When we recorded the last ep of the pod, things were looking up. It was happy and positive.

The Green Party and Hannah Spencer's amazing by election victory.

The next EP may be a bit more bleak!

But enjoy some happiness for now.

An article in two parts:

1 — A beginner's guide to crypto.
2 — Should Reform UK be accepting crypto donations?

I spent a couple of weeks speaking to experts and learning about a previously unknown world to me. It ended up in this gargantuan article.

I'm still not here very often though!

I didn’t know that but it doesn’t surprise me.

One of the world’s worst human beings.

Reform UK Donors & Jeffrey Epstein Taking Candy from the Wealthy

I cross-checked every Reform UK donor with the Epstein Files.

Nick Candy is all over this, but there are others, including Sotheby's that are up to their neck in this.

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social has been warning us all of the dangers of linking up with Palantir and Peter Thiel, a man who wants to destroy the NHS. Here @donmcgowan.bsky.social gives us more detail. Our PM should be ashamed of getting in bed with Palantir.

Two episodes of @noholdspod.bsky.social out for this week.

@badassmutha.bsky.social and I did a full Farage Lie Count™ yesterday while he was on Times Radio talking about PMQs.

And today's episode is a fairly harrowing tale of the State of America. The title says it all.

YouTube video by No Holds Barred Pod EP 38 — PMQs Unravelled — Farage’s Lies Dissected

@donmcgowan.bsky.social & I had some "fun" on @noholdspod.bsky.social unravelling #PMQs & dissecting #Farage lies yesterday. You too can have some "fun" by guessing how many porkies the gammon produced😉
youtu.be/qhav_sHXLT0?...

We can't quite believe what is happening with Farage taking cash to avoid his own job in PMQs tomorrow.

So, as a countermeasure, we'll be live-streaming our very own watch along and try to fact-check him as he speaks!

Join us on @NoHoldsPod YouTube channel and on 𝕏. Link below!

Cheers for that. 👍
