Look at the bullshit being posted about Nigel Farage.

$5m and the shoddy website reporting it were the giveaway.

Reform UK will no doubt allow this to circulate rather than clarifying.

Ketamine is an increasing public health concern in cities like Liverpool. There are growing reports of very young people suffering with debilitating impacts after heavy use of the drug. I delved into the growing crisis in the city for this premium long-read.
Cheap deals, lies and a spiralling health crisis in our city
Liverpool tackled its 1980s heroin epidemic but a new crisis is taking hold, fuelled by criminal gangs, misinformation and social media

Here is Pete Hegseth, on several occasions in 2016, lauding the military "ethos" that means they will refuse to follow unlawful orders - which he reckons is treason, now that they are his orders - because "there have to be consequences for abject war crimes".

Deserves to go viral.

“Totally normal presidential behavior: waking up and rage-posting a 900-word breakup fanfic about Marjorie Taylor Greene. Apparently she was ‘jilted.’ America’s main concern this morning: who knew the Oval Office doubles as a middle-school cafeteria?”

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

HegSSeth and all the other Trump goons will face their day of reckoning
Hegseth should spend the rest of his life in jail for this.
Over the past three months, the U.S. military has been firing on boats from South America, killing more than 80 people in a campaign the Trump administration says is aimed at drug traffickers. Now, top Republicans have joined Democrats in calling for accountability.

Palestinian prisoner Abdulkarim Sanobar’s home in the occupied West Bank was blown up by the Israeli military, after he was accused of a bomb attack on empty buses in February.

Rights groups say blowing up the homes of prisoners is collective punishment and a war crime.
