Reform UK, the Russian spy and rolls of Kremlin cash: the inside story of Nathan Gill How did a former Mormon bishop end up pleading guilty to taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia in the European parliament?

The party who claim to be patriots literally had a Reform leadership member caught red handed taking bribes from Russia.

This article details the speeches Nathan Gill gave that he was paid to give.

How are Reform getting away with this?

Is Reform using Sarah Pochin's racist comments to test public opinion? | The News Agents Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin has been condemned for โ€œracistโ€ comments about being driven โ€œmadโ€ by seeing TV adverts featuring Black or Asian families. Is she being used as a โ€œcanaryโ€ by Nigel Farage?

"Nigel Farage doesn't want to be in the burqa chat. He doesn't want to be in the racist chat, he wants to make the party appear more mainstream."

Is Farage using Sarah Pochin as a 'canary' to push the door of racism and test where the public mood is?

Labour demands clarity on Tory plan to strip thousands of right to stay in UK Anna Turley says legally settled people threatened by Katie Lamโ€™s proposals deserve urgent clarification

NEW: Labour chair Anna Turley writes to Katie Lam to ask how Tory policy of revoking indefinite leave to remain would work. She says it would โ€œbreak up families & communities as well as undermining rule of law and trashing our countryโ€™s reputation for fairnessโ€.

This is very revealing. Rather than draw the conclusion that we should give sanctuary to fellow humans fleeing persecution and death, we should instead turn people away so that our population density does not rise very slightly. I mean this is fucking evil.

Wow!

So it's now 5 who recognise the experience and commitment of Jess Phillips, verses 5 who wants her out - a group which includes at least 1 which is working with Reform.

This is now nothing more than Reform trying to destroy the inquiry and undermine the Labour government.

The European Court has already found:

โ€œSufficient credible evidence of a significant and ongoing threat by Russia to the United Kingdomโ€™s democratic processes.โ€

This appeal asks the Grand Chamber to go further - to make protection of democracy a binding legal duty.

This calm, cool decency is dangerously absent from our discourse at the moment. Almost everyone is embracing, normalising or ignoring the 'cruel bigotry, compulsive violence, and the sadistic persecution which has characterised the philosophy and practice of fascism.'
We need more Bertrands.

Wild honeybees now officially listed as endangered in the EU The wild cousins of beehive honeybees are disappearing โ€“ hereโ€™s why that matters

Wild honeybees are more than symbols of nature, writes Dr Arrigo Boito. ๐Ÿ

Theyโ€™re key to pollination, biodiversity and resilience.

Now officially endangered in the EU, they need urgent protection.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel itโ€”pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

All of this is being put out to placate the right wing press...

In the meantime, it's causing fear & confusion. As I understand it:

โ— this only applies to some people on skilled visas
โ— it's not "A level English" it's something called SELT
โ— much the same requirement exists elsewhere in EU

Keir Starmer's 'Brexit Is Bad, Let's Make It a Bit Worse' Strategy The Chancellor just admitted that Brexit has been an economic disaster. It's time the Government stopped making it even worse by imitating Nigel Farage's damaging anti-migration agenda, argues Adam Bi...

It's time for Starmer to abandon the race to keep up with the economy-sapping immigration policies of the man who brought us Brexit in the first place. Until he takes that step, the โ€œsevere and long-lastingโ€ impact of leaving the EU, identified by Reeves today, will only keep getting worse.

Dadโ€™s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending itโ€™s their own fault. So I hope Kemiโ€™s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. Iโ€™ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Johnsonโ€™s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The mediaโ€™s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.
