Shocking the extent to which farage’s lies are trumpeted by media organisations desperate to be “fair” across the political spectrum, but getting it badly wrong.

So a virtually brand new news site can cover this story, which is of national importance, but the BBC and our msm remain silent?They’re not just silent they’re now complicit in a cover up of a foreign intelligence agency penetrating a UK political party. This needs to be spread widely.

In a statement after the strike, the IDF said it had been targeting "terrorists" and that steps were taken to "mitigate the risk of harming civilians using aerial surveillance" 40 dead, included 1 "suspected Hamas supporter" Why is UK still not condemning these attacks?

Farage and the Brexit Zealots are only screaming "Betrayal!" not because it's a bad deal, but simply because if it does improve the fortunes of farmers and fisherman, he loses a key argument.

I love to see it—universities across the country linking arms and saying hell no to Trump’s authoritarian assault on higher ed. An attack on one is an attack on all—and they’ll do whatever is necessary to defend each other. The alliance is growing. But the clock’s ticking.
