Is it possible that the "rage" incited Farage rioters had their drinks paid for, so that they could get totally bladdered?

And then be extra troublesome, extra violent, and extra unpleasant?

Anyone got insights into this possibility?

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Victoria Derbyshire, "Keir Starmer telling Nigel Farage he has exploited the Henry Nowak case, is he right?"

Telegraphs' Annabel Denham, "Err, no, I don't think the PM is right"

Labour's Tom Hayes, "I'm just shocked by that, you've got a grieving family going through some of the worst experience anyone can ever know, and they've called on Nigel Farage not to exploit the death of their boy; and he literally did that in the House of Commons"

"Nigel Farage was given the opportunity to condemn the violence, which he himself incited, by calling for protests. He could have condemned the violence"

Annabel Denham, "Do you truly believe that the people in Southampton would have not taken to the streets in response to that sickening footage?"

Tom Hayes, "I spoke to the Southampton MP, the vast majority of people in their city protesting, came from outside Southampton"

"On top of that, Nigel Farage said this evening that there will be more to come"

*Shocking, Reform UK's Robert Kenyon again refuses to apologise for insulting Carol Vorderman, and doubles down* #BBCQT

Sarah Wakefield, "I spoke to Carol Vorderman this morning, she's really distressed that you, Robert Kenyon, have failed to apologise for any of these comments"

Fiona Bruce, "What, about her specifically?"

Sarah Wakefield, "About her specifically. She is watching at home tonight. And I wonder if you can look down that camera and say to Carol, you know what Im sorry"

Robert Kenyon, "You know what.. I never said anything to Carol. I commented on a comment"

"Don't get me wrong it was a disgusting comment that someone else had written, but I commented on a comment"

Fiona Bruce, "With approval?"

Robert Kenyon, 'Pardon?"

Fiona Bruce, "With approval?"

Robert Kenyon, "It was a crass joke, its not something I'd say now"

Sarah Wakefield, "Every woman in this room and at home has been subjected to shaming, in person or online"

Robert Kenyon, "That's disgusting, it's horrible"

Sarah Wakefield, "He's just proven my point. Can you believe this?"

"We have all been subjected to it, and the fact that a man like you cannot apologise, I think is disgraceful"

Robert Kenyon, "I've addressed the issue"

Sarah Wakefield, "On tope of that, Reform UK's policies on women are shocking"

"Reform on day one want to repeal the Equality Act"

Robert Kenyon, "No, no, that's absolute nonsense"

Sarah Wakefield, "That's Reform UK's party policy"

"I can't believe as a mum of a young daughter, I'm having to sit here in 2026, and make the case for me and my daughter to have the right to equal pay"

Robert Kenyon, "No no"

Sarah Wakefield, "This is what the Reform party stand for"

"They are a party that has a problem with women"

"And they need to sort it out"

Robert Kenyon, "No no"

COUP 53 is a must-watch investigative documentary. It’s made by independent British-Iranian filmmaker Taghi Amirani.

For a brief period of time Iran was moving towards democracy. It’s Prime Minister was Mohammad Mossadegh who served for a total of a little over two years, across two consecutive terms, from April 1951 until the coup of August 1953 (with a brief interruption of five days in July 1952).

That coup was orchestrated by British & American secret services. I urge you to watch this compelling and important piece of film making which is in cinemas now . @tagz23

Vatnik Soup.

The account that ridicules Russian disinformation.

Alongside Russian proxies.

[Vatnik Soup @P_Kallioniemi]

The greatest lie Russia ever told was convincing people it is a superpower.

Its economy is smaller than Italy's.

Its GDP per capita is lower than Uruguay's.

Its military is the second-best... in Ukraine.

The only things Russia truly invests in and innovates are kinetic warfare and information warfare.

It has one of the worst demographic outlooks in the world.

Russia is a paper bear.

The global Tice meltdown….

[Politics In The U.K. @politixintheuk]

🚨 MELTING TICE 🚨
Tice’s appearance on Bloomberg’s Zero podcast was a car crash. Reform UK’s "energy spokesman" dismissed batteries as “ridiculous”, claimed “thousands” of scientists reject climate science, yet failed to name any. He even threatened to walk out when confronted with IPCC evidence.
With Reform opposing wind, solar and batteries, his answer to the energy crisis is simply: “drill, drill, frack Lincolnshire.

