One of the biggest corporate donors to the populist Reform U.K. party has sold almost $2 million worth of transmitters, cockpit equipment, antennas and other sensitive technology to a major supplier of Moscow’s blacklisted state weapons agency, documents show.
From 2023 to 2024, the company, part of the British aerospace manufacturer H.R. Smith Group, shipped the equipment to an Indian firm that is the biggest trading partner of the Russian arms agency, Rosoboronexport.
H.R. Smith Group donated 100,000 pounds (just under $130,000) to Reform U.K. last year, two days after Nigel Farage was announced as the party’s leader. The company is run by Richard Smith, a businessman who owns 55 Tufton Street, a Westminster townhouse that is home to some of Britain’s most influential right-wing lobbying and research groups.
Blimey. One of Nigel Farage's biggest donors, and the owner of 55 Tufton Street, is helping the Russian military effort www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/w...

🚨 No one should spend 12 yrs in jail for stealing a mobile phone! It’s unthinkable! #IPPscandal
🚨With reports Prisons are at 99% capacity surely now is time for the government to get behind Lord Woodley’s Bill for the resentencing of IPP prisoners - which I’m supporting
It will end one of the most cruel & monumental injustices of the past half-century once & for all

Surreal. US Congressman Mike Johnson who is Speaker of the House of Representatives says of Elon Musk firing the Veterans Affairs Suicide Hotline,
"There are going to be some mishaps and mistakes along the way"
How do you accidentally fire staff working for a suicide hotline 🤷♂️

Not just some people, but all people—on Earth—must watch this video and share it as widely as possible.
Every word of it is true, and it confirms that Elon Musk is a white supremacist leader stoking violence around the world.
His two televised Nazi salutes were exactly what you thought they were.

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity.
A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

I have a few followers here and not so many on twitter (it will always be twitter). I duck in and out of both and am encouraged by the warriors going for the likes of Isabel Oakeshott. We need to keep a beady on our enemy.
