Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Marco Rubio: 'Foreign actor' involved in RAF Fairford incident
published at 11:50
11:50
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said a television interview overnight that he believed the weekend incident at RAF Fairford "clearly involved the hands of a foreign actor".
He did not give any specific details to back up that assertion, but thanked the UK authorities for being "helpful".

It wasn’t the concentration camps. Or the people killed on the streets. Or the destruction of American landmarks. Or the blatant corruption. Or the Epstein files. It was fuel prices. I guess that can’t be ignored in a country that designed itself for driving.

Seven months. A billion dollars a day. Terms worse than before the war. That is what it costs to purge the experts and break the machinery that has coordinated American foreign policy since 1947. They taught the IC to fear — and the president has admitted he never saw the strait closure coming.

Think Reform fucked it with their donations. They're so outrageous, so obviously obscene, that they've managed to accidentally create a consensus for tougher action on political funding.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

From the piece itself: "Hardened anti-immigration campaigners were using their newly developed tactics for the first time." How exactly are they hardened? On account of their many criminal records? Have they all been on a lot of 'protests' previously? How would we know given they all wear masks?

I spoke to some "protestors" in Hull on Saturday and had absolutely the same impression. I was struck by how few in number they were, and how dejected and desperate they seemed about their fortunes- the speaker spent a lot of time whining about beef with other far-right groups.

In June 1934 the British Union of Fascists - the Blackshirts - staged a rally at the Olympia in London. One protestor after another was singled out and beaten up by the crowd. Here's how Ronald Blythe described it.
Description of the BUF Olympia rally, at which a series of hecklers were violently attacked by Blackshirts. The sadism, Blythe writes, reached "an erotic intensity". Stanley Baldwin's private secretary expressed shock and dismay: "It was a deeply shocking scene for an Englishman to see in London."

13/ These are not peripheral figures. James Orr was Reform's Head of Policy. Dan Jukes was Nigel Farage's Chief of Staff. They were among his closest advisers. Farage cannot simply say: “Nothing to do with me” and expect that to be the end of the matter.

6/ The purported donor then refers to spending around £30,000 on the polling. Farage responds: “Amazing.” Did Farage ask: Who paid? Why couldn't they donate directly? Was the arrangement lawful? Was it declared?

3/ Orr's comments raise an even more troubling question. Why did a senior Reform official believe Nigel Farage would “rather not know” about the arrangements being discussed? Had Farage ever instructed his advisers not to brief him on the source or structure of political funding?

2/ On secret payments for polls, his Head of Policy James Orr is recorded saying: “Nigel won't know.” “It's the kind of thing he doesn't want. He would rather not.” But later, Orr says: “He's aware of the support... He knows you're a significant donor.” So what did Farage know?
