It is no great surprise that the popularity of the Green Party is growing. I think they were once regarded as somewhat extreme. Now they seem to the only voice defending what many people prize.

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine.

My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_newsย in which we ask:

Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

Michael Gove admits that post-Brexit trade deals were bad for farmers Michael Gove has admitted for the first time that the Australia and New Zealand trade deals negotiated by the former Tory government did not protect Britainโ€™s farmers.

This deserves more attention than it has received.

Gove: "we were too anxious as a government to secure those deals in order to show that Brexit was working".

Exactly as so many of us warned at the time, and as the government denied at the time.

So it now appears the woman Farage and Gill were so close to has a direct link not only to Putinโ€™s โ€œMan in Ukraineโ€ Medvedchuk, but his predecessor as President, Medvedev

These are top Russian agents.

BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country

BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

Under the last Tory Govt, elected in 2019, of 42 Manifesto Pledges, only
2 were delivered in 5 years.
Under the current Labour Govt, elected in 2024, of 83 Manifesto Pledges, 57 are delivered (18), on track (19), or in process (20).

I was quite surprised, given the amount of negative press that would have you believe that this government is the worst weโ€™ve had yet.

Iโ€™ll put the link in the next post but given we had a complete shit show with the Tories, this is astonishing. Do reshare or bookmark the link, itโ€™s handy.

As Argentinaโ€™s economy starts to rapidly unravel, letโ€™s never forget the comments by our own politicians.

Reform UKโ€™s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill.

Farage is still silent.

Itโ€™s deafening.

Hmm. Badenoch may be the modern equivalent of Foot. But Jenrick would be even worse so it doesnโ€™t really matter whether she stays or goes.

And yet - nothing about this is on the BBC main app.

Itโ€™s hidden under Welsh news.

Nothing in the Daily Mail, Express, The Sun, The Times.

Seems like Farageโ€™s opinions on everything make front page news EXCEPT when one of his guys admits to taking Russian bribesโ€ฆ.๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

So yes, UKIP/Brexit/Reform are all largely the same party

Brexit/Reform is literally the same party

Yes, Gill was very much Farageโ€™s guy in Wales

The bribes happened during his time as Brexit party MEP with Farage

This is 100% Reformโ€™s man

Reform UK's ex-Wales leader Nathan Gill admits pro-Russia bribery Nathan Gill admits eight charges of bribery while being a Member of the European Parliament.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician.

He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales.

A Brexit Party MEP.

A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:

"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."

This is a MASSIVE story

One thing making Trump so difficult to deal with is that it's impossible to separate his politics from his grotesque ego. He's obviously a hugely damaged, possibly deranged, person, but he articulates it through politics. I'm not sure that's ever been the case for the leader of a democracy before.
