Thorough piece on Farage’s close colleague and friend Nathan Gill and the Kremlin cash he took
www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...
Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10 I have received A LOT of questions about Nathan Gill, having sat as a Brexit Party MEP alongside him in Brussels and Strasbourg. He was also the Reform leader in Wales. For those who don’t know, he has pleaded guilty to taking pro-Russian bribes over a number of months. Obviously, I had absolutely no idea. I was new to the European Parliament, Nathan had been there for years alongside Farage - they were very close. He was the head of the delegation of our MEPs, so with the whip ran the day-to-day affairs of our grouping and organised activity in Brussels/Strasbourg. He was one of just two MEPs from the previous term Farage allowed to stand again. He seemed particularly interested in Russian/Ukrainian developments which I found peculiar. There was one event, right at the beginning of our term, which he asked me and other MEPs to attend. Due to his position in the grouping, I agreed. It had a very pro-Russian slant, with individuals who claimed to be close to Putin there. For obvious reasons, I did not attend another such event. I thought his obsession with that part of the world was strange, but given his years in the Parliament and position in the party, I didn’t think there was more to it. Other MEPs also found it unusual, but we just got on with job. So to journalists asking, there is my response. It is disgraceful behaviour, treasonous behaviour. I am ashamed to have ever sat alongside him. 7:44 AM · Oct 13, 2025 · 116.3K Views

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.
Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.
As a former gamer, I cannot overstate how big of a deal this right-wing takeover of Electronic Arts is.
Are they going to create video games where they kidnap and dismember journalists like Jamal Khashoggi?
For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.
This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA
And that FaceApp'd smile.

What a revolting, cynical statement for a man who was an MP of the party that ruled for 14 years until five minutes ago - and David Cameron's speech writer before that.
What contempt for voters. ~AA
How very Farage
“How Dare you…”
“I take exception to the very premise of that question”
Bare faced.
Quite apart from Tice going out to defend Farage's shady house purhcase and making things ten times worse, for the guy who says he will be the next UK Chancellor of the Exchequer to end on: "I'm not a tax expert - you're asking the wrong guy," is objectively hilarious. ~AA

Utter crackpots. And anyone who thinks this kind of idiotic look-at-me amateurs are how this country will "rediscover its pride" needs to have a lie-down.
The number of people who told me last year that ‘it can’t get any worse for Gaza.’
But it always could get worse, things can always get worse- and they have.
We are now witnessing an official, full-blown, US-approved famine in Gaza.
Shameful.

Hmm, what do ‘central camps’ and ‘final plan’ remind you of?

What a hollowed-out fucked-up corporate “local news industry” we’ve got, reliant on disillusioned poverty pay graduates rewriting dodgy press releases that are gamed for SEO by a casino, all enabled by Google pushing this shit through its Discover tab.

Wow! I remember when we only knew Pluto as a cold, dead plain icy world. In books groing up, it was just white.
This is incredible to see!

Fascinating: Did you know that the Sun's energy output per cubic meter is only about the same as that of a compost heap? ☀️🍂
About 277 watts per m3
(277 watts per m3 doesn't seem very impressive. But the sheer volume of the Sun generates an immense output.)
Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

Tweet by Marco Rubio from 2018 saying "Every time you hear overblown rhetoric about how we are on the verge of 'tyranny' or 'authoritarianism' in America remember what real tyranny and authoritarianism looks like. In China the police arrested a Xi critic while he was in the middle of a live interview." Then a link is added to the tweet with the matching story.
How about now, little Marco?
