"One of the reasons I did so badly at school was that I didn't get to mark my own homework... We all saw the Channel Four report." Reform has cleared itself of all wrongdoing over its donations, but is the real trouble for Farage just around the corner? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/refo...

Reform investigation into Reform finds Reform did nothing wrong. Is it any surprise? | The News Agents
Reform UK has investigated itself, and found it broke no rules and no laws when it accepted overseas donations in a Channel 4 sting. Was there going to be any other outcome?

The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”

What an insightful analysis from @pimlicat.bsky.social on why Tommy Robinson supporters give money. I have never thought of it in that way. That it's the process of giving which gives them hope & satisfaction, & where it ends up is of little matter. Quite sad, & makes the grift even worse.

He defends Russia for helping Iran kill Americans. He defends China for helping Iran kill Americans. He pretends Iran hasn’t killed Americans. And his strategy for the clearly failing war he started is to lie about it. He says Canada is bad, an enemy, while North Korea is good. What can’t he do!
