Any Scottish person voting for these 🤡 really needs to take a good look at themselves in the mirror.

Why are you so determined to be ruled by English public school wankers who hate you rather than "take back control"?

Man of the people latest. All of Farage’s history shows that far from “taking on the globalists” he’s a grifter who milks unsavoury parts of the global elite for all he can get
Nigel Farage attended Davos on a pass sponsored by the family office of Iranian billionaire Sasan Ghandehari, which told the World Economic Forum that the Reform UK leader had advised the company since 2018. ft.trib.al/V138xDu

Fucking LinkedIn man.. Truly the worst of the worst on there.
Someone I used to work with (and thought was a massive tit) has announced the (sad, obviously) death of her mother on LinkedIn (I know) with this sentence: "As a leader, an entrepreneur and human, I am having to grapple with a devastating rite of passage".

It's so exhausting to have to keep making these comments and clarifications all the time... but yes, exactly...
Just reflexively oppositional, YOU NEGOTIATED THIS DEAL! If you'd not held the election when you did, Rishi would have signed it. YOU WERE IN THE FOREIGN OFFICE AT THE TIME.
This is (1) disgraceful at a moment of national danger, (2) laughably unserious and (3) deeply unwise when the President is obviously becoming incapacitated and the most unpopular person in the whole UK. Utterly disqualifying.

Keir Starmer often takes 2-3 days to issue very mild criticism of US actions. This is both direct and issued fast.

I think there is a serious risk that the US miscalculated quite what a big deal the Greenland thing is to Europe (and in Europe).
NEW - Starmer says US "completely wrong" in threatening tariffs over Greenland

Keep watching - Trump and his circle almost have their precious goal: invoking the Insurrection Act.

As per said before: a great deal of what is being done is simply Trump and his circle working backwards from this objective.

The problem is that the child porn website is owned by the richest man in the world, who no one wants to pick a fight with, and even less so now that he's aligned with the president of the U.S., himself a maniacal sex criminal. Nothing gets fixed without breaking the political power of big money
I am once again reminding you all that the UK government introduced an Online Safety Act that is effectively a porn ban on most adult porn websites, but is dithering over banning a website that is actually creating child porn.

The giveaway was Kuenssberg asking a difficult question to Farage rather than tickling his tummy and asking him to rate on a scale of 1-10 how brilliant he is.
A fake interview transcript of a Laura Kuenssberg interview with Nigel Farage in which he storms out of the studio has been shared widely online.

This exchange never happened, and the pictures of it were created with AI.

❤️‍🔥Tory sources confirm that Nadhim Zahawi made approaches to senior members of Kemi Badenoch's team about getting a peerage just weeks before defecting to Reform UK - but was turned down.

Nadhim Zahawi. Patriot.

Who patriotically founded YouGov and patriotically didn't pay £5,000,000 in patriotic tax he patriotically owed the UK.

And all that patriotism while he was briefly made patriotic Chancellor of the Exchequer, responsible for ensuring patriotic UK tax is paid. Patriotically.
Never forget: the people who hate their country most are those who style themselves "patriots".

Daily Telegraph reporting Nadhim Zahawi was denied a Conservative peerage weeks before he defected to Reform, Tory sources claim

Zahawi said to have made "multiple approaches" in late 2024, asking to be on the most recent political peerages list.

"We were very clear he wasn’t going to get one.”

Nadhim Zahawi was made Chancellor by Boris Johnson, only to call for a new leader a day later.

He backed Liz Truss as PM, before being appointed Tory Chair by Rishi Sunak, only to be sacked over his tax affairs.

His defection to Reform UK is another step in an eventful political career.

Remember when we didn't bother getting involved in the first world war because we only had <250k British Expeditionary Force troops to fight the Kaiser. Or when Chamberlain refused to join WW2 because Hitler refused to tell us when he'd shoot himself in the head in a bunker and end the war?
Nigel Farage saying he will do exactly what Putin wants him to do!
If they are given the chance, Reform will betray our Ukrainian allies.
