[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Lady with red glasses, "Nigel Farage took a £5m payment from a crypto billionaire"

"Suddenly, Reform UK are a party for crypto currency"

"How are we to trust that you and your party wouldn't sell this off to the highest bidder"

"When you have a leader who runs your party who say up the IRA for £80"

Fiona Bruce, "I have no idea Nigel Farage said up the IRA for £80"

Clip of Nigel Farage saying just that #BBCQT

@HeTalksRugby Vesty for me.

An incredible bit of sports journalism by The Guardian here. A short summary of the playing style of all 48 World Cup nations and a short profile of all 1248 World Cup players. Bookmark and refer to the resources when watching the obscure matches: https://t.co/tdLGq8en0o

If Keir Starmer, Ed Davey or Zack Polanski or even Badenoch took a £5million bung or used the language Farage has twice..

They would be GONE. The media alone would have hounded them out of their job within a week.

There's your two tiers alright.

And it is the media.

If only someone in the media would expose Farage's incitement yesterday via performative utterance in the same way that Jonathan Miller humiliated Enoch Powell and his grubby little racism.

Mandelson described the £750m Palantir deal as “My Personal Pride and Joy”. But what do the just-released documents reveal about his role in the network of Peter Thiel and Jeffrey Epstein?

My first take for @BylineTimes

Angela Rayner - £40k underpaid stamp duty - repaid. Lost jobs in Cabinet and Dep. PM.

Peter Murrell - £400k theft from SNP - going to prison

Huge coverage of both

Nigel Farage - £5m undeclared bung (possibly more) - goes to ground for a month.

Media coverage? You judge.

Mate, this is embarrassing.

You are literally not the shadow Home Secretary.

You’re not even an elected politician.

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

Fortunately, Britain has a Bermuda-registered mass circulation newspaper owned by a French-domiciled billionaire, a television station owned by a Dubai hedge fund and a political party backed by a Thailand-based crypto tycoon to remind us of the importance of patriotism
