Given a) Farage's past; b) the expanding story about Russia and former MEPs; and c) media enthusiasm for "what influence is being bought?" questions, if anyone to left of Mussolini is gifted so much as a cup of sugar, why is Reform facing no such questions about Friday's £9m crypto-bro donation?~AA

The Farage Tax: What The UK Pays For One Man's Ego GDP down, investment down, wages down - but Farage’s influence? Higher than ever

www.bearlypolitics.co.uk/p/the-farage...

Farage is in the mud again: police reports over £9k dodgy spending - a refurbished HQ he “forgot” to declare, an armoured Land Rover shoved into “national” costs, and missing receipts everywhere. Add it to the pile: Russian cash, extremist bile, antisemitic bullying - now alleged fraud too.

Trump EPA Nearly Doubles Threshold for Safe Formaldehyde Exposure Chemical industry lobbyists have long pushed the government to adopt a less stringent approach to gauging the cancer risk from chemicals, one that would help ease regulations on companies that make or use them.

They finally got their wish.

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: This week alone, Russia launched over 1,600 attack drones, around 1,200 guided aerial bombs, and nearly 70 missiles of various types against Ukraine.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that the oligarchs, backed by the scum in the Kremlin and the White House, want to carve up Europe between the USA and Russia.

UK EV drivers save £540 more on running costs than those in Germany.

Michael Andrew Harrison, who represents Seaham on Durham county council, is appealing the levy against his business Churchills Management Ltd, arguing that the employee — who is of Thai descent — did have the legal right to work. But the penalty is the latest embarrassment for Reform at a time when Nigel Farage is trying to demonstrate that his start-up populist party can win power and lead the country. Reform has led the polls of voters for most of this year, but with just five MPs there is scepticism about the party’s infrastructure and its ability to vet hundreds of suitable candidates for a general election campaign.

Siri, show me British understatement: "There is scepticism about the party’s infrastructure and its ability to vet suitable candidates." ~AA

The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

Farage urged to ‘come clean’ over alleged election spending breaches in Clacton Reform campaign accused by ex-councillor of falsely reporting expenses during Farage’s run to become MP last year

The pressure keeps mounting on Farage.

At what point does he become a liability to his party?

www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

So a former member of Farage's campaign team in Clacton (who was expelled from the party) says they lied about how much was spent on Farage's campaign in 2024, and submitted fraudulent election returns. This could be interesting, especially since the story has broken in the Telegraph.

Update: Zelenskyy says he has a constructive but difficult talk with Witkoff/Kushner. His team (Umerov/Hnatov) are headed to London, where Zelenskyy will meet with Coalition of the Willing. Herewith, key follow-up meetings are planned in London and Brussels.

Renowned Tory anti Muslim racist (& actual ex adviser to the UK PM), Nick Timothy, is unapologetic about his party's racism, preferring instead to imply that it is probably right to be suspicious of Muslims, and in any event, there's no such thing as Islamophobia.

This story more than any other disgusts me.

Yinka was a little 9 year old boy

Farage was a swaggering bully aged 17

We all knew those bullies at school and in this case teenager Farage was a racist bully too

This is what all sentient readers of the Mail, a small subset, should learn from today's front page.

Luckily, there’s a big spread on it in the Sunday Times where a ‘Reform source’ confirms that Farage can’t apologise to those he racially abused because that would mean telling his support base, “You’re all guilty too.”
So that’s all helpfully confirmed then.
Farage is racist. So are his voters.

Exclusive: Farage reported to police over ‘election fraud’ Former campaign team member’s claim of overspending in Clacton is rejected by Reform UK

Czech President Pavel warns: “If Putin wins in Ukraine, we all lose.” He compared secret U.S.-Russia talks on territorial concessions to the 1938 Munich Agreement, calling them dangerously familiar. Letting Russia emerge victorious from this war, he stressed, would be a defeat for all of Europe.

Pay attention here...

Those that don't think Farage and Reform are racist are Reform and Conservative voters.
Are typically over 50 and are likely unemployed or low waged, likely with reduced education or being general asinine and gullible asshats.
