Mockler: You said that Democrats are dying on this hill, but a lot of Republicans are climbing up the hill right now. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been outspoken about it. Mike Johnson got confronted on C-SPAN the other day by a Republican…

Yes, possibly true, but afraid of what, exactly? Without playing the conspiracy theorist, it feels like there’s more to this lack of MSM engagement, given there’s enough smoke to warrant further inquiries in the public interest - you’d think investigations would extend beyond Jukes and Cadwalladr.

Trump’s useful idiot - weak, slippery and despicable. History will not be kind to Mike Johnson, and deep down you sense he knows it!

Posts go unseen, comments ignored, clunky functionality… I love the Bluesky community, but is it a bit shit as an interactive social media platform?

Tumbleweed incoming….

Why is no one picking up this story beyond Byline?

If you're concerned about who will govern Britain after the 2028 general election, I'd urge you to engage with this investigation and its wider implications. Key questions remain unanswered - it is time this story received mainstream coverage commensurate with the seriousness of the allegations.

More of this please…

Zack Polanski, "Reform UK's Zia Yusuf was full of b*llocks and I think it was important to call that out on #BBCQT"

"What has become clear about Reform UK, they're a bunch of cowards"

Most people seem to have missed who retweeted this picture of Farage in Gill’s office a few days after Gill began receiving his first bribes from Oleh Voloshyn (Oleg Voloshin). None other than…

It’s not even arguable - it’s bloody scandalous, bordering on criminal. Water chiefs lining their own pockets, shareholders scooping record dividends, meanwhile promised upgrades fail to materialise and we pay through the nose, both as consumers and taxpayers bailing out a rotten industry.

Slippery as f*ck

Jeffries: “Republicans acted with great urgency to swear in two right-wing members of congress to do in the American people… What is the delay with respect to Representative-elect. Grijalva? Anything to do with Republicans continuing effort to hide the Epstein files? Inquiring minds want to know.”

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

The Tories are done…

Mel Stride = Roger Irrelevant.

With the UK media eating out of Farage’s hand, THIS is the moment to go hard on Reform and demand answers RE possible Russian links beyond Nathan Gill. 👇

Keep pushing, inquiring, reposting as we seek clarity and meaningful media coverage with investigations. Don’t let this opportunity slip away.

And yet - nothing about this is on the BBC main app.

It’s hidden under Welsh news.

Nothing in the Daily Mail, Express, The Sun, The Times.

Seems like Farage’s opinions on everything make front page news EXCEPT when one of his guys admits to taking Russian bribes….🤷🏼‍♀️

13/14

So to recap:

🟣Farage made Gill Welsh UKIP leader

🟣Gill left UKIP 2 days after Farage and has admitted to his first count of Russian bribery THE SAME DAY

💎Gill joined Brexit party and re-elected to Brexit Party during the bribes period

💎Gill made Welsh Reform UK leader

11/14

What an album.

President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers:

“It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

While the likes of Neville and Keane hold prominence in the football media ecosystem, the rest of us will continue being subjected to endless snooze-inducing discussions about Man Utd. In an equitable world, we would stop talking about them now. They are irrelevant to top tier football. End of.

Anyway…
Where are the #EpsteinFiles?

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

No 'ifs' or 'buts' - Ged rid... Now!

The irony…

Clarkson schooled over his #Rayner comments…

Nailed it.

On the same day in the Telegraph:

Possibly, although I’d posit he’s far more slippery and potentially dangerous than Cruz. His party only has 4 parliamentary seats, yet with the UK media constantly platforming his divisive rhetoric, Farage is currently on course to become Prime Minister in 2028 - catastrophic for the UK and beyond.
