There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend.
I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Billionaires buy power, rig systems, and walk free after crimes that would destroy ordinary lives. It’s time to expose their impunity and demand accountability.

Discussing Bluesky migration in terms of liberal flight misses the simple fact that most people use social media for fun not influence and this platform, unlike X and cruddified Facebook, doesn’t feel like you’re wading through shit to reach your friends. It’s not that deep.
