Christopher Harborne is by far the largest donor to Nigel Farage he has donated ยฃ13.7m since 2019.

He lives in Thailand and owns QinetiQ defence company which makes Laser and AI weapons for the USA.

Nigel Farage is literally owned by the US Military Industrial Complex.

There may not be obvious parallels with Jan 6th, conduct-wise, but the message is identical: laws are to be abused in pursuit of Trumpโ€™s foes & ignored in relation to his allies. He is telling his base that they can commit crimes with impunity. Fascism 101.

Kind of feels like a big deal that a Reform/Brexit Party former MEP has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian interests in Ukraine, and it feels like a bigger deal that this isnโ€™t being treated as the major scandal that it clearly is.

The richest 3 people have more money than the poorest 4 billion.

But the problem (according to those richest people) is the poor people.

FACT CHECK: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) has no credible link with autism. Tylenol is the leading option to combat dangerous fevers during pregnancy โ€” fearmongering around tried and tested medicine puts pregnant people and children at risk. #impeachthequack

Anyone shocked that Reform plan to deport immigrants with Indefinite Leave to Remain hasnโ€™t been paying attention.

Next it will be stripping citizenship from dual citizens, then deporting them.

Who do you think Reform are?

This.

This is who they are.

Caroline Lucas, "Hopefully people won't forget what Nigel Farage has done with Brexit"

"He is extraordinary in how he manages to be the Houdini of politics, extricating himself from all these disasters he is causing in the country"

"Farage is exploiting grievances"

Reform UK is proposing a "Britannia card" that would let wealthy foreigners pay a ยฃ250k fee to move to the UK, and live here exempt from all tax on their foreign assets

What they don't say: it would cost the UK ยฃ34bn

That was such a shite game. I get the opp will stiffle them but the lack of invention and urgency is worrying. Too regimented and sideways, makes it easy for teams the what to sit deep.

Nigel Farage wants attention for *saying* heโ€™d scrap the 2-child benefit cap. But in the vote against it, did he show up?

No. Zero Reform MPs voted against the cap in July.

Green MPs put it in our costed manifesto, signed the motion, and voted to scrap it. Actions not words.

Auction to Dine With Trump Creates Foreign Influence Opportunity (Gift Article) When the bidding stops Monday, the top buyers of a Trump family crypto coin will win a tour of the White House.

TODAY the NYT publishes an investigation into the Trump memecoin $TRUMP and how it has turned into a extraordinary venue for foreign influence campaigns. What we are seeing is potentially corrupt attempts to change US policy by paying the Trump family money. This is no "Russian Hoax" nyti.ms/4kkv7D7

#TheReformParty and #NigelFarage want to abolish the NHS! Like the US, where millions of people go bankrupt & lose their home if they get ill. Multimillionaires like Farage can afford it. Can you?
