ThisπŸ‘‡. Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees Mogg should all be brought before a parliamentary committee to explain their connection to Steve Bannon, Jeffrey Epstein, the Brexit referendum and Russian interference in our elections. What is the punishment for treason?

Farage's Welsh UKIP leader is in prison for being a traitor. His Reform treasurer is in the Epstein files, as is Farage due to his close links to Bannon. No outrage from the RW press.

We need misinformation laws, to stop foreign ownership of the press & ownership by people living in tax havens.

Not yet. Though I can’t stand watching news part, the rest of BBC is still watchable. Johnson knew what he was doing and it would be a shame to give in to Murdoch. Gibb needs to go..

I agree totally. Murdoch media isn’t better though. Nor GBnews.

Remember Murdoch wanted Johnson to cull it and it was still respected then. He filled it with right wing cronies in order for half the population to diminish popularity. So if it goes, what will come? FoxUK?

And just have Murdoch media telling us what to think? That worked well in US didn’t it?

This is why I've taken to ignoring British msm and 'journalists'. They created the narrative around Starmer and the Labour govt. Just look at the state of BBC political 'news' reporting, trash of the highest order. If they'd been on side Labour wouldn't be struggling.
Self-fulfilling propaganda

Oh, god. Are we still banging on about Starmer's leadership because every right-wing pundit got it wrong in spades over the last week?
The news is that our fourth estate has lost the fucking plot.
Where's the focus on Palantir, Brexit, Fartage and the pollination of their treason by Epstein?

Tories gave him contract before finishing negotiations apparently and giving him a huge penalty clause. See Good law project. :(
And he wants to privatise NHS. :(

I dislike NHS involvement with Palentir and support the Good Law Project seeking legal action against them but apparently there is a huge leaving penalty clause.. anyone know any more about this? I can’t find where I read about it.

Oh, I just thought perhaps you’d know. I’ll follow him. I’m lucky enough to be in Wales. Labour devolved government refused Palentir when Tories brought the company in + also negotiated a nice fat leaving penalty for kicking Palentir out which may explain English Labour continuing to use it.

How are Greens going to deal with American capitalism and the corporations? I know what I’d like them to do but American corporations have been allowed to take over so much in UK and it will take years to take back/wean people off. X
Btw I’m not convinced Starmer is sucking up to Trump willingly.

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit

Both, as I wrote at time, were β€˜abject failures of journalism’

'The Conservative (Tory) government was responsible for negotiating and awarding major contracts to US data analytics firm Palantir Technologies, particularly concerning the NHS and the Ministry of Defence.' Shouldn't the press have picked up on this when Tories gave out contracts?

The Times calls Keir Starmer's decision to hire Peter Mandelson an "egregious error" which deserves an "inquiry into the appointment process."

Not included is any demand for an inquiry into their own appointment of him, long after his post-conviction relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was exposed
