Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Was the U.S. Capitol attacked on January 6, 2021?

Trump nominee: *dodges*

Trump nominee: *dodges*

Trump nominee: Well, individuals entered the Capitol.

Blumenthal: You are in fear—how will you have the courage to be fair and impartial?

[Ryan Crosswell @Ryan_Crosswell]

Corruption is a kitchen table issue. When politicians put themselves first, families pay the price—higher costs, student debt, and fewer good jobs.

I’m running for Congress to stand up for accountability, integrity, and our democracy.

Elon,

It’s alright here

We get rinsed by privatisation, our politicians can be bellends, inequality is a massive issue but overwhelmingly we’re good people who get on.

Our kids don’t get shot at while at school, our healthcare doesn’t bankrupt us, we remove people with Epstein links from our system, and we don’t worship our politicians like cult leaders because we’re above that

So please, pipe TF down.

Susanna Reid, "What did Nigel Farage say to you when you were both at Dulwich college together?"

Peter Ettedgui, "He regularly would come up to me and say Hitler was right, and he's also come up to me and go, gas them"

Susanna Reid, "Are you Jewish?"

Peter Ettedgui, "Yes"

Susanna Reid, "So he was specifically targeting you because you were Jewish, with the most hurtful comment?"

Peter Ettedgui, "Yeah, absolutely"

"My German Jewish grandparents had escaped Nazi Germany in 1937, so I kind of grew up knowing about the Holocaust and everything that had happened"

"This was the first time I had ever been targeted for antisemitic abuse in my life"

"I have to say it was also the last time. I have since never remotely had anyone say anything like that to me"

Susanna Reid, "How old were you at the time?"

Peter Ettedgui, "Between the ages of 13 and 14"

"When I was first approached to talk about this back in 2013, I felt that it was an unfair thing to do. And it was only after Nigel Farage denied it, that I had to say something, because there's no way he couldn't remember"

"I was really worried that it was one person's word against another, but what has come up in the more recent reporting there's a large number of people who not only corroborate my experience but have their own experience"

Ed Balls, "Nigel Farage has at times said this is untrue. At other times said it's playground banter. That it was a long time ago. That there was no intent to cause harm"

*GMB play the clip of Farage denying antisemitism"

Ed Balls, "He's never directly racially abused anybody"

Jean-Pierre Lihou, "That's not true"

"Peter and I were good friends at school, and I've heard it live"

Susanna Reid, "So you weren't the target of Nigel Farage's comments but you witnessed them. Were there any others?"

Jean-Pierre Lihou, "Yeah, anybody who wasn't white would likely to have a comment"

"That was for many years. We're talking 13-14, all the way up to senior school"

Susanna Reid, "So what else did you witness?"

Jean-Pierre Lihou, "Anybody who was not white, Nigel Farage would go up to and say useless, or, send them home"

"Nigel Farage used to draw NF (National Front) all over his schoolbooks, with pride"

"When I came over from Belgium at the time as a ten year old, my father was in the military, my mother was from Germany"

"While I had no conflicts with Nigel Farage, it was odd to come to this big school in London and to have such an obvious thing"

Ed Balls, "Playground banter. We all grew up in the 1970s. It was harsh then. People said things on television about disability which you wouldn't say now"

"But, the Nazi's were right and the hissing of the gas chamber"

Jean-Pierre Lihou, "When you think about it its crazy"

"When I used to be called, because I'm from Germany, the K word, but you say, things you couldn't imagine saying now"

"That's the point. When you look online, those things are starting to come out again, and that's the dangerous thing"

Susanna Reid, "Was this a one off?"

Peter Ettedgui, "No. We were in the same class. Neighbouring desks because we were seated in alphabetical order"

"This was, whenever he saw me. It was almost a kind of gut reflex when he saw me"

"I was very struck by an interview a classmate gave to The Guardian the other day, where he said, I don't understand why Peter took it, why he didn't react"

"I think learnt to throw a protective cloak over myself and ignore him"

"I found my own tribe at school, and it wasn't all bad"

"So I kind of got on with my life"

"That experience marked me"

"Antisemitism is often called the oldest hatred, and when I think of the oldest hatred, it's Nigel Farage's face that I see in front of me"

"I'd like to pick up on this thing about it being the 1970s, it was a different time, you're absolutely right"

"But words like, the K word, the Y word, the Jews, the P word, those were being thrown around"

"Nigel Farage was of a completely different order"

"The regularity, the intention with which he did this, to so many pupils of different races"

Jean-Pierre Lihou, "The singing of the song: gas them all"

"He used to regularly sing that at school"

"It's horrendous. I don't want to sing it on TV"

