UK media. Ask Labour about the Chinese, don't ask Farage about Russian bribes, or mysterious bankrolling of Leave. If you do minimise it, laugh it off. Repeat the process for Russian money swilling through the Tory party.
The majority of the British media stinks.
It's as bent as a corkscrew.

Yet another Monday. Still no explanation from FarRage about who paid for his Frinton house. It’s looking more like roubles than crypto though.

As for Nathan Gill, maybe we will know more after sentencing. Unless he flits off to Moscow?

Dodgy. Still media silence.

Why doesn't the UK media talk about Farage and Russian money?

I’ve been saying this for ten years now but possibly not often enough: Ask Them What They Think The Words They’re Using Mean. And then ask them to name the ‘problematic’ people. We had ‘sovereignty’, ‘laws’ & ‘unelected bureaucrats’. The US now has ‘Antifa’, the ‘radical left’ & ‘insurrection’. Ask!

Greta Thunberg should win the Nobel Peace Prize tomorrow.

Imagine how much Donald Trump would rage.

Hilarious to watch and hear all those saying Donald Fart sorry Trump should get the Nobel peace prize, it’s for 2024 !
Don’t think the Donald knows it’s for last year 😆

How well did he deal with a panel and Fiona Bruce against him. More interestingly how much were the audience with him.
Right wing and MSM worrying.
Watch the attacks increase in the foreseeable future

I consider myself a floating voter so will not join any party but yours is at the moment the only one worth joining.
it’s early yet, but Zack is by far head n shoulders above sll the other party leaders. Your party has chosen your leader wisely.
So although not joining, I’m rooting for Zack

Funny how Russian bribery gets mentioned by @zackpolanski.bsky.social on #BBCQT & Zia Yusuf gets very upset!

Good, about time someone stood up to Reform.

Fair play Zack as the panel seemed rattled by you.

undecided at the moment, so not a green member but what a great performance under pressure from Fiona Bruce who let Reform and Tory interrupt and gave Reform more airtime !
More power to your elbow

“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” 👏

Nigel Farage is accusing Starmer of inciting violence against him, by calling Reform racist.

Meanwhile Farage literally hugged Lucy Connolly because she incited violence and pleaded guilty to racism.

Absolute MELON!
