"The government have actively avoided looking for evidence Russia interfered."
The Intelligence & Security Committee's Stewart Hosie said the government didn't investigate alleged Russian interference in the Brexit vote, and no one wanted to touch this "with a ten-foot pole".
Starmer has done nothing to rectify this situation. Please repost if you want the government to conduct a full scale inquiry into Russian interference in British politics over the last twenty years. Russia is waging a hybrid war against the UK and this government, like its Tory predecessors, is failing to protect us against the political half of that attack.
@nw_nicholas I think it's bonkers that actual news outlets repeat his excuses without fact checking them, so an ordinary bloke spends half an hour on Google and does it instead....
Africa holds 60% of the world's best solar potential & receives only 2% of global clean energy investment.
With the right finance, the continent could generate 10 times more electricity than it needs by 2040 – entirely from renewables.
Africa must be at the centre of climate justice.
I know there’s a lot going on with the Labour Party, but it is all in the bounds of democratic politics.
This however, paid collusion between the leaders of two political parties in the run up to election, if true, is a scandal of staggering propositions
So in fact Nigel Farage did not need to finance private security because the Home Office offered him free Met Police close protection which he rejected.
Guess the last thing he wanted was policeman seeing and hearing what he was doing every day.
And not a word on the front pages, and pretty much a news blackout on the broadcast media. We are getting into Reverse Pravda mode when it comes to the wrongdoing of @reformparty_uk … anyone would think the media was biased to the right !!!
NEW: Palantir’s revolving door.
A new investigation by @thenerve_news has found Palantir has recruited more than 30 senior officials from UK govt, a strategy transparency experts say poses an ‘acute risk’ of corruption.

The Nigel Farage Guide to Being a Working-Class Hero
Step 1: Be born to a City stockbroker.
Step 2: Attend Dulwich College, fees currently £53,000 a year.
Step 3: Skip university. Become a City commodities trader instead.
Step 4: Run one of your metal broking firms into insolvency.
Step 5: Get elected to the European Parliament. Spend the next 21 years drawing a salary from the institution you're paid to dismantle.
Step 6: Claim £15,500 a year in expenses for an office your party was given rent-free.
Step 7: Put your wife on the EU parliamentary payroll. Take her off only when the rules force you to.
Step 8: Get investigated by the EU's anti-fraud office. Eventually have half your MEP salary docked to repay misused public funds.
Step 9: Throw a Brexit victory party at the Ritz. Decry the "professional political class" to a room of millionaires.
Step 10: Take £450,000 in personal gifts from Arron Banks. House. Car. Lifestyle.
Step 11: Take £5 million, undisclosed, from a Bangkok-based crypto billionaire. Days later, announce you're standing for parliament after all.
Step 12: Win Clacton. Take the £93,904 MP salary. Add £1.2 million a year from GB News at £2,300 an hour. Become the highest-earning MP in the House of Commons.
Step 13: Speak in parliament fewer times than any other party leader. Fly to America at least nine times in your first year. Refuse to hold in-person constituency surgeries. Holiday in France while parliament is sitting.
Step 14: Tell the working class you're one of them. Tell them to vote against their own interests, over and over again.
Pint, mate?
You want proof? - nhs free to the Point of use means pay after. You idiots 🏴🇬🇧🫖☕️
Farage has publicly praised insurance-based healthcare. He’s endorsed the American model. He’s called the NHS “unsustainable in its current form.”
This is what that costs:
GP: £129
A&E: £1,368
Hip replacement: £23,400
Ambulance: £1,045
Heart surgery: £71,997
Free or bankrupted by a heart attack.
Vote tactically May 7. To keep these idiots out.
I am at a loss to understand why the government has done nothing to reform @ofcom which is not fit for purpose and has allowed Farage UK to have its own TV news channel; nothing to push back on the relentless bias and untruthfulness of most of our press; and nothing to respond to the capture of the BBC political coverage by the Gibb brigade.
Remember the NHS before 15 years of Tory austerity..
Same day GP
95% seen within 4 hours in A&E
No queuing ambulances
92% specialist treatment within 18 weeks
85% started cancer treatment within 62 days
It’s not the NHS model that’s the issue, it’s our choice of leadership!
