Putin has claimed Ukrainian defenders in Kupiansk were surrounded by russian troops.
He even invited international media there to verify it.

President Zelenskyy did some mythbusting, visiting the city.

Kupiansk is Ukraine.

If the media wants to hyperventilate over the polling that puts Farage in No.10, perhaps they could put the same energy into scrutinising his every link to Russia, his dodgy donors, his US/Trump/far right connections, his brazen racism, his councils’ incompetence and his barrelling Brexit shitshow.

These of course are the sorts of account that get boosted under Musk’s X. If you’re still on the platform for engagement, you are a mug.
X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Pretty crucially important information that MSM, after beating us over the head for days over Panorama’s editing of Trump’s 6th Jan uprising speech, doesn’t appear to be prepared to address and MPs seemingly unwilling to address.
One frustration of watching MPs ask questions for an hour is that they're not very good at it. Prescott has not been asked about the fairly glaring errors in his own report – that *it misquoted Trump in exactly the same way it says Panorama did*

Well done @lbc.co.uk facilitating Farage to collude with Alex Jones in promoting spurious conspiracy theories.
Nigel Farage using his LBC studio access to appear on Alex Jones Infowars in 2018 + claim EU response to Syria was because "the globalists have wanted to have some form of conflict with Russia as an argument from Brussels to surrender our national sovereignty and give it up to a higher global level"
