Keir Starmer on Nadhim Zahawi's defection to Reform UK:
"I don't know which is more pitiful - the flood of former Tory MPs deserting her sinking ship or the Reform Party so desperate to launder any old, failed Tory politician."

Steve Baker prominently displayed the Vote Leave pledge to "give our NHS the £350m the EU takes every week" on his website during the referendum campaign.
It was actually £161m. He knew this but promoted the Brexit Bus lie anyway.

Steve Baker was linked to a group that channeled £435,000 to the DUP, to promote Vote Leave in the final weeks of the Brexit campaign, at a time when NI donations could be anonymous for security reasons. (July 2017)

I am so tired of pundits saying he's a "great communicator". Based on what evidence? He's hopeless at dealing with any probing questions. He simply made a name by being willing to pander to the worst instincts of a vocal minority, and had an instinct for monetising that.

"[Farage's] presence felt like constant noise. The persona he had adopted was destructive and intolerant of anything non-British. He wasn’t very good at anything – no great orator, charismatic, or engaging. Being vitriolic was the only way he’d get noticed."
So, he was then *exactly* who he is now.

A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.
He was bundled into the van & taken away.
Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”
I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

Corporations funded Trump and his entourage and their return is mineral and asset grabs, overriding international laws, shelter from competition and making excess profits.
