The hyper-wealthy buying our democracy and laughing in the faces of working people, and the Labour government is openly allowing it to happen by refusing to introduce a cap on domestic donations to stop this exact thing from happening. A cap needs to also be retroactive. www.bbc.com/news/article...

If Nigel Farage achieves nothing else of value in his whole pathetic life, at least he might be the cause of a serious review of the system for political donations. Until these are reformed, our democracy will continue bought + sold by corporate interests. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Nigel Farage & Alex Phillips have been awfully quiet about Nathan Gill pleading guilty to eight counts of bribery relating to pro-Russia statements made in European parliament and articles. Just wanted to refresh their memories about how they were all a team through that period.

Farage appeared to deliberately conflate the European Convention on Human Rights with the European Union - the ECHR and its European Court of Human Rights are part of a completely separate and different legal system to the EU , and he knows it

Hugely misleading headline in the Daily Mail. This only applies to Indian workers who are seconded to the UK from a company based in India on a short term basis. India nationals applying for jobs based in the UK will not benefit from this convention and it does not disadvantage UK workers

"You should have never started it," he (Trump) said. The Kremlin has previously accused Ukraine of starting the war against Russia. "It was they who started the war in 2014. Our goal is to stop this war. And we did not start this war in 2022," Russian President Vladimir Putin said
