Michelle Mone can be expelled from the House of Lords by a simple majority vote in the Commons, and then in the House of Lords.

Like if she needs to go.
RT if she has to go.

Last week the Senedd showed what grown-up politics looks like - with a respectful, 2hr debate on taxing extreme wealth and what that can mean for Wales.

It’s now time Westminster steps up to this long-overdue conversation, whatever tomorrow’s Budget brings.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the chemical industry.

This is why you always follow the money.

You could say and ask exactly the same things about Russia and Britain.

MI5 refused to investigate ‘Russian spy’s’ links to Tories, says whistleblower Party member lodges a complaint about the security services ignoring attempt of Russian infiltration into the Conservatives

For some reason, MI5 has not always been eager to investigate Russian influence in Western politics - such as an alleged Russian spy attempting to cultivate influence with senior Conservative politicians and channel illegal Russian funds into the party.

It really matters because Farage relies on both a veneer of public ‘respectability’ *and* an undercoat of racism to further his bid for power. He won’t get there without both. So, it’s very important that the ‘respectability’ element is justifiably stripped away.

Reith lecturer accuses BBC of censoring his remarks on Trump

Dutch writer Rutger Bregman says claim that Trump was ‘most openly corrupt president in US history’ was removed

Farage cited Enoch Powell as his political hero in an interview in Total Politics magazine in 2008.

In 2014 he cited Vladimir Putin as the world leader he most admired.

You want this guy as your next prime minister???

If multiple people can remember someone being horribly racist, even by the appalling low bar of the racist 1970s, that is entirely noteworthy.

As an adult Farage fanboyed Enoch Powell - the most infamous racist of the 1960s - and long cited him as his political hero.

And that's noteworthy too.

This week in "GB News loves billionaires and doesn't speak for Britain" is a presenter and guest saying delivery driver jobs aren't real jobs.

BBC failed to defend me during Tory witch-hunt, says Lewis Goodall Former Newsnight journalist says editors instead told him to ‘be careful’ when he was attacked by ex-No 10 aide on BBC board

For contrast, let’s recall how he attacked a far more subtle BBC journalist, and eventually helped drive him out.

The Caerphilly school with almost 100% attendance - and how they did it Attendance rates remain significantly lower than in 2019, but one school is bucking the trend.

Was it by having no kids with chronic illness at the school?
Must let everyone else know how they managed that.
I hate these sorts of stories.

Times headline: ‘BBC failing to tackle systemic bias, says author of leaked memo’. In fact, when asked by MPs, this man, Michael Prescott, said he didn’t believe the BBC was institutionally biased. The Times failed to quote that, in an article about the issue of truthful reporting.

Reform Party Ltd & Farage in particular have had an extremely easy ride, until now.

No difficult questions, no digging into their racism, fascism, offshore, in particular, funding, ideology, links with Russia & Heritage Foundation, Trump.

No blaming for the Brexit fiasco

P.S.: The plans to invade Venezuela? ALSO just straight up warlordism and piracy. Nothing monarchical about it. Only 'gimme now and let the world burn.' No succession plan, no enduring system of governance envisioned, only looting.

Peter Sellars as "Dr. Strangelove," about to give the Nazi salute.

Sterling Hayden in "Dr. Strangelove," and his motto about protecting his Precious Bodily Fluids.

It's just warlord nihilism, tout court. Its unofficial motto is: "Everybody should die except me & the handful of people I deem worthy."

It's "Dr. Strangelove" come to life, with Elon supplying the Nazi salute, RFK Jr. supplying the "Purity of Essence" & Stephen Miller planning for the bunkers.
