A MESSAGE TO ALL SANE REPUBLICANS: He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals. You said nothing. He bulldozed the East Wing. You said nothing. He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing. He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing. He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing. He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing. He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing. He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing. His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing. He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing. His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing. He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing. He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing. It’s time to start talking. By Christina Lorey

This morning I asked myself, not for the first time, who is Nigel and I made some notes. And it does add up. Here is a man who sells himself as the ordinary bloke with a pint, the man of the people, the great outsider standing up against the establishment. And yet somehow this ordinary bloke always seems to arrive with a camera crew, a donor network, a friendly broadcaster, and now a parliamentary investigation into a £5 million gift from a crypto billionaire. Very normal. Very grassroots. Very “just one of the lads”. The peoples revolt, apparently, now comes with lighting, branding, fundraising dinners, professional outrage, and a small question about whether millions should have been declared properly. Everything is a betrayal when Labour does it. Everything is “nothing to see here” when Nigel does it. Housing? Blame Labour. The NHS? Blame Labour. The economy? Blame Labour. Boats? Blame Labour. A £5 million gift? Suddenly everybody must calm down and respect the process. And then came Tuesday. A young man died. A family was grieving. A country was trying to understand something horrific. And Farage stepped forward. Not with calm. Not with care. Not with responsibilty. But with his announcement of “pure cold rage”. That phrase matters. Because anger is human. Anger can be moral. Anger can demand answers, justice, accountability and truth. I understand anger. A lot of people are angry. They have every right to ask serious questions. But rage is different. Rage does not ask careful questions. Rage does not wait for investigations. Rage does not protect grieving families from becoming political props. Rage looks for a target. And that is where Farage always seems most comfertable. Not solving the pain. Not calming the country. Not asking how institutions failed and how they can be fixed. But standing beside the pain with a microphone, turning the temprature up, and calling it leadership. Warm enough to repost. Warm enough to donate. Warm enough to vote. But never calm enough to ask: “Hang on, who benefits from keeping us this angry?” That is the trick. He does not need Britain to feel hopeful. He does not even need Britain to feel informed. He needs Britain permanently one headline away from rage. Because rage is usefull. It fills rallies. It drives clicks. It turns grief into theatre. It makes slogans feel like solutions. And while everyone is shouting, nobody asks the boring questions. Where is the plan? Where is the funding? Where are the costings? Where is the responsibilty? Maybe that is who Nigel Farage is. Not the man of the people. But the man who knows exactly how to turn peoples pain into his own political stage. The Reform & Tory Sitcom continues. Same chaos. Different rosette. Anger can demand answers. Rage just sells tickets. If this speaks to you, please add your comments, repost it, and maybe follow me — not for me, but because politics needs fewer slogans and more people asking proper questions. #Farage #ReformUK

Starmer has set up a red line against rejoining the Single Market. We shouldn't forget that leading Brexiters including Farage, Arron Banks, Boris Johnson and the Leave EU campaign all made clear they supported staying in the Single Market, like Norway and Switzerland.

If foreign billionaires paid British politicians millions of pounds in personal “gifts” to “get Brexit done”, then it’s abundantly clear that Brexit was NOT done for the benefit of the British people. We need an urgent inquiry into foreign interference and @Nigel_Farage’s role.

I will never forgive @AndyBurnhamGM and @wesstreeting . The right wing media was just beginning to put some pressure on #nigelfarage about his £5 million and now these fools brought the narrative back to @UKLabour . Isn't that the most moronic move of self harm?

What ARE we going to do about the media in the UK? They are no longer journalists or newscasters, but seem to want to create the news themselves. This is unacceptable, and has been for decades with Murdoch etc, but now our national broadcaster, the BBC, has jumped into the cess pit too. Something to look at @Keir_Starmer perhaps? A new Director General at @BBC might be a good starting place, then banning non-domiciles from owning our national press. Just a thought to sort the bastards out.

🩻Did Nigel Farage break the House of Commons Code of Conduct by accepting an undeclared donation from Christopher Harborne? Yes, he very much did. I read the code of conduct and pulled out the relevant sections [see the graphic below]. One of the excuses being trotted out is that it was for security and so it doesn't need to be declared. That's wrong, though. It's a misinterpretation of the rule below, stating that security proved by public funds does not have to be declared. The other fundamental flaw is the argument that it was a personal gift, not a donation. The Electoral Commission is very clear on what counts as a donation. “A donation is money, goods, property or services which are given: without charge or on non-commercial terms” This type of egregious breach of the code is dealt with by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, but nothing has been documented on their website so far. Will he get away with another breach? To add to the 17 missed declarations earlier in the year. Probably.

The collective UK media have waited until AFTER the election to offer scrutiny to Nigel Farage and his £5 million Thailand bribe. Allowing Farage to first gain his racist votes. Now they’re pretending to be impartial. We have a media problem. A very dangerous one.

I’ve just spent an enjoyable hour blocking people who can’t be polite when they disagree with me. If you’re rude, threatening, ageist or abusive, straight down the toilet you go. Simple pleasures... Why not just disagree without being offensive? That way I’ll listen to you.

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.
