There’s a surprise.

[Terence Phayre Knott MC @TerenceKnott1]

Dear Carole
You are an amazing woman.
I have followed you and your work since the disastrous Brexit and I have continued to publish the disgraceful deeds of the slimy Banks, not least the £8 million infiltrated into twisting the result of Brexit - it has splintered Europe and burned an enormous hole in UK finances.

You have been a shining light to us all. Bless you

[Peter Jukes @peterjukes]

There’s a pattern here. Channel 4, BBC, Observer and now Sunday Times - seems Arron Banks is averse to scrutiny

1/ Thought I'd write a short thread linking to some of Raheem Kassam's pro-Russian posts. It's by way of a record in case Raheem threatens legal stuff, which he has done before.

But first, here he is with Trump, Farage, Arron Banks, Andy Wigmore and Gary Gunster.

[Peter Jukes @peterjukes]

Forget the journalistic frustration for people like me and Carole that most ignored the Banks revelations, Russian links and Cottrell PayPal ruses, 7 or 8 years ago. More important is that Farage doubled up with his double dealings in the years since, because of sense of impunity

[Nick Reeves #RejoinEU #NAFO #FBPE @nickreeves9876]

Given that fascist runt Arron Banks is, it seems, seeking to intimidate journalists by setting private investigators on to Times journalist @Gabriel_Pogrund, I think it's time to revisit Arron Banks' Russian connections.

Around the time of the Brexit referendum, Arron Banks was enthusiastically parroting Russian propaganda lies. The lies included the claim that Crimea was as Russian as the Isle of Wight is British. The reality is that Russia only fully conquered Crimea in 1783, and in 1944 it deported its entire Tatar population leading to the deaths of 30-40% of those deported. Banks ignored that truth and parroted the Russian lie.

Banks gave false information about the number of times that he had met Russian officials.

The story that leaked from those meetings is all about Russia offering Banks business deals, and such stories led people to chase the idea that Russia might have funded Banks' Leave EU loan, a pursuit which proved to be futile.

I think people were barking up the wrong tree. Banks is a nasty little fascist who, I think, would have needed no financial inducement to collaborate with Russia. His enthusiastic parroting of Russian propaganda testifies to that.

I believe the main purpose of the meetings, was to coordinate Leave EU's and Russia's Brexit tactics. I can't prove that, but it would have been of far more interest to Russia than some relatively piddling business deals, and, as I have suggested, I don't think Banks would have needed any financial incentive to collaborate with Russia.

Of course we might have known a lot more about this had the Tory Brexit government not "actively avoided" investigating Russian interference in the Brexit referendum.

There's a lot of SHOCKED reaction in the papers today that Arron Banks could be capable of intimidating and surveilling a journalist.

As if...he'd never done such a thing before.

Thank you @lionelbarber for the only article that hasn't tried to pretend this is his first rodeo

Nigel Farage and Richard Tice are both under investigation by the Met Police and the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.

They both come from incredibly privileged backgrounds - both privately educated, born in the most affluent community-belt towns on the edge of London.

They are both multi-millionaires with careers in finance & commercial real estate.

They both targetted constituencies they have no connections with, far from their homes, which also happen to be amongst the most deprived, with the poorest education standards in the UK.

Tice splits his time between Dubai and Belgravia. Farage splits his time between The Groucho Club in Soho and America.

Nothing these men have done throughout their careers gives any indication that they have any interests in the needs of struggling working class families.

It's time people in these constituencies truly understood that not only are they being used, but they are being treated like utter fools, pawns in a political game, because these men consider good working-class folk without traditional higher level education to be easy to exploit and manipulate.

Please, prove them wrong.

Divorce rate is high because men still want the marriages their fathers had, but women no longer tolerate what their mothers endured.

Fucking clowns.

[Sam @SamCKx]

There was a time when I didn’t know who Nigel Farage, Rupert Lowe, Lee Anderson, Richard Tice, Suella Braverman, Robert Jenrick, Zia Yusuf, Tommy Robinson, Katie Hopkins, Laurence Fox and Adam Brooks were.

And I really took that for granted.

@I_amMukhtar They can bloody wait for a white one to treat them,might be ages to be treated or diagnosed..hardly any white british want to do difficult study to be a health care workers...so good luck is all I say to them!

[Canary @TheCanaryUK]

🚨NEW: Reform Deputy Leader Richard Tice is being INVESTIGATED by Parliament’s Standards watchdog for not declaring a financial interest.

75% of all Reform's funding comes from just 3 rich men (including Tice).

The idea this party represents working people is a joke.

[Sam @SamCKx]

I have never experienced racism, been told to “go home”, or had assumptions made about me because of my ethnicity.

I descend from Irish and Polish immigrants, making me a third-generation Briton with immigrant ancestry.

Many people whose families came to Britain as part of the Windrush generation are second or third generation too. Britain is the only home they’ve ever known.

Yet, right now, on this very platform, they are being told to “go home” and that they will be driven out of their own country.

Why? Because they’re black.

Nothing more. Nothing less. It’s racism, it's vile and it thrives on this platform since the standards and decency we used to know here were stripped away.

The picture on the front of Reform's policy is of HMS Ocean on the River Thames in 2012. It was sold by to the Brazilian navy in 2018.
Turns out you can judge a book by its cover.

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

Two top Republicans, both originally pro-Trump, confirm the US attacked Spain using Morocco as a proxy.

US paid Morocco at least $40M two weeks before the Ceuta breach. People were reportedly lured into participating through social media, while the breach was amplified as a "migrant invasion" online by US, Israeli and Russian disinformation and disruption networks, and compromised media networks and politicians on right wing legacy media.

[The Receipts UK ♿ @david_hollas]

So let's get this right. Zia Yusuf stated this morning that the Navy can under article 2 of the ECHR return migrants to French beaches. Yet a Reform policy is to leave the ECHR in it's entirety. Can anyone make that make sense?

[Karolugibugi @karolugibugi]

@vicderbyshire So that kind of implicates that reform are behind the small boats crossings and paying for them to come over so they have something for their manifesto!
