Elon Musk funds Tommy Robinson.
Nigel Farage travels to the US to lick Donald Trump's boots once a month.

The UK Media is very interesting, Angela Rayner who tried to avoid tax was on the TV and in Media every day of the week.

But Reform UK's ex-Welsh Leader pleads guilty to Bribery Charges.

Can't be having bad PR for Reform.

Are Democratic leaders making cities more dangerous than Republicans? Trump + others have repeatedly made claims like this. New paper in Science Advances w/ @chriswarshaw.bsky.social, Dan Jones & Matt Harvey shows that, in short, the answer is no.
