The Farage surrogate on BBC 5 live saying that ‘Nigel wasn’t in politics’ when he accepted £5m from Christopher Harborne He *owned* Reform at the time and became a MP candidate shortly afterwards. This line doesn’t wash and isn’t going to go away

1/13 I've written recently that the Strait of Hormuz should never be viewed in isolation. The latest strikes on Beirut and subsequent missile exchanges may reinforce that argument. Because this is increasingly becoming a regional maritime problem. #Hormuz #Shipping

Sent out my free midweek update. US weakness is accelerating as both Israel and Iran are defying the USA in the Middle East. Trump is raging privately and lying publicly. He is also preparing. His decision to opt for total loyalty is not ego, it is about control. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

I want to say thank you, and farewell, to Stephen Colbert before his final show this evening. But I also want to remind folks of the corruption behind his cancellation. Watch.

Can't thank Stephen Colbert enough for the decades of laughs he's given us. He's been positively therapeutic in these troubled times & I can't wait to see what he does next! 👀 (plus, he let me sit behind his desk) 🙏

Today marks 3 years since Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was shot and killed while reporting in the West Bank—and we've yet to see accountability for her death. As I told her brother Tony, her niece Lina and her nephew Victor last week, I won't rest until we do.

The media forensically dissects the pasts of people who challenge the status quo, such as Polanski and Corbyn. Fair enough, up to a point: we should know about our representatives. But it's far less inquisitive about those who defend power, however great their misdeeds, such as Nigel Farage.🧵

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Starmer has zero convincing arguments for a £1.6bn policy that wasn’t in the manifesto. But if you’re a billionaire Silicon Valley bro - as Blair’s financial patron, Larry Ellison is - building a centralised database has many enticing possibilities 2/ www.thenerve.news/p/digital-id...
