Our yearlong investigation reveals Nigel Farage courting illicit funding as part of a plot to bring foreign money into British politics, orchestrated by his top aides and caught on hidden camera.

.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

Independent analyses estimate that your actions to dismantle USAID and drastically reduce lifesaving foreign aid have already killed 700,000 people. Here are some of those people. 🧵https://t.co/aKdQpk9QTW

Yesterday, we held what was perhaps the largest political event in Hungary’s history — resolute yet peaceful and joyful.
People came from all over the world and from every Hungarian town and village to stand up for a truly free, humane, and functioning Hungary!

@FGChrisBrayford Ludicrous.

@DrOwenEmmerson And the documentary references on which they rely?

@DrOwenEmmerson Evidence for that special embassy of 1533?

[Franzi @MartRtin]

@DrOwenEmmerson Hmm, yes, thanks, I know. But was he the French permanent ambassador to the English court in April 1533? He may have been conveying an embassy on Francis' behalf, in which case it is a semantic issue, and perhaps one not amenable to modern distinctions.

[Franzi @MartRtin]

@DrOwenEmmerson My understanding is that de Selve was a diplomat as well as clergyman, but not an ambassador at this time. And never an ambassador to England. Have I missed something?

@UkNatArchives The relevant extract was published in 1826:

@herdyshepherd1 At the demo, farmers seemed content to walk with Farage and his Reform MPs who helped persuade quite a lot them to vote for Brexit, and listen to Badenoch telling them the Tories would always back farming. Anger was targeted very precisely on Starmer, Reeves and the APR changes.

[Franzi @MartRtin]

@timfarron So what is the LibDem policy to address these matters? How will you resource a significant increase in support for farmers?

@FarmersWeekly @LizWebsterSBF @SaveBritishFood @Nigelrefowens @1GarethWynJones @agricontract @TWBFarms @wheat_daddy @Wyefarm @JoeWStanley @laithafarm Farmers, you are being riled by the same shitstirring grifters who persuaded you brexit would be good for farming. Stop being taken in.

@FarmersWeekly @LizWebsterSBF @SaveBritishFood @Nigelrefowens @1GarethWynJones @Wyefarm @agricontract @JoeWStanley You're making fools of yourselves.
