Wtf is wrong with people? We're all immigrants, descendants of immigrants.
Most decent British people used to be proud to live in such a wonderfully multi cultural place.
UK needs immigrants. MSM, Farage do know this, but again, his toxicity is dividing Britain.
Let's deport him, keep immigrants.

Will a Farage government will be a death knell to any hopes of that?
EU has been supportive of UK demands, including when 🇬🇧 was still a member.
And beyond patient with deluded Brexit British cakeism and exceptionalism.
Let's hope that they'll overlook Farage's disgraceful anti EU troublemaking.

Farage is the Brexit arsonist, not the fire service.
He's every bit as dangerous to the growth and security of 🇬🇧 as Trump is to 🇺🇸
Buyer's remorse isn't helpful. Never trust Farage.

All those years of attacking ‘the Brexit deal’ rather than Brexit itself have helped only Farage. It was always Brexit.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

They're solving the migration problem because fairly soon, no one will to come to visit, never mind live here.

Xenophobia. Brexit and racists.
🇬🇧 is now becoming a very inhospitable place.

So many people showed up, we ran out of table space.

Musk is funding the legal battle of UK Far Right activist Tommy Robinson - real name Stephen Yaxley Lennon - as he faces charges brought by counterterrorism police.

Tommy Robinson has claimed Elon Musk was paying his legal costs as he went on trial for refusing to comply with a request made by counterterrorism police as he tried to leave Britain last year. Robins...

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

How much 💰 is enough for these entitled, obscenely wealthy people?
Poorer, *ordinary* people spend their money, usually in their communities.
The richest people, who often own many overseas properties and are also non dom tax dodgers, do not spend money, they stash it away.
Tax the whiny moaners

To all you patriots (and UK authorities)

Is this not political interference of the most egregious and socially divisive kind?

You are/were right about everything.

💯 And Farage IS Reform.
A Conservative first.
Next UKIP leader but left and as MEP, formed Brexit Party, alongside Nathan Gill, his pal of many years who now faces jail for pro Russian bribery.
The Brexit arsonist is loyal to himself, Putin's 🇷🇺 Trump's 🇺🇸
And traitor to 🇬🇧 Flush Farage out

I can see why Reform would oppose measures to prevent money laundering. Maybe banks should check money going *into* bank accounts - particularly when it's Russian money going into Reform politicians' bank accounts...

I find this very touching…& also worrying. Historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social has been an absolutely essential guide to this era. And if he thinks I’m right then we’re in more trouble than we realise

Carole Cadwalladr was right and we’d be in a better world if more people had listened.

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

Maybe it is time to restrict all media focus on Farage?
Unless, until the truth about his ties to 🇷🇺 🇺🇸 and his treacherous betrayal of 🇬🇧 can be publicly addressed and openly discussed.
