So Trump not only disarmed Ukraine by removing the Starlink/Starshield capability with defensive drones (the system only operates in Ukraine), he blinded it too with withholding advanced warnings of Russian missile attacks. How evil, cowardly and craven. Is Kash Patel still in Moscow

For the first time, the British government has acknowledged that Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit referendum. So who did BBC Newsnight invite on to discuss what happened? Sergei Markov, Putin’s former spokesman. Par for the course, says Nerve co-founder @carolecadwalla.bsky.social 1/

Vindicated. We who are on the correct side of history have been vindicated. 2016 was NOT a democratic vote, but a Tory posh-boy game hatched at Eton, fuelled by Faragist Russian interference and brought home by racist, bigoted, xenophobes. Brexiterrs if you pretended not to know, now you do.

Not sure about Joe Pike's analysis of Clacton on BBC News... While technically accurate to say Reform "has had a commanding lead in national opinion polls for much of the past 18 months," isn't it misleading to omit that its numbers have been dropping for months and it is now not even in the lead?
Farage's allies say he has been both emboldened and re-energised by this race, and it is not difficult to work out why.
He is clearly popular in the constituency, his party has had a commanding lead in national opinion polls for much of the past 18 months, and he has achieved something remarkable in turning his upstart organisation into a mass-membership movement with a serious chance of getting into government.

Was just watching HF's report and he is still peddling the line "there is some confusion". Reform said that Essex Police advised Farage there was a credible threat against him. Essex Police went on record to say that they did no such thing. The only people "confused" by this seem to be journalists.

Said this before, will again. Badenoch is the most dangerous figure in British politics. She's not as extreme as Farage or Lowe, but her impact is more pernicious. She actively prevents the British centre-right from adopting moderate positions, and thereby facilitates the radicalisation process.
