And this is what became of that. The Telegraph write up, (the byline for which is shared by the journalist being lied to) includes the denial (25 paragraphs in), but not the information freely offered by Farage at the start.
He tells them what to write. They write it. That is now the relationship.

Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

No, this isn't Tehran. It's Minneapolis.
Some protesters have reported being hit with rubber bullets close to the scene of a reported shooting in north Minneapolis involving federal agents in the area of W. 25th Street and Lyndale Avenue N.

Farage cocked up today and pulled back that curtain. A huge unforced error.
Incredibly, when - rightly - pressed about it, he pretended, to journalists' faces, that he had never said what he said TO THEM an hour earlier.

Nothing that happened today makes a single word of this out of date. In fact, what has happened makes it even more salient.
And that is the benefit of having real conversations, rather than chasing the news, in order to offer the same obvious 'insight' as everyone else, like the dullest town crier.

Gender criticals treated the Cass Review as the word of God, and cast anyone disagreeing with it as dangerous/unscientific/not fit for polite society. But now the entire GC movement is united in opposing a puberty blockers trial, despite it being something Cass called for. They are not honest people

Nigel Farage here nailing Nadhim Zahawi's absence of principles.
So, turns out Nigel Farage was correct all along, when he said “I thought Zahawi had principles. Tonight we learn he's just about climbing that greasy pole, as so many of them are”?

This is essential: a democracy *must* know who is paying its politicians and where that money is coming from.
Cryptocurrency is *designed* to make that impossible.
The whole point is to lift payments outside the scrutiny of the state.

Note: “friend”. Not wife.
Trump’s line is that disrespect to law enforcement is punishable by death. Impeach and remove. This is not tolerable.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."
