Crypto-investor who lives in Thailand gives record-breaking donation to Reform UK, to help it win power in a country he doesn't live in.
Britain's political funding laws are a charred and smoking ruin. Ducking change was a catastrophic mistake by Labour.

I am a major supporter of multilingualism, and apparently Nigel Farage is a support of multilingualism for his own children, but not a supporter of multilingualism for other children. He's against children being bilingual, but is apparently fine with his own children speaking perfect German.

Russian attacks on Ukraine never stop:
◾️Russia attacked Odesa with drones last night, injuring six people.
Because of the blast wave, two people became trapped in their apartments. Rescuers, together with police officers, freed them and handed them over to medics.

Analysis: the Ukraine peace deal has stumbled yet again over an inevitable obstacle: Putin
The path ahead for Ukraine peace talks is unclear, Donald Trump has said, after what he called “reasonably good” talks between Russian president Vladimir Putin and US envoys which nonetheless failed to achieve a breakthrough
After their hours-long meeting at the Kremlin on Tuesday, US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, were set to meet top Ukrainian negotiator Rustem Umerov in Florida on Thursday. Continue reading...

This is vile and so so wrong. GB News is the TV version of X.
Extreme racism like this should not be platformed as ‘news.’
It is absolutely disgusting and another attempt to drag ‘debate’ to the right and destabilise our democracy.

I often wonder how much of it is due to being held hostage by Murdoch, Rothermere and other right wing media barons. They're not idiots, if I (we) can see the stupidity of it all, so can they.
All they are doing is exposing themselves as cowed by big business and possibly other sinister interests.

Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

Thiel started up a Network State private city in Honduras. It's turned into an $11 billion nightmare for Honduras that could bankrupt the country.

Prospera, the eccentric private libertarian enclave in Honduras
Investors have taken advantage of Honduran law to build a private city with its own rules, a utopia for those advocating the abolition of the state – a project that has proved divisive.
