1/ "I was completely unaware of any statements that Nathan Gill made" says "stunned" Nigel Farage, who trotted out exactly the same Putin-friendly talking points as Nathan Gill.

Weird how many of Farage's close associates turn out to be deeply corrupt. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Nigel Farage 'stunned' ex-Wales Reform leader Nathan Gill took bribes

Nathan Gill has admitted taking money for pro-Russian statements as a European Parliament member.

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

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.

Leader of the Greens, @zackpolanski.bsky.social, is right that the richest could and should contribute more, while still remaining well off. Also, that they can't pick up and move the land they own: wealth flight is exaggerated.
Britain can be, and must become, fairer.

Former Head of Comms for the IEA, Annabel Denham, says the super rich will leave if we have a wealth tax.

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽‍♂️

About 5000 people joined the Green Party yesterday. People are hungry for a fairer UK! It’s amazing to see so many new members - ready to come on board?

join.greenparty.org.uk

The image shows the words ‘90,000 Green Party Members’, but it is designed to look as if it has been amended with a felt-tipped pen to read ‘95,000’ instead, due to membership increasing so rapidly in the last 24 hours.

A record 1,611 people — including 11 children — died while homeless in 2024.

Both Labour and the Conservatives have failed to fix Britain’s housing crisis.

A home is not a privilege.
