"My most vivid memories of my school life is Farage repeatedly coming up to me, knowing that I was Jewish, saying 'Hitler was right' and 'gas em' and that was frequently followed by imitating the sound of escaping gas."

I implore someone, anyone, in the media…

Do your job

And the next time you have Farage on, please ask him directly:

…what were the motivations behind this?

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

The only reason Gill stopped being the Reform UK leader in Wales was because he failed to win a seat in the 2021 Senedd election.

Zia Yusuf keeps trying to make this sound like this is ancient history, and Reform washed their hands of him, but nothing is further from the truth.

It's January 31st, 2020, and Nathan Gill is celebrating our imminent departure from the EU.... and that terrible idea of a European Army.

Hmm, now I wonder who else would have been delighted about that.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

While the US's political leadership is mired in climate denial and promoting fossil fuels, China sees the clean energy transition as a key part of its path towards global economic leadership. The contrast couldn't be clearer
China's vice minister for environment Li Gao strongly puts forward the economic growth argument for China's green and low-carbon transformation, also citing our @creacleanair.bsky.social research on the contribution of clean energy sectors to China's GDP.

US Border Patrol has been secretly using a nationwide network of license-plate readers and predictive algorithms to track millions of American drivers, even far from the border, ABC reports.

Anyone the system throws up for “suspicious travel patterns” are questioned, searched or arrested by police.

ASYLUM SEEKERS?

If they only ever have 30 month visas how are they supposed to:

👉🏼Get anything other than temporary jobs?
👉🏼Rent or buy property?
👉🏼Undertake education courses?
👉🏼Integrate into their communities?
👉🏼Learn English?

Think about it? Because they will still come.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally.

He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough.

Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

He was revered.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.
