Good that Albo's meeting w Trump went well.

Pity it was all about Kevin - not Palestine, Israel busting ceasefire, nuclear waste dump Australia, China, AUKUS, Dan Duggan ...

No wonder they blocked a journalist @thelyonsden.bsky.social from attending

In a time of War #ComradeFarage would likely be viewed a traitor for his affiliation and pro Russian rhetoric..

So it’s great to see him called out so robustly in HOP.. but why aren’t the BBC, Sky, ITV etc challenging him and doing likewise

Why’d their bury the story re his house etc 🤷🏼‍♂️

Farage has the brass neck to lecture anyone on national security - this from a bloke whose own ally, Nathan Gill, admitted taking bribes from the terrorist state Russia, while he parrots Kremlin propaganda. #ukpolitics

Impeach Mike Johnson, SOTH, for not reopening the House. He is stopping one of the three branches of our government from functioning. It seems to me to be impeachable. Do you?
