Farage is in the mud again: police reports over £9k dodgy spending - a refurbished HQ he “forgot” to declare, an armoured Land Rover shoved into “national” costs, and missing receipts everywhere. Add it to the pile: Russian cash, extremist bile, antisemitic bullying - now alleged fraud too.

Trump just confirmed he'll sign an executive order banning states from regulating AI.
It's a huge victory for Big Tech, which has spent millions lobbying to stop guardrails against AI. https://youtu.be/imtkNL4v2ks?si=lA7bwZgq-9DYkij5

UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of key industries since privatisation.
In public ownership that would have gone into infrastructure, lower bills.
Privatisation delivered low investment, high bills, no tax on dividends to foreign investors.

One of the arguments against the insane corrupt 6-3 SCOTUS immunity ruling was that a president could actually, literally commit murder "as an official act." Trump bragged about it.
Roberts scoffed at "hypotheticals."
Here we are, Trump committing over 80 murders & counting with complete immunity.

Trump hates Europe’s democracies because they have universal health care, a strong social welfare system and heavy unionization.
He prefers MBS’s Saudi Arabia, where one trillionaire family runs a brutal dictatorship.
