NEW: A convicted money launderer has operated at the highest level of UK politics for a decade. Why? Because Farage has enjoyed almost total impunity from the UK press.

In my new piece for @thenerve_news, I expose the decade of denial that’s enabled him to act with impunity

This woman is reciting Trump’s words exactly as he said them during the NATO summit.

We have become so inured to Trump’s incoherence that is sanewashed by the media 24/7 that we fail to recognize just how much he’s declined.

Reading a transcript of his words makes it SO CLEAR.

NEW: Why did Nigel Farage throw the 2019 ‘Brexit’ election for Boris Johnson? What does it have to do with Harborne’s £5m gift? And why is it tearing apart Britain’s far-right parties?

The ethnic cleansing of the West Bank has reached a new stage. Area C, has been almost completely emptied of Palestinians and the ethnic cleansing of Area B is well under way. Now the cleansing of Area A, which is supposed to be under the PA, has begun:

1) Settlers established five new outposts overnight, with at least three located in Area A, where Israeli entry is illegal. A new outpost in the 'Ayun area, and others in the Wadi Tayasir and near Jenin and Nablus complete the picture.
2) Clashes broke out during a dispute at one of the newly established illegal outposts near the Palestinian village of Harmala. An Israeli civilian murdered Mohammad Faraj Al-Malhi, a 27-year-old resident of East Jerusalem.
3) Meanwhile, the settlers launched a large coordinated attack on the village of Deir al-Hatab, located east of Nablus. Settlers set fire to multiple homes and vehicles, often using Molotov cocktails. At least nine Palestinians were injured during the raid, including a 45-year-old man shot in the foot and a woman suffering from smoke inhalation.
4) Families from Yarza were forced to flee for the second time in March 2026. After the families fled, settlers reportedly set fire to the abandoned structures to prevent any potential return.

As you can see in the map, Area A is a tiny area. The only thing left for the Palestinians and now the settlers are coming to take it. Full ethnic cleansing.

@FAGE_UK not so delicious this morning

Follow the money: 80% of Reform’s funding comes from Tory donors, we can exclusively reveal

The majority of the money behind Farage’s movement was being supplied by Conservative interests even before the defection of so many high-profile figures, writes @CharlieNotOld

Listening to Art Garfunkel sing Scarborough Fair at 80 years old gave me goosebumps. That golden voice never fades… What a legend! 🫶🫶

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Statement from the Nobel Foundation

One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind," and it specifies who has the right to award each respective prize. A prize can therefore not, even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed.

For additional information, please refer to the Norwegian Nobel Committee: https://t.co/HqL1ZR8Bos

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

I am so tired….

People like me speak out because children are dying

Not Israeli children
Not Palestinian children

Just children. Innocent. Terrified. Gone.

We’re not politicians. We don’t have power

We’re just doing our best to call out a genocide

This isn’t about “taking sides”

It’s about taking a stand for humanity and for the basic principle that no child should be bombed, burned alive or starved

So when we speak out and are met with accusations of antisemitism, and
when our grief is twisted, our intent questioned, and when we are called terrorist sympathisers because we can’t bear to see another lifeless little body

It’s not just offensive
It’s f*cking depressing

We’re not driven by hate
We’re driven by horror

And we’re using the only tools we have - our words, our platforms, and our refusal to look away

Because if we don’t speak now,
we become the silence that history will condemn.

@DisneyStudios say they support disabled people but their changes to the DAS system appear to say otherwise.
Actions speak louder than words!
