Nigel Farage apologises for 17 breaches of MPs’ code of conduct Reform UK leader, who failed to declare Β£380,000 on time, says he is computer-illiterate β€˜oddball’

No MP should be earning Β£380,000 on top of their parliamentary salary.

Farage manages it because he's turned "politainment" into a viable career. Like his US counterparts he's discovered that being a disruptor can make you very wealthy indeed.

FBI opened probe on Minneapolis shooting; none exists now, Justice Dept. says After the death of RenΓ©e Good in Minneapolis, FBI agents launched a civil rights probe into the shooting. The Justice Department says no such case now exists.

An FBI agent conducted an initial review of the Renee Good killing and determined sufficient grounds existed to open a civil rights probe into the actions of the ICE officer who shot her. Justice Department says no inquiry is warranted. @perrystein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

For well over a decade, Nigel Farage criticised Davos and just two years ago criticised Starmer for going and calling him a

"full-on globalist, hanging out with his mates at the World Economic Forum."

So, question. Where do you think Nigel Farage is going today?

When Mark Carney sets specific goals for Canada to "diversify away" from its reliance on the USβ€”making headlines in Canada but not the USβ€”hear that for what it is: Close partners and allies looking elsewhere for better friends.

This is the silent way that the US loses its pointless trade war.
