“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” 👏

There seems to be some *confusion*
among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them

“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”

“But, but he was in UKIP”

“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”

So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵

1/14

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

Sourdough bread. It's always dry and if you toast it it'll tear your mouth apart.

Yeah, I just celebrated when the Americans chipped in. Eurgh.

OK, I've read that carefully and still have no idea what this is.

Racism has no place in football or in society. We stand in full support of Jess Naz following the horrific abuse she received on social media, and no player should ever be subjected to such hatred.

Strong lineup. Shows we actually have depth now.

An array of 9 purple discs on a blue background. Figure from Hinnerk Schulz-Hildebrandt.

A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue.

The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea.

A Population-Based Study of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Vaccination and Autism | NEJM It has been suggested that vaccination against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) is a cause of autism. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all children born in Denmark from January 1991 th...

Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism. Here are two of the best.

This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

Well we did ask that he drops the facade!

But you have the memory of the eating of the prawn crackers and noone can ever take that away from you.

Susan, I hope I look as good as you at 102!

He really is different gravy

Richard Clayderman, with the tone control turned all the way down so there is no treble whatsoever.

That is absolute peak Joe Jackson.

Very odd watching BBC News talking about the Lib Dem conference and mentioning how the party has struggled to break through in the media like it's nothing to do with them.

One word.

Servalan.

Trump ain't sleeping tonight. 🤣

This is a must-watch. 🔥

Halfway through on Kindle and thoroughly enjoying it.

I feel vindicated.

Well, not *quite* but pretty well.

Fantastic match. I was at the first day with a friend, we both wish we'd done all four now.

Rhetoric that advocates for limiting their freedoms is going to do great damage to normal, hard working, law abiding people.

Time to update your priors.

2000: Electricity was confined to use cases like cooling, electrical equipment, lighting, trains etc.

2025: 75% of the global energy system can be electrified ⚡️

Transport, heating, cooling, industrial heat...it can now all be powered by electrons

Agreed, it's daylight robbery.

Oh, it's Prime. That's a relief, I have that.

I'm sympathetic to you not having it though.
