Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

This, from the Guardian, is Ryanair at its very worst.

It's not good enough for them to insist that they're a low-cost airline and everyone knows the rules, in circumstances like this...

I wonder if legislation is needed?

Boris Johnson took four days off as NHS warned Covid could ‘overwhelm’ system Files show then PM was walking dog, riding motorbike and hosting guests as pandemic planning stalled in ‘lost month’

Can you imagine Keir Starmer taking 10 days off to ride a motor bike & walk a dog at the beginning of a Pandemic doing no work. Because I bloody can’t. Not for one second.

Boris Johnson is a disgrace. And Putin loving Farage would be worse. Much worse.

Small modular reactors for Wales, and moss survives in space Plus, will cloud seeding alleviate Iran's water shortage...

I spoke to Chris Smith on The Naked Scientist podcast about whether cloud seeding could bring an end to the devastating drought affecting Iran, with their biggest cities on the brink of running dry.

“Did Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?”

“Did you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?”

You can have those for nothing, lads.

Nigel Farage continues to stay in Vladmir Putin's pocket.

It really is a remarkable coincidence that when Reform's Nathan Gill was being paid to shill for Putin, Reform's Nigel Farage was also shilling for Putin. Occam's razor surely comes into play. #DisparageTheFarage

Today the former head of Reform in Wales, Nathan Gill, will be sentenced for taking bribes from Russia. Needless to say, I hardly knew him, let alone the wife of the Russian he paid bribes to.

You'd think the President calling for the execution of political opponents would warrant some type of news alert.

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution.

In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

The Covid inquiry’s findings are shocking but unsurprising now, so the main thing it left me thinking is that without a vaccine we wd’ve been utterly screwed. & if you worked round the clock to make a thing that saved millions of lives globally, to see that legacy trashed by anti-vaxxers…
