Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said there was "no obligation" to declare a £5m gift he received from a billionaire backer before he became an MP. Sky’s Beth Rigby points out the rules

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Rayner is gone so where is the media outrage at Farage and his taxing dodging scams? Home bought in his partners name avoiding stamp duty, GB News pay via a company to avoid 40% tax rate on his 92k pay from them.

Brexit trade meetings remain a state secret
Secrecy maintained over the extent to which Britain is willing to abandon environmental and consumer protections to secure trade deals after Brexit.

Another opportunity for Europe to talk to talented people in the US and invite them to move. EU/UK needs to welcome this rich reserve of knowledge and researchers who wish to live in a place that appreciates and wants to see their work flourish and pay dividends for humanity.

1. You feel powerless? Don’t know what you can do to resist the rise of fascism? Here is an answer: Good Things. Fascism inflicts pain and harm as a matter of doctrine. Kindness, care and conviviality defend us from it. The more we build community, the less it can take root. 🧵

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Lots of speculation about the reason for this & why Trump is bothered about it. Remember - 1. Romanian presendential election annulled due to social media and Russian interference. 2. If you accept a link between Trump and techbros and Russia, it makes more sense. 3. Tate is a leverage point
