Evening, #Ofcom. A British politician is advertising, in advance, that his "full verdict" on the Prime Minister's speech today will be given in his own programme, which carries his name, on GB News tonight. Aren't News channels supposed to show due impartiality? 🤮 x.com/Nigel_Farage...

Apologies to the neighbours. I will stop laughing at some point.

When I revealed terrorists were using the
small boats to enter the UK, the Home
Office - with the support of Yvette Cooper
- threatened me.


They sought to cover up a national security
emergency.


We may now be seeing the consequences
of their unforgivable complacency,Farage X
How is it that Danny Tommo sits in a cell
while five suspected terrorists are out on
bail?


Is this two-tier Britain, or am I missing
something?RAF base terror suspects are "British
nationals". So were most of the 7/7
terrorists, the murderers of Lee Rigby &
many more


Citizenship is not the same thing as
belonging. And belonging requires more
than a piece of paper.


We should redefine what it means to be
British.Bbc
No explosive devices were found in three
vans searched near RAF Fairford as part of a
terrorism investigation but a quantity of
petrol was recovered, police have said.


Five British nationals were arrested in the
early hours of Sunday morning after a
resident living near the Gloucestershire
airbase reported suspicious activity
involving three vans.

In Oleshky, the Armed Forces of Ukraine dropped 4 tons of food supplies at night. A photo from an Oleshky resident—she found a box in her garden in the morning. She says it was scary at night; drones were flying low. She woke up—her heart was pounding, hid against the wall. And in the morning, such a find: canned fish, canned meat, oil, sugar, grains.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

🧵 You've heard the one sided attack, but the right wing rags or the wreckers working internally don't get the final say. It's time to speak out.
🧵 Since I announced that I was standing to become Deputy Leader of the Green Party, I have been subjected to a sustained series of allegations, complaints, leaks and personal attacks. Some have been explicitly racist and Islamophobic.

It didn't stop when I was elected.
I have tried not to respond to every allegation. I've tried to be patient, trust the proper processes and let the evidence speak for itself.
But there comes a point when you have to look at the pattern.
In early August, allegations were made about the Special Responsibility Allowance allocated to me by the Leeds Green Group.
The Head of Democratic Services looked at it. The Office of the City Solicitor looked at it. Both confirmed that the Green Group had acted properly.
The allegations continued.
Now Leeds City Council's Internal Audit team has completed a further review. We have received confirmation that:
"The payment for the Special Responsibility Allowance (Opposition Group Officer Holder) has been made by the council in accordance with normal practice, and that the council has discharged its role appropriately."
