Nigel Farage is currently the man writing Labour’s policy for them. He may be unsuccessful electorally, but he has controlled the political narrative and shaped policy in the UK for the last 10-15 years, with zero accountability, and it’s dangerous to pretend losing elections means he’s powerless.
There were 4 council by-elections yesterday. Reform UK won 0. That makes 240 council by-elections since the General Election, with just 14 seats won by Reform UK. So yeah, the country’s pretty much ignoring him - no matter how hard you lot in the media try to hype him up, journo cvnts. #ukpolitics

Te pilns Trampa aizsardzības ministra teksts Ukrainas kontaktgrupā. Komplektā ar Trampa “ilgo un ļoti produktīvo” sarunu ar Putinu tā ir gan morāla nodevība, gan ğeopolitiska kļūda. Vai Eiropai ir ietekmes sviras, kas to vēl var labot?
