Venezuela wasn’t just a US intervention – it was a stress test. And Starmer's reaction shows how little influence we now have when an ally acts unilaterally.

Thank you to @mrjamesob.bsky.social for having me on, one of the v few people in the UK press to follow this story during what is now a decade of media apathy &/or complicity
‘The threat couldn’t be more urgent and imminent. Yet here we are, still putting our head in the sand.’
@carolecadwalla.bsky.social says it’s ‘peculiar’ that the case of Farage ally Nathan Gill admitting to making pro-Russia speeches for cash isn’t being followed more closely.

Should have been in quotes then. And described as inaccurate, or a pile of stinking bullshit ‘in newspaper parlance’.
Got a weaselly reply back from reader's editor Ashlee Gagui about this lie on the Daily Mail front page explaining why "We are therefore entirely satisfied that there is no possible inaccuracy contained within the page" that broadcast a total lie - apparently it's ok because it was Nigel Farage's
![Thank you for your letter. We are always grateful to receive feedback from readers, be it positive or negative, and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns regarding the front page of Monday’s newspaper.
The headline which you believe contains an inaccuracy was precisely constructed to be read in conjunction with the preamble text – the ‘kicker’, in newspaper parlance – and the following body text. The kicker makes it clear that the headline is a direct reference to Mr Farage countering the attack on his party’s policy proposal as immoral – the last three words, followed by an ellipsis, illustrate that the headline is his view:
[kicker] After PM attacks Reform’s ‘immoral’ policy on scrapping leave to remain, Farage blasts back...
[headline] Worried about immigration? Starmer says you’re racist
[copy] KEIR Starmer was last night accused of insulting millions of voters worried about Britain’s borders... Mr Farage said the claim was an ‘insult’ to millions who want the Government to finally get a grip on immigration, telling the Daily Mail: ‘The Prime Minister has insulted those who believe mass migration should come to an end. Starmer thinks anybody here on a time-limited visa is entitled to stay in Britain for ever. Labour do not believe in border controls – and think anyone who does is racist.’
The body copy then goes on to confirm that the headline is an accusation made against Sir Keir by Mr Farage, whom it goes on to quote](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2kf2qj56o2vq7jfaq4x4ogp6/bafkreia7qrv4k6k2ro4ncrv47m53zzqsdkl376pba2b2mevamzk5o3um2m@jpeg)

Right-wing media fluffs Farage for years, to the point where he now leads the polls, and then start whining about Starmer being 'obsessed' when he starts telling some long overdue home truths. It's actually hilarious.
