attend formal meetings or training. They are simply against fascism that is all.

Since 1980, the ECHR has heard just 29 UK immigrant deportation case, and the UK won 16 of them. Quitting will make no material difference to immigration, just weaken protections for absolutely everybody in this country. But Farage and the Tories know that.

Robert Jenrick owns two £2m homes in London and a £1.1m manor house in Herefordshire. He's shocked by the poor housing conditions in Handsworth, apparently.

Don't forget that 41 Tory MPs in the last government took Russian donations. That might account for media reticence to report on the Nathan Gill case.

Farage has had a long association with Russia, appearing 17 times on the Russian State News channel RT for which he was apparently paid.
Also he said this about Putin. “I was asked a couple of months ago which world leader did I admire and I said Vladimir Putin”
Vote Farage get Putin.

All these flag sh*ggers that think they are being patriotic by supporting Vladimir Farage are deluded.

“Here Farage is, in Gill’s office, with Voloshyn’s wife Nadia, on the day Gill makes an intervention on behalf of Medvedchuk’s channels, with an employee of one of those channels, whose husband started bribing Gill to make these statements 6 days earlier”

'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny

Insiders have told Byline Times, it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

Rachel Reeves set to blame Nigel Farage for tax rises in the Budget, saying he delivered Brexit with “easy sloganeering” and then walked away

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.

How much money has Nigel Farage and Reform UK received from Russian Banks?

Or are we not allowed to call him that?

Greens growing. Reform ratttled.

PS - I changed my name back to my family's original Jewish name because I'm proud of being Jewish. If Tice think that makes me a weirdo, I think that makes him an antisemite.

Tice "green party leader Zack Polanski is a weirdo. Changed his name, claimed hypnosis could increase women's breast size, thinks me should compete in women's sport, thinks women can have a penis. Other than that he's fine. Vote Green. Get weirdo."

I am one of those new members, I have been politically disenfranchised for many years. Finally found my political home.
Just a little nudge, I headed to the merch store to buy my mug - they are all out of stock. 😢
I could get a knock off from Etsy - but that’s not me.
Please get merch back in stock

Leaders have two sets of ethos.
What can I do for my country.
Or
What can my country do for me.
Farage falls into the latter camp, and is no patriot.
All these flag sh*ggers are deluded if they think by electing him they are also being patriotic.

I make it 2093 before Russia occupies the whole of Ukraine at their current rate of advance. However their current annual troop losses of 426k exceeds their recruitment and the 1 million that fled before conscription and lack of manpower will cause the Russian economy to collapse soon.

It was just some sole trader guy here in the UK, it’s quite rustic, you pay many thousands for a fine quality one. I would not recommend him as he used unseasoned wood that moved with time, so we have some remedial work to do as it’s now not very flat with the leaves in.

Jenrick is do nothing man.
He sat on his hands while the prisons overflowed, it wasn’t a sudden thing it was gradual, and he had to have been aware.
So he is very last person who should be allowed to hold a cabinet position ever again.

It’s a SpaceX satellite train. They come out of the second stage like that, and after a time they separate more and are moved to individual orbits.
