As Nigel Farage is now so concerned about the influence of "foreign-born voters" can he finally explain why a Kazakhstan-born billionaire appears to be bankrolling his own political party?

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?

Me neither.

Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

Nigel Farage MP @Nigel_Farage X.com We don't need to take foreign policy advice from the American President. The last time we did that it was called the Iraq War.

Nigel Farage MP @Nigel_Farage The Prime Minister needs to change his mind on the use of our military bases and back the Americans in this vital fight against Iran!

Weasel.

No one who is at all concerned with the national security of the United States can possibly support Trump. This is simply a hideous betrayal of the country and its future in exchange for a bribe.

How Russia’s War Has Devastated Civilian Life in Ukraine - bellingcat Russia's full-invasion of Ukraine began four years ago today. While Ukraine has resisted, the impact on civilian life continues to be severe.

Exactly four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Bellingcat’s Volunteer Community looks back at the data we have collected on civilian harm during this time - documenting attacks on cities and the near-total destruction of rural villages. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/02...

This image has some decorative elements, the Care Opinion logo and a direct quote from the story, which reads the following: “Despite being in hospital for a long period, the ward felt as close to “home” as it possibly could. The environment was always clean, calm and welcoming, and the staff consistently showed compassion, patience and genuine care. I always felt listened to, reassured, and supported both physically and emotionally.”

After spending several weeks on the postnatal ward at #UHW @nhslanarkshire.bsky.social, one mum shared her appreciation for the team who supported her & her family throughout her stay, also recognising individual staff members who made that time easier.

‘It was terrifying’: hundreds fall sick after swimming in bathing waters More than 1,200 people became ill last year, despite most waters being rated good or excellent. One mother said ‘no family should have to go through this’

1,200+ people became sick after swimming in designated bathing waters in England,

75% of those official swimming spots rated “good” or “excellent”.

Sewage dumping continues.

No penalties on water company execs.

The state can't guarantee clean water.

Reform’s Danny Kruger criticises UK’s ‘totally unregulated sexual economy’ Former Conservative laments divorce changes and says Reform UK will pursue policies to boost birthrate

Reform: There's too much state interference.

Also Reform: We will force you to marry, stop you getting divorced, make you have babies, dictate your religious beliefs, control your sexuality, penalise you if you are disabled and deport you if you don't look right.

Reform UK deputy leader reshared social media post calling for Labour MP to be shot We reveal how the deputy leader of Lancashire County Council is to face no action for the shocking post he shared on Facebook

Reform UK will take no action against their deputy leader in Lancashire after he reshared social media content calling for a Labour MP to be shot

Absolutely shameful. Four years of war and the United States sends nobody to mark it.

Reform don't want to regulate your landlord.

They don't want to regulate your employer.

But they do want to regulate your sex life.

So-called 'nudify' apps. Smart glasses that secretly record video. An explosion in sexualised deepfakes.

Tech has turned against women, and it's time to regulate it properly, says author and gender equality campaigner Laura Bates.

Most people in England & Wales are not Christian, and it’s axiomatic to a free society that religious beliefs - or the lack of them - are irrelevant to civic participation. Britain is a pluralist, not a Christian, society; and this is one more reason to fight Reform UK.

Uncle Jeffy Tiedrich says today in his newsletter:

"Here’s one sure way you can tell you’re living in a shithole country: when the following two headlines appear one after another."

Tomorrow everyone will be asking: when will the Russo-Ukrainian war end? The right question is: what can we do to make the Russian invasion fail?

Wonderful blog from our friends @westernhsctrust.bsky.social on @careopinion.org.uk, celebrating the kindness, care and compassion of their staff in 5 recent stories. A great example of celebrating staff and reinforcing what works well for patients. www.careopinion.org.uk/blogposts/13...

Dr. Simpson nails the issue. RFK Jr's demand that all vaccines be tested against placebos reflects a complete disregard for medical ethics. Following the horrors of "Untreated Syphilis Study" at Tuskegee, researches NEVER deny care to study participants. It is immoral to do so, or to suggest it.

There’s surely a German word for loving the humiliation of an idiot while hating the damage done by their idiocy…

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

Grim. One can only imagine what passes for ‘banter’ or ‘locker room talk’ when these ghouls converse in private.

The fake news will say I said what I said in the previous sentence.
