1/11 So the first 3 volumes of Smith's evidence against Trump are released. About 70% still sealed, but, pretty damning stuff, which is all either their own messages, or testimony from Republican staff under oath:

This is genuinely exciting. I think this has the potential to fill a very large gap in the research funding landscape in the U.K.
Excited to announce our new partnership with @ARIA_research! As an Activation Partner, we will be launching Focused Research Organizations (FROs) in the UK (“FROST UK”) in ARIA’s opportunity spaces. Stay tuned for our open call for proposals in Spring 2025 convergentresearch.org/blog/…

This cannot be repeated too often. Such a vile, hateful racist. #FarageRiots
Nobody has done more to undermine British values than Nigel Farage.

Never let them tell you that they're all the same. Never let them suggest politics makes no difference. Never listen to the siren voices who prioritise their political purity over winning. People who would have been sent to Rwanda now won't be, because Labour is in government.
Sir Keir Starmer has killed off the Rwanda deportation plan on the first day of his premiership Labour insiders confirmed to The Telegraph that the scheme to deport migrants who arrived in the UK illegally to Rwanda was effectively “dead” Read more 👇 telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

You HAVE to vote tactically for Labour if you want the Tories gone in tomorrows #GeneralElection24
On the eve of the election, the tactical voting sites are unanimous: Labour is the best party to beat the Tories in New Forest East. We are also the best party to get Britain's future back. You have an historic opportunity to elect New Forest East's first Labour MP. But it's going to be very close. For change to happen, you have to vote for it. Remember your voter ID! #TacticalVoting #VoterID #Election2024 #VoteLabour

Everything about this is fucking disgusting.
Rishi Sunak has accepted a £1,000 bet from Piers Morgan that deportation flights to Rwanda will be up and running before the General Election. The full interview is due to be shown on the Piers Morgan Uncensored YouTube channel at 2pm and TalkTV at 8pm on Monday (5 February).

2022: Rishi Sunak, "This gov will have integrity professionalism and accountability." 2023: The Conservative party’s deputy chairman Lee Anderson said asylum seekers complaining about being moved into the Bibby Stockholm barge should “f*** off back to France”.

Another bit of Brexit bullshit comprehensively refuted. For years we were confidently told this wouldn't be a problem. And now, after spending god-knows-how-much money and wasting god-knows-how-much time, they have bowed to the inevitable. ft.com/content/69783fa0-4f84…
