I think that
@BBCNews
,
@SkyNews

@ITVNewsPolitics
and
@Channel4News
should all be reporting on Reform UK and Russian bribery.

RT if you agree!!

Why are the media ignoring such a blatant story?!

Trevor Phillips on Sky about Trump and the Nobel Peace Prize: “Even long-time critics are conceding he will probably deserve it next year.”

I really don't think that's true. By any normal metric, Trump would and should be the very last person to win the prize, and many people realise that.

Farage, Arron Banks, and convicted Russian asset Nathan Gill have all parroted the Russian lie that NATO and EU expansion provoked Putin into invading Ukraine.

That's a lie for a Western audience. Putin is much more honest about Russia's imperialist motives when he's speaking to a Russian audience.

Maria Popova @popovaprof.bsky.social · 11d

Pu spells out Ru's imperialist motivations for the war. He calls the conquest a long-held dream and historical destiny.

He beclowns those who insist NATO expansion caused the war. Let's see if anyone from the Mearsheimer fan club admits the claim has been falsified.

Farage has given up the pretence that he barely knew Nathan Gill. He can't do otherwise, given the flood of evidence to the contrary.

Here is Gill saying he's just come from having lunch with Farage on the day that Farage resigned as UKIP leader 4 July 2016?

Labour need to shouting this from the roof tops.

They need to be challenging Farage over his multiple jobs.
