On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

I disagree.

RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

We need to improve the conversation
We all have mental health in the same way we all have physical health.

We need to talk about it more freely.

Humor, whimsy, levity = powerful tools in disproving the lies of the regime. We are not violent domestic terrorists. We are non-threatening Americans in silly costumes. This is how we make the regime look both extreme (bc they are) and show their claims are ridiculous.

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.
SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

It is embarassing not to see the BBC pulling up Reform leaders claiming that Nathan Gill was just some fan who got photos taken with Farage - he was an MEP for them & their leader in Wales while taking cash from Russia to act against the UK! Literally the very basics of your job to point this out

Foxglove analysis, covered in last Sunday’s Observer newspaper, showed that just TEN of these new data centres will belch out enough polluting carbon emissions to cancel out ALL of the carbon emissions saved in 2025 by UK drivers switching to electric cars.

Research has underlined the lack of transparent and reliable figures for expected emissions driven by data centre growth

So there’s a pattern emerging.. Councillors “defect” to Reform then refuse to resign and fight a by-election as Reform candidates

But why❓🤔

Ahh yes bc they wouldn’t win.. so Reform gains power by the back door

As for those of colour joining it’s like a hen quitting the henhouse to join foxes 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️

Rather than investing in our recycling industry – which could create 5,000 jobs, as well as having an environmental benefit – the UK is dumping more and more plastic waste on other countries.

It’s shortsighted, it’s irresponsible, and it’s immoral.

🔴 NEW - Nigel Farage and the Brexit cabal are frothing with rage because their immigration promises came true.

The receipts show they all advocated for this exact immigration system 👇🏻👇🏻
Has Farage forgotten his own immigration promises?
We have the receipts, Nigel...
