EXCL: Nigel Farage has been trying to block Bank of England cryptocurrency plan that could be costly for billionaire bankrolling his party.

Reform UK leader has said Christopher Harborne wants nothing in exchange for millions donated to party and undeclared £5m personal gift to Farage revealed by Guardian.

But Farage used private meeting at Bank to urge governor to drop plans for state-run alternative to digital currency that has made his Thailand-based benefactor one of richest people in world.

Cracking tale from @tomburgis

@Kooshykooooooo I think I’ve woken up today in a parallel universe where we lost and played terribly.

[Alex Edmeades @EdmeadesAlex]

@KurtAVFC @_Symmo @KCCOvilla88 Seems to be a huge media agenda to get Guehi into the starting line up

[Alex Edmeades @EdmeadesAlex]

@_Symmo Bloody hell we beat the previous semi finalists 4-2 on the opening match and really dominated the second half - you’d have thought we lost from these ‘journalists’!? 🤯

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved.

B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf

Soccer has always been defined by free-flowing, unbroken action. But for the World Cup in America, FIFA is using “hydration breaks” to shoehorn in commercials. 🔗 https://t.co/pFuy90orj6

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.

At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

[Craig Jones @Craig_J_85]

What I want after this world cup is over.

1. USA to NEVER host a World Cup.
2. Infantino to be booted out.
3. Hydration Breaks to never occur when temperatures are at a certain level.
4. Ticket prices to be capped at a reasonable amount.
5. USA to NEVER host a World Cup.

Trump just tweeted this.

Here’s injustice Jeremy Johnson handing down the sentences at today’s disgusting stitched up Palestine Action trial.

Any faith I ever had in the fairness of the British justice system is completely is dead.

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

No words needed 💔

[Richard Sanders @PulaRJS]

This is barbaric. They were not permitted to explain to the jury why they carried out the attack on the Elbit factory - which makes the weapons that kill Palestinian children. And the jury was never told they would be sentenced as terrorists. /1

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

I'd never condone violence against a police officer - this is utterly dishonest.

The jury weren't judging them on a terrorism offence. This is an awful sleight of hand.

The creeping encroachment of terror laws onto protest & removal of our juries should worry all of us.

[Rangzen @revoltinghippie]

Judge Johnson who sentenced the Filton 4 to prison today is the same Judge who reduced Tommy Robinson's sentence for contempt of court

Seven hours. All children.

[evan loves worf @esjesjesj]

The world’s first trillionaire made a pedophile rapist the president of the United States and then personally made sure starving children couldn’t get food and medicine, with 14 million deaths projected from his actions alone. He’s possibly the most evil person in history.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

It's pretty disgraceful that there has been absolutely no mention of this from the Prime Minister.

It's increasingly clear that some attacks, correctly, warrant disgust, emergency measures and days of media coverage.

Others seem to be met with silence.

[Alex Edmeades @EdmeadesAlex]

@gw850 He’s doing exactly the same with Morgan Rogers 🙄

[Prez @PrezLives2022]

So this confession by an Epstein victim actually naming Trump as one of her rapists is why we are back at war with Iran…funny how war works

[Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury]

This is Trump’s Watergate.

Today, the @nytimes released a truly stunning report on the Epstein cover-up by the White House. 

Collusion, breaking the law, evading subpoenas—it’s all in there:
- Trump quashing the files
- The VP, COS, DOJ, FBI, and others colluding in the Situation Room to stop their release and compliance
- Officials lying to the public 
- Admin in-fighting and exits
- Officials who appeared in front of Congress during this time

Read the report here: https://t.co/prgyF2Isfg
