The podcast is honestly the best I’ve ever listened to. It is like a ten part spy thriller; only not fiction, but real life, with British voters the victims, and too many British politicians choosing to turn a blind eye. Each episode is better than the last, devastating in conclusions. MUST HEAR.
I only recently listened to this extraordinary 10 part podcast - Sergei and the Westminster Spy Ring by @peterjukes.bsky.social and @carolecadwalla.bsky.social . It’s gripping, chilling, and deeply disturbing. The facts of Russian intrusion into UK politics laid bare, in horrifying fashion.
Rory Stewart and Alistair Campbell @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social spell out what needs to happen - the same demand we’ve made for years.

And nor should it. Farage is a dangerous racist and yet is being fast tracked into No.10 on a ruinous populist agenda, funded by shady right wing money and malign foreign interests.
People must know who and what they are voting for. That’s the very lowest bar in a democracy.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

At his press conference, Nigel Farage is ranting about the Black and White Minstrel Show, Alf Garnett and It Ain't Half Hot Mum in - as far as I can tell – an attempt to justify his "banter" when a schoolboy. He is very much not going down the Richard Tice, "lies" route.
