Richard Tice - "Please welcome to the stage... Nathan Gill"

So much for Tice's claim to have never met Nathan Gill.

The Reform UK slogan of 'Family, Community, Country' is very similar to the French Vichy regime's slogan 'Work, Family, Country'

The Vichy regime collaborated in many of the worst crimes of Nazi Germany, including deporting Jews to the death camps.

Farage is no fool. He will know this similarity.

Farage has given up the pretence that he barely knew Nathan Gill. He can't do otherwise, given the flood of evidence to the contrary.

Here is Gill saying he's just come from having lunch with Farage on the day that Farage resigned as UKIP leader 4 July 2016?

Farage, Arron Banks, and convicted Russian asset Nathan Gill have all parroted the Russian lie that NATO and EU expansion provoked Putin into invading Ukraine.

That's a lie for a Western audience. Putin is much more honest about Russia's imperialist motives when he's speaking to a Russian audience.

Maria Popova @popovaprof.bsky.social · 11d

Pu spells out Ru's imperialist motivations for the war. He calls the conquest a long-held dream and historical destiny.

He beclowns those who insist NATO expansion caused the war. Let's see if anyone from the Mearsheimer fan club admits the claim has been falsified.

Farage isn't better about racism than Jenrick. He's cleverer. He knows that getting tarred as a racist can severely damage a political career. Before he became a public figure, he was openly racist. Check the obscene racist language he was using in 1999 as reported in the Guardian.

Claire Jones on authoritarianism. Article in link:

"Project 2025 is aligned with global authoritarianism & won’t stand or fall with Trump. It's also naive to think Reform's survival depends on Farage, given its place in the global authoritarian ecosystem".

In these photos of Farage, Nathan Gill and Cottrell, it's interesting that Gill has got a friendly hand on Cottrell's shoulder.

Cottrell is a convicted fraudster who is an expert in criminal money-laundering. Why was the Russian asset so friendly with the money-launderer?

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

One of the things I find most frustrating in politics is why the American opposition stubbornly refuses to notice RFK Jr.'s friendship with convicted pedophile and Russian asset Scott Ritter. Kennedy has also linked up with Russell Brand, who has also shilled for Russia.

As almost always, it isn't mentioned that RFK Jr. is a pro-Russian who is friends with convicted pedophile and paid Russian asset Scott Ritter.

Why is the American opposition so blind about this?

Who does Farage work for - the people of Clacton or his paymasters? I'm sure most people know the answer to that.

Lucrative second jobs for MPs and big money political donations must be made serious criminal offences. They subvert democracy and are gateways to corruption.

Farage kept on yelling, "Don't poke the Russian bear."

That is Russian propaganda designed to conceal Russia's genocidal imperialism from Westerners.

Putin doesn't hide his monstrous ambitions from the Russian public. Here are some screenshots from Russian TV via @juliadavisnews.bsky.social

Farage parroted Russian lies about EU and NATO expansion and poking the Russian bear – lies designed to conceal Russia's genocidal imperialism from Westerners.

Farage is a monster, lying to conceal Russia's genocidal intentions.

Take a look at Farage's grovelling "Happy Birthday Mr. President" tweet. He's even holding a bottle of Trump wine.

Farage is no proud patriot. He's a creepy fascist sycophant who parrots Russian lies and thinks Andrew Tate is an important voice for men.

There is one huge problem with taxing the super-rich, they can move to tax havens.

I fear that all attempts to tax the super-rich will fail unless there is a powerful international move to shut down tax havens.

That is the idea of #PATH People Against Tax Havens.

The Tories are heading towards extinction because once you've fed voters with enough far-right poison, they vote for the real fascists, not your pale copy. They vote for the leaders, not the Tory followers scrabbling along after them.

You defeat fascism by fighting it, relentlessly, tooth and nail.

I need a tax expert to say whether Arron Banks would have gained a tax advantage from lending rather than donating to Leave EU.

Nick Reeves #FBPE #NAFO @nickreeves.bsky.social · 2d

This question about Arron Banks' loan to Leave EU needs the knowledge of a tax expert. I think something smells very fishy, but that could be because I don't understand the tax implications of writing off a loan.

Nick Reeves #FBPE #NAFO @nickreeves.bsky.social · 2d

Arron Banks didn't donate £7m to Leave EU, he lent the money. When Leave EU went into liquidation, he wrote off the loan. Could he have used the loss of the loan to reduce his tax bill?

Arron Banks was a co-founder of Leave EU. He would have surely known that Leave EU could never repay the loan.
