Thank you to @mrjamesob.bsky.social for having me on, one of the v few people in the UK press to follow this story during what is now a decade of media apathy &/or complicity

‘The threat couldn’t be more urgent and imminent. Yet here we are, still putting our head in the sand.’

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social says it’s ‘peculiar’ that the case of Farage ally Nathan Gill admitting to making pro-Russia speeches for cash isn’t being followed more closely.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

This must be Robert 'Desmondgate' Jenrick, compassionate patriot, and scourge of refugee children . A fine representative of true British values.

Answer: yes. Farage and his far-right fringe groups have been pushed into mainstream politics by the BBC - 38 appearances by Farage on Question Time alone. They've become a go-to source of information - e. g. BBC's Chris Mason's promoting Farage's (Tate's) views on the Farage Riots via 30p Lee.

🤔 Rutte: As long as Russian aircraft don’t pose a threat, we will gently guide them out of our airspace.

It’s a proportional response — we are so much stronger than the Russians. If we were weak, maybe we’d shoot them down immediately, but being stronger, our reaction is proportionate.

Everythig you say is accurate. And dont forget the odious 'economist' Patrick Minford, he of Truss fame, who was the only economist who could be wheeled out in favour of Brexit in the BBCs attempt at balance yet, all it achieved was false equivalence, as all the others said it would be shit.

Nathan Gill will be sentenced on 21st November for 8 charges of taking Russian Bribes.

It’s essential that the European Parliament carries out an investigation in to UKIP, Brexit Party and Reform UK and their connection to Russia.

Investigation now!

Those who describe themselves as 'alpha males' are merely signalling their inadequacy and impotence.
