Starmer is only unpopular because our right wing media and Russian influence has persuaded the masses so. Anyone with half a brain knows he is the best PM for many years and has already delivered on many of Labours manifesto pledges.
Seems bizarre to me that the press arenโ€™t going bigger on the fact that Russia targeted Keir Starmerโ€™s house and car. We are currently about to start a Leadership contest as Starmer is seen as unpopular, but no-one is discussing the clear Russian interference on social media.

Well spotted, another criminal offence from Farage
Replying to @Nigel_Farage
@Nigel_Farage 's Thorn in the Side Ltd receives payments for his numerous 2nd jobs, missing a deadline to file a confirmation statement to Companies House. Also failed to verify his identity by law by May 25 to file these documents. Why ever not, eh, Nige? @reformexposed

Trust in mainstream news organisations has dropped from 50% to 30% since 2016. No shock there! However, says BBC's Katie Razzall, "Trust in the BBC remains resilient." It doesn't Katie. The BBC's right wing bias is so blatant now! She means it hasn't dipped from 30%!

Would be essential for our national security if someone would bother to do a similar investigation on Israeli and US (Project2025_UK, Mu$k & Co) network of operations against UK/EU! There was a complete synchronicity in their online activity & points of attack. Coincidence?
A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved. B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft byโ€ฆdrumrollโ€ฆSergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf

I wonder why Elon Musk would suppress all mentions on X of our award-winning No. 1 hit Podcast series 'Sergei and the Westminster Spy Ring'. We get to talk to the spy, Sergei Nalobin, behind the arson attacks on Starmer

This is what REAL journalism looks like, Beth. Your gotcha headlines are Temu. When real investigative work is done, it shows the class of journalists that are out there. Whatโ€™s really going on is much bigger & is a threat to everyone, including you! x.com/charlotteukcity/statusโ€ฆ

If you didnโ€™t watch tonightโ€™s Panorama, make sure you do (the link is below). It exposes the role of Russia in turning everyone in the UK against each other & setting alight Keir Starmerโ€™s home and car. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0โ€ฆ

UNESCO, seriously? Why can't you name the perpetrator?
In the context of the escalation of the war in Ukraine following the invasion by the Russian Federation, @UNESCO condemns the reported strike on 15 June that hit the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, within the World Heritage property โ€œKyiv: Saint-Sophia Cathedral and Related Monastic Buildings, Kyiv-Pechersk Lavraโ€, one of Ukraineโ€™s most significant spiritual and cultural landmarks. The strike reportedly caused significant damage to the exterior and interior of the Dormition Cathedral. Adjacent historic structures, including elements of the Lavraโ€™s fortification complex and Ivan Kushnik Tower, were also reportedly impacted. #UNESCO condemns attacks against cultural property, educational institutions, students, education personnel and media professionals protected under international law. Damage to such institutions deprives communities of access to culture, education, and shared spaces that are essential for recovery and social cohesion. UNESCO stands ready to support relevant authorities in assessing damage to cultural and educational institutions and identifying urgent measures within its mandate. unesco.org/en/articles/unescโ€ฆ
Community note
Identifying the perpetrator of damaging a historical site during wartime is essential for enforcing int'l law, enabling post-conflict prosecution, deterring future cultural destruction, and preserving historical truth. share.google/fkRJ8lQHX1LsLeโ€ฆ share.google/iLg8GFuLh9KVyFโ€ฆ share.google/tbDyrtfvfLhRxXโ€ฆ share.google/9DrnkOev1dqeAdโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช How an AfD Politician Uncovered the Kremlin's Lies and Flipped for Ukraine A former member of Germany's pro-Russian AfD party shares just how powerful Russian propaganda is within their ranks, admitting that he himself used to be deeply pro-Russian because he blindly believed Russia's lies. However, when he traveled to Ukraine for the very first time, he saw with his own eyes that everything Russia says is a complete lie, and that Ukrainians are entirely different from Russians. Following this revelation, he became staunchly pro-Ukrainian right inside his pro-Russian party and began openly calling out Russia's falsehoods.

Ten years ago today Farage unveiled his racist "Breaking Point" poster. Within hours a far-right sympathiser murdered the MP Jo Cox. Instead of apologising, Farage went on to verbally attack her husband. Farage has always been scum. Never Vote Reform.

What the BBC doesnโ€™t say in its story is that Nalobinโ€™s purported involvement adds a whole other layer of complacency/incompetence/cover-up by UK govt. Read this piece to understand the backdrop to this whole story & ask yourself why UK govt *still* refuses to investigate Kremlin interference in UK politics theguardian.com/tv-and-radioโ€ฆ

Another sign of Putin's loss of influence: Lukashenko apologized to Zelenskyy for comments threatening Ukraine. Luka admitted Belarus is highly vulnerable and Belarusians don't want war, and said he poses no military threat to Ukraine. Luka sees which way the wind is blowing.

Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trumpโ€™s UFC 250 event: โ€œTo stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.โ€

Two things not to forget about Boris Johnson as he kicks his pro Ukrainian shtick. He said Putin was right to annexe Crimea because the EU provoked it. And according to close pal Temerko, he only backed Brexit when Eastern European businessmen persuaded him. With what?
