BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?

Farage's protégés, colleagues & close friends.
Not sure shouting "Bernard Manning" like a closing time drunk will help much here.
Three more British MEPs in Nigel Farage’s bloc now alleged to have “followed the script” given to Nathan Gill by an alleged Russian asset, according to prosecutors.

At least eight UKIP and Brexit Party MPs were focus of efforts by Nathan Gill

🔴 Nigel Farage’s Reform is more reliant on super-rich backers than any major party in modern British political history

75% of *all* Reform donations *ever* have come from just three rich men

Is this what democracy looks like?

“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising”

Crypto investor and former Tory donor Christopher Harborne has just given a record-breaking £9 million donation to Reform.

Nigel Farage has spent recent months publicly calling for deregulation of the crypto industry, telling an industry conference that "I am your champion"

The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

Since Putin totally rejected Trump's alleged "peace plan", shouldn't the response from a President who isn't bought by Vlad be to turn on the flow of all needed military supplies to Ukraine?

I am begging one, JUST ONE, congressional reporter to follow up with Mike Johnson by asking, "What are the American people to make of a Speaker of the House who tells us daily that he's not aware of what's happening on Capitol Hill and the White House?"

Trump hits a new low: He just pardoned a man who killed more Americans than Osama Bin Laden. Juan Orlando Hernández, the former president of Honduras--was a key figure in flooding the US with cocaine. Nearly 30,000 Americans die from cocaine overdoses per year. Many from Hernandez's cocaine.

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:

"The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order."

That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?
We kept the receipts. These comments, taken together, paint a picture of the man he is today.

The thing about Farage obviously being a racist in youth and his obvious racism as an adult is that it won’t make a difference to all the obvious racists that will vote for him.
