Since UKIP & the Brexit Party, Nigel Farage has relied on Russian bots to amplify social media support, but, oh dear ... "Reform UK supporting accounts have almost gone silent after Ukraine hit a few of Russia’s big data centres" via Karen Maunder

Farage says Brexit was a disaster because of Boris Johnson’s deal? Please MEDIA point out that at the time Farage supported his Brexit deal.

They claim it costs £8,000 a month to keep someone in a care home The actual cost including staff, energy, accommodation and food is more like £3,000 But the Landlord, owners, and staffing companies need their vast profits Renationalise Social Care and it will be affordable

The UK has always had a right-wing media. But they are now a hysterical, disinformation spreading cartel. Weaponised by Brexit lies, Corbyn smears, defending Boris Johnson, spreading racism & trying to delegitimise the very idea of a Labour Govt. Another rotten vested interest needing reform.

After experiencing press malpractice first-hand, Tulisa Contostavlos is campaigning for change and joined Anna Sabine MP to make the case for press reform. A free press is essential, but freedom must come with accountability. It’s time to finish what Leveson started.

Jim Ratcliffe, tax-dodging Brexiter billionaire living in Monaco, says the poorest and most vulnerable should have their rights & benefits removed to bolster our economy. Don’t bother telling us this rancid man’s opinions unless you say how much he’s avoided in tax and what Brexit is costing us all.

BBC Business News, today, made the case that pensions are a benefit, not an entitlement after a lifetime of contributions. The BBC are laying the foundations for the acceptance of future cuts. UK already has the lowest pension in Europe. Tax the banks, #newsnight

Crypto billionaire. Convicted in the US. Pardoned by Trump. Trashing our democracy by buying Reform. Does anyone think this is to improve our NHS, our schools, our public services…? Of course it fucking isn’t. It’s to make Ben Delo and Farage richer. That’s it. That’s all they care about.

A reminder
As you hear the latest news of Tory greed and corruption from the Covid inquiry, don’t forget that we had THREE pandemic preparedness exercises, the biggest, exercise Cygnus, in 2016. 

Findings showed the UK was scarily unprepared for a pandemic. The Tories didn’t just fail to act on the findings they refused to fully participate in the exercise including making life or death decisions. 

Ultimately, they favoured ideological austerity over replenishing stockpiles. Four years later Covid hit and instead of acting fast they thought about how their donors and mates could profit as our NHS workers used fucking BIN BAGS while attending to patients. 

To add insult to injury the fuckers partied and got coked off their tits in Westminster as millions died and suffered in isolation.

Never forget what those scumbags did.

So Farage was offered security protection paid by tax payers. so he lied when he said security was refused. Farage turned down taxpayer-funded security which reportedly included a trained driver, car, and bodyguard last year because he deemed it “inadequate” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Reform UK decided to continue providing its own protection for Nigel Farage, rather than ‘gamble with his life’, a spokesperson said

I mean, I'm glad they're *finally* saying this stuff on the BBC. But either the likes of Robinson have only just realised this. Or they've been pulling their punches. Either should be a sackable offence for a high-profile political journalist.

We see it in the US, where even Fox News is questioning Trump’s extraordinary use of the presidency to enrich himself, and we see it here, where Farage is embroiled in yet *another* corruption scandal. These populist grifters all have the same fatal flaw - they simply cannot control their greed.

Elon Musk spent $290 million getting Trump elected. During this midterm cycle, he's spent $85 million. In total, that’s 0.0375% of his $1 trillion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.
