'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny Insiders have told Byline Times it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

Can't resist.

How do you approach an angry Reform UK leader in Wales?

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

The Justice Department had 36 attorneys assigned full-time to investigate corrupt politicians when Trump took office in January.

Today it has two.

See how this works?

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Britain has some of the best wind, tide and wave energy potential in the whole of Europe. We could be an energy powerhouse exporting electricity across the continent. A boom for Britain.

But Farage the Tories and their big oil backers want to keep us shackled to foreign oil.

Brits could be banned from holiday homes under EU's 90-day rule The EU has ordered member states to apply the 90/180-day rule 'rigidly', meaning Brits who overstay could be hit with hefty fines of up to Β£8,700 and even ten-year bans from entering the bloc.

The headline should read: Since 2020, Brits could be banned from the EU due to Brexit removing our status, freedoms, and opportunities as European citizens. Now it will be harder to cheat the 90/180 rule.

Also another example of the UK tabloids hating it when the EU takes 'control' of its borders

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

Twenty Tory councillors defect to Reform this morning The defections come a day after a Sky News/YouGov poll found half of Tory members think Kemi Badenoch should not lead the party into the next election.

The right and far right of British politics are increasingly backing Reform. The centre and left of politics are fragmenting even more. Because of our ridiculous voting system there will only be one winner.

I recall a question being asked once of whether it was possible that Kemi Badenoch as Trade Secretary did not know the details of mobility discussions with India, and well, evidence like this suggests it was very likely (some of those working around her confirmed this also)

A judge blocked Trump from sending Oregon's National Guard into Portland.

That same judge then blocked Trump from deploying California's National Guard to Portland instead.

This isn't a "left wing" judge β€” Trump appointed her.

Says a lot about Trump's authoritarian power grab.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Coverage of Jenrick today basically amounts to sane-washing. He didn't criticise judges. He claimed there was a conspiracy by certain judges, who he had discovered and could number, to undermine British law and create open borders.

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
