In 2025, Russia has been framing the EU and Ukrainian leadership as "warmongers", who don't want to stop the war in Ukraine. This, of course, is an outright lie. In reality, it's the Kremlin who has rejected at least seven peace proposals in 2025 alone.

Apparently, no one in media can get hold of anyone from Reform for comment on Nathan Gill, their dismal performance in local councils or Farage’s alleged conduct at school. They appear to be practising a technique which attempts to silence criticism by refusing to provide a right of reply.
