Hard to see Gabbard’s statement as anything other than a deliberate flex by the Kremlin - she may be on her way out but Moscow wants the world to know that it has had an agent at the very top of US intelligence for the last 18 months
Of course the last thing that Tulsi does in office before she departs @ODNIgov is release vague, pro-Russia conspiracism bullshit with no factual revelatory value. The Senators who opposed her confirmation hearing were right about her when they raised concerns about her foreign ties. x.com/DNIGabbard/status/2065…

Grifting more cash before pleading guilty again? £100,000 last time wasn’t it? The amount you screwed out of your gullible fanbase before pleading guilty and pocketing the cash.
I'M A TERRORIST AGAIN I have been detained at Heathrow Airport today for the best part of 3 hours. I was detained under section 3 of the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019. My phone has been seized by the police. So here we go again, looks like more defence and court fees ffs!!! Absolute fucking madness. Please help kick off my legal fund for defence here - urbanscoop.news/support-us/

Hi @Nigel_Farage now you’re doing press again, maybe tell us about the house in Clacton, the £5m, your friend Nathan Gill, the nature of your relationship with Lois Perry, why you lied about not taking MP surgeries, why you’ve gone so quiet about your friendship with Donald Trump, why you seem to hate female journalists, why your vetting is so poor…

Reform UK’s #Makerfield candidate Rob Kenyon is being paid £14,822 per year now he’s a Wigan Councillor. He’s not even turned up to sign in, not attended a council meeting and hasn’t even bothered to post a single thing advocating for his ward. Voted for Rob Kenyon as councillor? He conned you.

The pretence that you are holding these awful people to account while continually platforming them & their hateful divisive politics makes the BBC slightly more vomit inducing than Reform . That’s quite an accomplishment.
After criticising Reform UK for ignoring the wishes of Henry Nowak's family and politicising the death of Henry Nowak #BBCLauraK gives Muhammad Ziauddin Yusuf a solid 8 minutes to argue against Henry Nowak's family's wishes Then a further 2.5 minutes to criticise the police and the Sikh tradition of carrying ceremonial knives, stoking even further division in society

British journalists have a duty to our country, and to all they supposedly hold dear as fearless pursuers of truth, to hold Farage accountable and challenge far right disinformation.
There’s a link between the spread of Nigel Farage’s evidence-free rabble-rousing and Michael Grade’s calamitous time at OfCom. app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/s…

This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby @denbypottery

Under FISA 702, the government collects massive amounts of data on Americans while “targeting” foreigners overseas. They then unconstitutionally search that data without a warrant for info on Americans. The “libertarian demand” he’s whining about is called the Fourth Amendment.
FISA 702 is the authority for surveillance on foreign soil—the core of all US security. A libertarian demand to make SecWar get approval from liberal DC judges (the ones who targeted Trump) is madness. No conservative aim is ever served through subservience to leftist DC judges.
Community note
Of the 11 FISC judges, only 2 are from the D.C. district and 8 were appointed to their district courts by Republican presidents. fisc.uscourts.gov/current-member… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_St…

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness... The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Your ICE agents shot an unarmed US citizen in the head. A mother. Then they shot another man for standing in the street. The US government murders its own citizens.
Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it. Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse. It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.

The US government has joined the 'two-tier policing' debate on the side of Elon Musk, Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson and Laurence Fox - providing some much needed credibility to everyone on the opposite side of the debate

Polite reminder. Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage.

Please repost if you want Elon Musk to keep his fascist pro-Russian nose out of British politics. Our democracy is for the British people. It is not the plaything of the world's richest man.

Andrea Jenkyns walked out of an all party Mayoral Council meeting with Steve Reed because she ,as a Reform Mayor , won’t acknowledge the effect of Farage’s call to riot Which led to injuries to 11 police officers in Southampton, and families being subjected to 4 hours of terror as Farage’s supporters hurled brick and wheelie bins The claim of structurally embedded anti white racism in the police service is a myth concocted by Farage . Leadership is not about inciting riots . Reform have to own the consequences of Farage’s actions #ChargeFarage

Of course Jenkyns has always struggled observing appropriate Standards in Public Life Here she is demonstrating her lack of respect for those who hold views different from her own
Ah yes, Andrea Jenkyns, that well known calm, measured voice of reason.
