Let’s not forget when the Tories were last in office - according to international Human Rights Watch - the UK was on course to make the list of countries that abuse rather than protect human rights

We need to protect the ECHR, not leave it

Farage was promoted by Russian TV. The Kremlin knew he would be a useful tool. He seems to spend most of his time with American kleptofascists. Tommy Robinson shills for Putin. Musk pays his costs.

These traitors are serving a foreign kleptofascist attack on our country.

They are not patriots.

This is the man the BBC elevated & is refusing to investigate despite @carolecadwalla.bsky.social l & @bylinetimes.bsky.social
having done all the work for them .
Do we have a precedent for a this ? A national broadcaster ignoring possible treason , isn’t that in itself sort of treasonous 🥴 ?

Reform Party UK Exposed @reformexposed.bsky.social · 4d

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.

These 2 speeches, which, as Nick points out, on the same day, precede what Gill has pled guilty to by 4 years, are more damning for Farage as they also precede Brexit.

All European secret services would have been alarmed by this & would/should have been investigating.

Phillipson says Hamas committed appalling atrocities, inflicted significant suffering, killed countless civilians & took hostages, and for those reasons it can have no role in govt.

The Israeli regime has done all that & more. Why aren't you dictating who can govern Israel?