Peter Ettedgui, "Another story has come out from another Jewish pupil, younger than me, who remembers Farage and his pals waiting outside Jewish assembly, waiting to taunt the kids coming out"

Ed Balls, "Nigel Farage says he didn't ay any of these things with intent"

"But standing outside the Jewish assembly at Dulwich college to say things about the Nazis, feels like it has some intent"

Peter Ettedgui, "A great deal of intent"

Jean-Pierre Lihou, "Regular"

Peter Ettedgui, "Yeah, and the targeting of other students of ethnic minorities waiting at the school gates"

Ed Balls, "Last night Nigel Farage told us that the stories they are telling about him from 50 years ago are not true"

Jean-Pierre Lihou, "It said these things also when he was 14, 15, 16, 17, when the issue of the prefect of the nomination came up, it wasn't just 50 years ago when he was 11"

Ed Balls, "He says the two of you are politically motivated"

Jean-Pierre Lihou, "I don't have any political affiliations at all"

Peter Ettedgui, "And neither do I"

"There isn't a political, but a deeply personal motivation"

"I do not want to see a school bully become my prime minister"

"That probably goes for all 20+ people who have spoken out about his behaviour at school"

James Comey: "I know that Donald Trump will probably come after me again. And my attitude is going to be the same: I am innocent, I am not afraid."

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven. The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.

[Cassie Craddock @CraddockCJ]

To coincide with President Trump’s state visit to the UK last week, I had the honour of attending a roundtable in Downing Street alongside the UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves, US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, as well as representatives from a number of leading UK and US financial and crypto firms.

There is a huge opportunity for closer co-operation between the US and UK on digital assets - a partnership which has the potential to set a template for international cooperation in our industry. As a US-headquartered company with a major presence in the UK, @Ripple is well-placed to leverage its strong transatlantic footprint to further drive US-UK tech innovation and collaboration by supporting blockchain adoption in the UK.

The UK has long been one of the world’s leading global financial centres, and I truly believe it has the opportunity to become a leading digital asset and innovation hub. Increased international collaboration between the UK and US - including initiatives such as the roundtable earlier this week - will further serve to unlock the full economic potential of blockchain technology in both countries. Ripple looks forward to contributing to the discussion!

Where has all the leadership gone?  If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment?  The “suspending indefinitely” of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the Chairman of the FCC's aggressive yet hollow threatening of the Disney Company is yet another example of out-of-control intimidation.  Maybe the Constitution should have said, “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, except in one’s political or financial self-interest.” By-the-way, for the record, this ex-CEO finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny.

@AwakenedOf Anyone know how to get round the NatWest banking app biometric BS .?? My password etc should be enough …

[Karl Austin @KarlAustin]

Have a word with @NatWestGroup please @NCSC. Their app resets the login/registration process when you swap out of it to lookup password digits in a password manager, meaning people will pick weak passwords that they can remember.

[Keith Mansfield📚🚀✨ @KeithMansfield]

@NatWest_Help I am very disturbed NatWest keeps asking me to set up biometric voice approval on my app, before allowing significant payments.

Surely the bank must realize in the era of AI it's a trivial matter to clone someone's voice? Please can you stop requesting this? Fingerprint is a million times more secure.

[Jay m @Mist66Mist]

Natwest does not allow you to up the amount you won't to spend on online banking.unless you go biometric.even when it states you don't have to do it look at the last picture it must be biometric this is how there going to get everyone.....

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Reporter: Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well?

Trump: I’m not familiar, who?

Reporter: The MN House Speaker, a Democrat was assassinated

Trump: The governor of MN didn't ask me to do it

At 0:33 of this video, you hear Hamas's terrorist holding the camera telling his co-conspirators to go to the crowd and force them to participate: "Make them clap, have them make noise"
"خليهم يزعّقوا، خليهم يسقفوا"
Don't believe any "polls" out of Gaza; all fake & fear induced

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

Hamas has turned Gaza into a mafia state - stealing aid, taxing the hungry, and hijacking our cause.⁠ Apparently, October 7, taking women/children/the elderly as hostages & killing Gazans all qualify as acts of "resistance" to Western "pro-Palestine" & pro-Hamas activists. Shame

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Sanctions are needed. Tariffs are needed against those who sponsor this war in one way or another. The end of the war is possible thanks to strength, not words, thanks to the strength of pressure on the only one who continues the strikes and drags out any settlement.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

This strike clearly shows that Russia’s goals have not changed. They want war, striking not only our people and cities but everyone in the world who seeks peace. It is a strike against Ukraine, against Europe, also against President Trump, and against other global actors.