“Quiet anger is good, you can turn quiet anger into a positive, as opposed to rage, which never leads to anything good”

This you, @Nigel_Farage ?

Well this is all a bit awkward, isn’t it?

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

"Neither Piker nor Uygur have said anything that is more divisive or dangerous than former Israeli president Isaac Herzog’s declaration that all Palestinians were responsible for the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023. A UN commission of inquiry found that Herzog incited the commission of genocide with this statement and said that his later modifications of that utterance were an effort “to deflect responsibility for the initial statement”. Still, the British seem fine with that first statement: Herzog met with Keir Starmer in London in 2025. Clearly that meeting was deemed to be conducive to the public good."

The swamp ballroom?

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

Fuck me, that sexist plumber that Reform found in a pub DIED ON HIS ARSE.

It was the worst performance I’ve ever seen on QT. I almost felt sorry for him at one point then recovered by remembering that he’s a misogynistic arsehole standing for a racist party.

[George Noble @gnoble79]

NVIDIA IS BUYING ITS OWN CHIPS AND CALLING IT REVENUE

And your retirement account is secretly holding the bag.

This scheme is literally straight out of the Enron playbook...

In January 2026, a special purpose vehicle called Valor Compute Infrastructure was created with one purpose:

Buy Nvidia's chips so Nvidia could book the sale as revenue.

Valor raised $5.4 billion and purchased over 100,000 of Nvidia's GB200 GPUs.

But $1.9 billion of that money came FROM Nvidia itself.

Nvidia invested $1.9 billion into the shell company, then sold that same shell company $5.4 billion worth of its own chips and booked every dollar as revenue.

It's the Girl Scout whose dad bought all the cookies and then she wins the sales contest because Dad was the customer. Except this Girl Scout is a trillion-dollar company and the cookie sale is $5.4 billion.

But it gets MUCH worse:

The remaining $3.5 billion in financing came from Apollo Global Management. Apollo structured the debt, packaged it into securities, and then sold those securities to Athene.

And guess who Athene is? Apollo's OWN insurance subsidiary. The one that sells fixed annuities to American retirees as safe, conservative retirement products.

Follow the chain:

Nvidia funds a shell company with $1.9 billion. The shell company buys $5.4 billion in Nvidia chips. Apollo finances the remaining $3.5 billion. Apollo sells the debt to its own insurance arm. That insurance arm packages it into annuity products and sells them to retirees who think they're buying something safe.

The retirees have no idea that their retirement savings are now backed by 100,000 computer chips sitting in some data center that will be worth pennies on the dollar in three years.

Now look at what's happening inside Athene:

$74.2 billion in US reserves but $217 billion in assets have been shifted to a Bermuda-based captive insurer, outside normal US regulatory oversight.

$103 billion of that portfolio (roughly 35%) is classified as Level 3 assets. That means there is no observable market price.

These assets are valued by internal models, not by actual markets.

And sitting on top of all those unpriced assets? 16.6x leverage.

If you're getting flashbacks to 2008, you should be.

Back then it was mortgages bundled into securities that nobody understood, sold to investors who had no idea what they were holding, rated as safe by agencies that never looked under the hood.

Today it's GPU-backed securities. Computer chips bundled into structured credit instruments, routed through an offshore insurance subsidiary, and sold to you as a retirement product.

The collateral is 100,000 GPUs leased to a single customer through an xAI subsidiary. If xAI stops making lease payments for any reason - financial distress, a pivot in strategy, anything - the entire structure unravels.

And Nvidia releases new architectures every year, so each generation delivers dramatically more compute per watt. A 5 year lease on technology that's obsolete in 2 years creates a mismatch that should terrify every annuity holder in America.

Every single step in this chain is technically legal. The SPV is legal, the lease is legal, Nvidia's equity stake is legal, the securitization is legal, and the Bermuda transfer is legal.

But legality and legitimacy are not the same thing.

I've seen every trick Wall Street has ever pulled in my 45 years of doing this.

And what I'm looking at right now is a pipeline that takes AI infrastructure risk, launders it through 8 layers of financial engineering, and deposits it in the retirement accounts of Americans who never agreed to fund Elon Musk's data centers.

In 2008 it was mortgage-backed securities.

In 2026 it's GPU-backed securities.

Different asset. Same greed. With the same ending.
