Driving around in your musk machine is growing the wealth of the South African wannabe global emperor and normalisation of fascism.
There are other EVs, lots of them very good.

Spotted an English van today. I welled up with pride when I saw it.

Completely forgot I booked tickets for Jack Dee in Liverpool back in March. Just got a reminder for the gig, next week, yeerrsss. 😁

Farage, a snidey grifter who worked for russian state TV, who has met with the russian embassador to the UK, didn't know at all, that a close friend of his, Gill also worked for russia. Gill's 'work' included taking bribes to be pro-russian whilst being an MEP.
UKIP, Reform stink of corruption.

Everything he's reported to have said in this BBC piece sounds like he's desperately trying to distance himself, knowing that the connection is real and toxic. If the press were investigating Farage with the same enthusiasm they went for Rayner, he'd be done for.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Always bring the receipts.

Happy birthday to my friend and colleague Nigel Farage aka Mr Brexit.

I like a lot of your stuff but I am moving next week and I can assure you it's not free under £500k. It's 5% form £250,001 to £925,000.
The same cost for everyone in England, whether it's London or Liverpool.

Reform pushes for 85% migrant population certainly is a new direction for the party.

Sunder Katwala (sundersays) @sundersays.bsky.social · 9d

The UAE is an authoritarian autocracy, a petro-state with no income tax for citizens, to bribe them for the lack of democratic voice or free speech

It is 85% migrant, a segregated society with a ban on integration in principle and practice, few rights, equal opportunities, nor voice for incomers

Ppl really need to understand these numbers. They're not wanting to protect you, they're attempting to strip you, your family and friends of our rights, all of our rights. A right to fair trail, an NHS you fund with your taxes, the right to sick, maternity & holiday pay, the pension you paid into.

Tories and Reform want to quit the European Convention on Human Rights.

Since 1980, the ECHR court has heard 29 cases of immigrant deportation. UK won 16. No defeats in the last 5 yrs.

Quitting ECHR won't fix illegal immigration, will destroy our freedoms and rights.

Leaving the ECHR won’t fix illegal migration

Half-baked tales of rulings turning on chicken nuggets are no basis for cutting Britain adrift

1 week ago Nathan Gill pled guilty to 8 charges of Russian bribery.

Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Dr David Bull and Paul Nuttall, all senior Reform UK leadership, all colleagues of Gill’s through UKIP, Brexit Party and Reform UK.

All have done what guilty people do.

Silence.

Excellent result yesterday. Sitting with my kids, dad and brother. Not at the races first half against a very good Crystal Palace side but a proper Everton fight back 2nd half. Went home bouncing.

I do recognise this a little. But without trawling through someone's entire post history, you won't know whether they're a constant moaning Da or someone who occasionally posts something they're not happy with. I haven't the time or inclination to check.
Ignore it, say what you think to be true.
