Ian Dunt - When I visited Auschwitz many years ago, someone in our group said that this is what happens when extremism flourishes. Our tour guide replied: “This place is not explained by extremism. It is explained by conformity.”

Do Reform groupies hear about Brexity millionaires living it up in Europe and think, “fair play”? And not….

The rot is finally surfacing.

A former Brexit Party MEP - named in WhatsApp messages alongside jailed Reform UK leader Nathan Gill - is now denying pro-Russian payments after being linked to a Putin-aligned influence network.

Donald Trump destroyed public service broadcasting in the US - it's little surprise Nigel Farage wants to do the same thing here.

Trump’s America, don’t let it become Farage’s Britain.

Our airports are open.
We feed our poor.
Everyone has healthcare.
We have allies.
We don't stab friends in the back.
Our leadership is sane and thoughtful.
We don't snatch people off the streets.
We have rule of law for everyone.

Why would anyone think we'd want to be a 51st state?

Britain is not a country of racist bigots.

Time for the decent majority to "take back control".

Repost if you agree.

It's because too many MPs didn't bother to vote, on the grounds that it was "only" a 10-minute rule motion.
Today was a very easy opportunity for the Commons to hand Farage a resounding and humiliating defeat. They missed an open goal because 337 Labour MPs recorded no vote.

Farage's motion on leaving the European Convention on Human Rights failed: 154 votes to 96

All 4 @greenparty.org.uk MPs voted against it, because we believe international agreements on human rights are a good thing.

But only 63 out of 401 Labour MPs did:

The United States is no longer negotiating with Canada because the America's Republican President does not understand his predecessor's view of tariffs.

Forget the clip that worries the President. Reagan was consistent, and here's a different speech where he made his case.

Here's Farage thanking pro-Russian fascist Steve Bannon for his help in the referendum campaign.

The video continues with Farage with Murdoch and Lebedev at the latter's post referendum garden party.

Farage is no patriot. He's a treasonous tool of foreign powers and elites.

That scene of the Welsh BBC correspondent being the only person interviewing Caerphilly's new Plaid AM while the rest of the media interviewed Reform's loser in the background was far too on the nose.
