Happily retired, left-leaning centrist with not as much time on my hands as I would like.

I see Toys-R-Us are marketing their new Shadow Home Secretary Dressing Up Kit (ages 5-8).
It comes with podium, name plate, dummy microphone, smart suit and an idiot.😊

Stop spinning it like some scandal BBC. It’s dishonest Reform UK bias. Most of these councils won’t even exist in a year because of reorganisation. So these votes are basically a pointless waste of time and money. Councils asked for delays - most of them under Tories. The Government just agreed.

Reform-led Worcestershire set to issue England’s largest council tax 10% rise!
Cap-busting tax hike is embarrassing for Farage, who has made low council tax a priority.

Reform UK’s mid-level governance is an utter disaster. Nevertheless, the media are pushing the idea of them in national government as if it would be any better. All of this happened just this week, yet journalists are obsessed with a fabricated β€˜scandal of the century.’

In 1 week Farage's company:
broke electoral law;
had Reform UK mentioned in the Epstein files;
had people exposed as fronts for foreign donors money laundering;
misled about Β£40m council savings they didn’t make -
Vote Reform and get American paedos and foreign oligarchs crashing your life.

Kudos to ⁦β€ͺ@mehdirhasan‬⁩.

Not only did he invite me on his show in 2018 to talk about my investigation into Farage’s funders (no UK channel ever did).

But he also asked a former colleague of Nathan Gill’s in the EU parliament whether UKIP had ever taken Russian bribes πŸ”₯

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

In more Reform News Lincolnshire mayor Andrea (middle finger) Jenkins is spending Β£74 million on a new office for herself in pursuit of her war on waste fraud and abuse of public funds. The Reform Party brings you waste, fraud and abuse at an unprecedented scale

Farage’s lies are easy to see through … unless you don’t want to. The BBC and the rest of the media, who want a fascist in Downing Street want us to look the other way.

When Farage is lying about his plans for scrapping the NHS in order to hand tax cuts to the mega wealthy, remember that all the warnings about Britain's Trump are available every day from the USA.

In 25 days we’ve gone from:

I feel naive just writing this, but a president threatening to withhold funding to a city unless it elects his preferred candidate for mayor seems like the sort of thing that shouldn't be legal.

A president threatening to withhold from an American city any federal funding if that city elects someone he doesn’t like. We’ve so normalized his abusing the powers of his office. Any other president before Trump would’ve been impeached for making such a threat.

Millions spent on Trump visit. Red carpets, Royals in coronets and golden dining services too. And all he offers in return are petulant racist insults about our capital city and our mayor.

What a singular lack of decorum, grace, and courtesy. Fuck him and his damp hands and his nicotine yellow wig

The ITV exposΓ© on COVID now turns its sights on testing. I was stunned in 2020 when Sir Paul Nurse - Director of the Francis Crick Institute - told me he’d written to the government to offer the services of the Crick (the biggest biomeolecular lab in the country) - and never got a reply…

What happened to shame in politics? In the age of Farage, Trump and Johnson, deception became currency and scandal marketing strategy

Brexit, writes The Bear, was built on lies so big they should have ended careers.

Instead, they launched speaking tours.

That tells you everything about shame in politics today.
