Essentially, Farridge is either lying about Russian bribes.
Or he’s telling the truth and he spouts pro Russian propaganda for free.
Perhaps for the LOLs? Or maybe because he genuinely thinks Putin is great.

It’s troubling whichever way you turn it.

It’s 3.5 years to the next election, plenty of time for Labours policies to improve lives and certainly enough time for reform to implode.

The war on Gaza started before Labour gained power.
The Labour gov announced an embargo on arms to Israel in Sept 2024, soon after being elected.
The restrictive treatment of Palestinians started yrs ago.
No mass protests in 14 yrs under Tories who continued funding Israel.

Poll ratings for Starmer (and Labour) at this point in government mean fuck all. The only poll that really matters is the next GE and, irrespective of the result, folk will need to reflect on his premiership over time before any credible judgement can be made on his performance.

This is what happens when you become a billionaire, once you've bought everything that can be bought and own everything you always wanted to own the only thing left to do is talk shit, get your face in the media, and score as many ego points as possible.

If a Labour leader had been accepting bribes from Russia, it would been on the front pages of every paper for weeks (and quite rightly so).

And yet apparently the BBC won't let us talk about Nathan Gill and Reform. It should be headline news everywhere.
