A UK presenter shouldn’t crow about an audience’s ignorance of Nathan Gill who took bribes from Kremlin agents & was a close ally of Farage . It shows they have failed to do their job . What next , telling us that Watergate was one of the lowest points in investigative journalism 🥺 ?

Zelenskyy: Farage is infected with the virus of putin

Farage on twitter threatening to sue the Mail on Sunday

Did Farage ever sue the Mail on Sunday?

This threat was issued in June 2025, but I can find no further reference to events after that.

Membrillo is great with loads of different cheeses. Also as sweets if you cut it in cubes and roll in even more processed sugar. Grated some into mincemeat one year for mince pies and that was quite nice.

SHOCK POLL: NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW IN an amazing poll conducted by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like. However, 99 percent of journalists agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

I’ve been saying this for ten years now but possibly not often enough: Ask Them What They Think The Words They’re Using Mean. And then ask them to name the ‘problematic’ people. We had ‘sovereignty’, ‘laws’ & ‘unelected bureaucrats’. The US now has ‘Antifa’, the ‘radical left’ & ‘insurrection’. Ask!

I learnt that word today too. Been playing NYT games?!

The Bishop of Birmingham has written to the Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick about his comments about Handsworth

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

As renewables overtake coal as the world's largest source of electricity, what did we get from the Tory conference?

- repeal the Climate Change Act
- scrap 2050 net-zero target
- remove renewable energy subsidies
- maximise oil and gas extraction from the North Sea

They are so out of touch!

That boundary has already been broken to an extent with things like ClassCharts, which lots of us weren’t comfortable with. A bigger commodification of all of us in terms of data has happened in recent years.

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The BBC has been accused of “extraordinary” anti-Green bias, after the party says a long-promised conference interview with new leader Zack Polanski was cancelled by the Laura Kuenssberg show just days before going to air

Every major political party leader, aside from him, was interviewed recently.

*gasp*

‘Thick as Thieves’: Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage’s Putin Problem Far from being distant from the Reform UK Leader, insiders told Byline Times that the former MEP convicted of bribery was one of Farage’s closest aides, while we reveal how Gill worked on the Kremlin’...

🔴NEW🔴

Thread 🧵

@bylinetimes.bsky.social can now reveal that, during the crucial period when convicted Reform leader Nathan Gill was most active, working directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most senior ally in Ukraine, he was also one of Nigel Farage’s closest confidantes 1/12

This is not the first time a close associate of Farage has been revealed as a Kremlin influencer. By 2018, his aide Kevin Ellul Bonici had been revealed as a Russian propagandist, and the Russian embassy visits of Arron Banks and Wigmore had been exposed by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social 8/12

No one in Reform U.K. Ltd knows Nathan Gill the ex Reform leader in Wales who was convicted of taking bribes to promote Putin’s Russia. Here is Richard Tice not knowing him.

Meanwhile, if you see a clip of me saying the ID card contract has gone to Tony Blair’s son: it hasn’t. That was something I was given to ask about on HIGNFY last night, but turns out to be a false report from the internet. Which is bad news for the fact checkers but good news for social mobility.

YouTube video by The Guardian Patrick Stewart sketch: what has the ECHR ever done for us?

Feels like this weekend is an important time to share this video again...

...what has the ECHR ever done for us?

See if you want to hold a placard saying
“End the genocide.
Starmer is a *****(insert proper word)
The Government is an arse.”
You will NOT be arrested if you are peaceful. No chance. That’s democracy.
Hold a placard saying
“ I support PA action”
You will be arrested.
That’s also democracy.
Easy

🔥 Finally an EU leader says it out loud:

“We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies.”

Oh my god.

Have I Got News For You just referred to this completely false claim as a fact!!

I think we could all get behind this call!

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.
