#FourHomeFarage
Farage owns four homes:
Family home (£1M, retained after his divorce)
Two beachside homes in Kent (via his comp. Thorn In The Side Ltd)
One investment property in Surrey (rented out)
Radio silence from media about this but uproar about Angela Rayner’s two homes & ministerial home

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social I see you’re doing an event for The Observer… what are your thoughts on their soft-soaping of Reform on the front page? Very worrying treatment of fascists as the WI by new owners! If such a piece was in The Telegraph, Mail or Express it’d be risible. But in The Observer!?

The philosophy of the Trump admin is “The strong will survive, and the weak (mostly older people) will perish. Oh well.”
For each senior that dies, that’s one more social security check they don’t have to send out.

A deadly E. coli outbreak hit 15 states, but the FDA chose not to publicize it
The outbreak linked to romaine lettuce killed one person and sickened at least 88 more, including a 9-year-old boy who nearly died of kidney failure.

My favourite revelation in this column is that the deranged and delusional Truss has criticised #MarkCarney for being the “unelected” prime minister of Canada! 🤦♂️

The core argument here is unanswerable. For liberal democratic countries, buying American weapons is a security risk. It must be avoided at all costs.

Listing five Jews, two of whom are long dead, as “ActBlue funders” secretly behind the Tesla protests is antisemitism.

Russia, not Ukraine, is the obstacle to peace.
This is evident in the data. Russia has intensified its drone/missile strike campaign against Ukraine after President Trump was inaugurated.
Ukraine has offered many concessions to start peace processes.
Russia has offered zero.

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple.
They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.
