Ok UK media - oh so scandalised by Mandelson - when are you going to be scandalised by US interference in our democracy? Epstein, Farage, Bannon, Vance, Thiel, Musk, Trump, Brexit, Heritage Foundation, the funding of far right populism to collapse our govts….??
After you’ve helped their collapse?
Remember the controversy when Obama was accused of intervening in UK politics? This is the current US government openly seeking to undermine liberal democracy in Europe.

They seem to deflect away from Farage all the time. He’s up to his neck in Brexit, Bannon, Trump, Putin and the Epstein Files. But no let’s look at Starmer. The media will be responsible for the next worst decision the country has ever made after Brexit and Boris.

There’s a v cynical media and political blindspot in the Epstein shitshow. A feeding frenzy to get rid of Starmer while red-carpeting Farage into No10. Who is named in the files. As is Candy, Reform’s treasurer. With Bannon. And Brexit.
Don’t cry about abuses of power and then do nothing about him.

Most of our media is studiously ignoring the Epstein links to Brexit, Farage and far right populism. Farage is being touted for No.10. He wants an even more extreme Brexit. A race to the bottom to sell us out to this global network of oligarch crooks.
Why TF isn’t he being investigated and stopped?
Post-Brexit, Epstein told Thiel: "Brexit is just the beginning" – eyeing crypto deregulation via right-populism. 7/12

I'm old enough to remember when Pharage and co were suggesting they were against foreign bodies interfering in our politics, appears they're not.

Almost every accusation from them is a confession.
In 2018 Steve Bannon bragged to Jeffrey Epstein about his influence over European politicians including Nigel Farage and that he could “shut down any crypto legislation or anything else we want”.

What is Reform’s first and only piece of draft legislation?

A pro-crypto Bill.

Is this the same racist Nigel Pharage that appointed someone who later got imprisoned for taking Russian bribes, his parties Welsh leader?

Or the same racist Nigel Pharage who is always kissing the arse of someone who is mentioned in the Epstein files more than Harry Potter is in his 7 books?
Presumably Refukker Farage thinks his support for Mandelson becoming US ambassador and his offer to work with him on a UK/US trade deal were also 'serious misjudgements'?

Sounds like a plan.

Can the EU formally investigate Nigel’s ties to Russia too please?

Nigel Farage is in Dubai right now asking billionaires there to fund Reform.

These are the people he is selling the UK off to.

Foreign billionaires.

He loves immigrants so long as they are rich.

Grifting his nasty arse off.
An absent, racist MP worshipping at the MAGA altar from the Brexit rubble, demanding power without accountability. And apparently, being given it.
Every day Farage proves himself unfit for public office. And every day he gets his free pass and laughs his way to the bank.
New - Nigel Farage has been found by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards to have made 17 standards breaches, adding up to over £380,000 in late declarations.

He’s apologised, so no further investigation (which seems unusual for a breach this large)

He's lining his pockets when he should be standing up for Britain.
