shocked, just shocked, that Nigel Farage, a favourite on Russia Today who has spoken of his admiration for Putin & has repeated Kremlin talking points, who was a close associate of Russian asset & Reform politician Nathan Gill, blames *Ukraine*
This disqualifies Farage from any office in the UK whatsoever on national security grounds alone. Tankie nonsense.

Why Nigel Farage’s reaction to the Epstein and Mandelson scandal has been deeply hypocritical, and how his own connections to the story are much closer than he now admits

The Reform leader's own connections to the Jeffrey Epstein story are far deeper than he now pretends

HMRC won't admit how much tax is lost offshore.

Major corporations dodge taxes by shifting profits to low/no tax jurisdictions. Wealthy use offshore havens.

Opacity means HMRC, Govt and tax abuse industry can't be held to account.

Normal people pay more in tax.
HMRC won't admit how much tax is lost offshore
The taxman has the numbers needed to estimate how much cash is lost to overseas havens – but it isn't sharing the details

I would rather Starmer and the labour party focus on issues of controlling wealthy oligarchs and the abuse of democracy and the harm they do to innocent victims. Campaign on those issues. Campaign to join SM. Campaign to have fair society and defence. Stop fighting each other.

Brexit is simply not credible any more. Economically, socially or from a security point of view. It is just not credible to keep it going. It endangers and impoverishes us all.

From Oct 24 -Sep 25 there were also falls in knife crime and gun crimes, recorded by police.

But shop theft rose to 519,381 offences.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Once again:
Ukraine is NOT russia.
Ukraine is NOT a russian colony.
Ukraine is NOT "within russian sphere of influence, and thus should be given to russia as a property".
Ukrainians are NOT russians.
Ukrainian land is NOT russian land.
Ukrainian culture is NOT russian culture.

1. We, Ukrainians, want to live.
2. We want to live in our sovereign independent state. Not russia.
3. We want to have our cultural identity and language. Not russian.
4. We want to decide our own future.

And russia has no legal or moral right to deny us any of this.

"Russia wants peace," they said. That’s why the night and morning in Ukraine looks like this: russian massive combined attack on Ukraine using ballistic, cruise X-101 and Caliber missiles, aircraft guided missiles, and UAVs.

I love Ukrainian memes. And I love how people are already mocking the United States for having yanukovich as president and in speedrun mode. Good luck I guess.

the Russians launched these attack drones on Sumy children hospital last night
