Utterly disgusting weaponisation of a tragedy to deflect from his own corruption.

Farage needs to be as far removed from UK politics as possible.

Get in the sea.

[Epstein File Search @epsteinsearchin]

One document in the Epstein files is titled child sex trafficking co-conspirators. The DOJ released it fully redacted. In February, Rep. Thomas Massie read one of the blacked-out names into the record himself. Les Wexner.

50 Senate Republicans just blocked a measure that would permanently stop Trump from creating his $1.8B slush fund for J6ers

🚨 BREAKING: Daniel Frost has been jailed for pushing a bin at police officers during disorder in Southampton on Tuesday.

District Judge Anthony Callaway sent the case to be sentenced at the city's crown court after telling the court the offences were "too serious" for the powers of the magistrates' court.

He has been remanded in custody until sentencing in July.

A nomination forced through by the local Chair - to the disgust it appears of local activists who resigned

NOT KENYON

[Miss Chief 🤨 @Midge1415]

I find it kind of astonishing that people who were enraged about police officers being attacked at Manchester Airport went to Southampton last night to erm….attack police officers 🤔

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Trump the idiot... thought that Massie, Cornyn and Cassidy were "immediately" "kicked out of Congress" after he defeated them in the GOP primaries.

He didn't realize they can still vote until the Christmas recess.

So did a lot of the MAGA morons.

[Joncro @JohnCrookes7]

ITV News at 10 failed to show the exchange between Farage and Starmer in full. Could this be because it showed Farage in a bad light as a result of which he incurred the wrath of all parties.

🚨 TWO TIER ROBERT JENRICK EXPOSED AS THE PATHETIC FRAUD HE IS

Kay Burley asks him straight on Sky News about England taking the knee.

Jenrick’s answer? “I have no issues with that.”

Fast forward and this snake is now in #ReformUK, grandstanding about “woke nonsense” and hammering Starmer for taking the knee over George Floyd while ignoring other victims.

Jenrick was busy virtue-signalling like the rest of the Tory swamp.

Nigel Farage called him a fraud years ago. He was right.

This man has the political spine of a wet lettuce and the principles of a weather vane. He’ll say anything, join anyone, and flip on anything if it gets him closer to power.

Watch the clip. Then tell me why anyone should ever trust a single word that comes out of his mouth again.

RT if you’re done with these two-faced grifters 🔥

🚨WHERE IS THE MEDIA??

Trump just said the number 25,000 is bigger than a MILLION. The decline of his brain is now catastrophic.

“Where Martin Luther King made his great speech…he had a million people and I had 25,000 people. I had more people.” Wow.

[Steve Perkins @Perky_43]

In between completing his self-assessment tax return & taking a day off from conducting brain surgery, this patriot shows his support in Southampton for the Nowak family.

I'm sure they find comfort in such a heartwarming tribute.

Thank you, Sir - Mensa will be in touch soon.

Albanians just showed the world how it's done.

The government was selling off prime coastal land and protected islands to Jared Kushner and linked investors for a massive luxury resort turning public beaches and nature reserves into private playgrounds for the ultra-rich. The people said: HELL NO. Thousands poured into the streets under “Albania Is Not For Sale.” Protests turned fiery. They stormed government buildings and burnt down the Prime Minister’s house. This isn’t just about a deal. It’s about sovereignty. It’s about refusing to let your country be auctioned off to foreign billionaires while locals lose access to their own coastline. When elites sell the nation’s future for kickbacks and luxury resorts, the people have every right to push back hard. Respect to the Albanians for refusing to be colonized by cash. Other countries should be taking notes.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

This is a class war.

The British working class have long been manipulated by wealthy elites through propaganda.

What were once community rumours have become algorithms and disinformation.

The underlying tactic remains the same, redirecting anger away from those responsible towards convenient scapegoats.

The medium has changed, but the outcome is the same.

Poor people manipulated into mob violence while the frog faced private school boy who stoked it sits in a members’ club, raising a glass of fine whisky to rolling news coverage of unrest as donations from billionaire backers roll in.

Chaos is profitable. Outrage is profitable. Attention is profitable.

But only for the very rich.

The working classes are left to pay the bill.

[Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi MP @TanDhesi]

Deepest condolences to Henry Nowak's family - what happened to Henry mustn’t happen again.

Indebted to Mr Nowak for his dignity, grace and poise, even in such grief.

Hope all can rally behind his call for unity, as it’s not about religion or racism, but actions of one murderer.

[The News Agents @TheNewsAgents]

"I hope on behalf of those two officers legal action will be taken, otherwise it's the wild west."

@LordBlunkett calls for legal action against Elon Musk, after he linked the wrong police officer - who has now gone into hiding - to Henry Nowak's arrest.

Nigel Farage demands accountability from everyone except Nigel Farage.

That tells you more about his politics than any speech, campaign slogan or BBC lawsuit ever could.

For years, Farage has built his political brand around the idea that Britain is being misled. By politicians. By the media. By the civil service. By the establishment. The message is always the same. Other people are not telling you the truth.

1. Yet when you look at some of the most controversial moments of his own political career, accountability seems to disappear. After Southport, Farage amplified speculation and suspicion before the facts were fully established. At a moment when tensions were already dangerously high, he chose to raise questions that fuelled distrust rather than calm it.

2. Following the murder of Henry Nowak, we saw a similar instinct. Again, the focus quickly shifted towards institutional failure, hidden truths and public anger.

3. The point is not that politicians shouldn't ask difficult questions. They should. The point is that there is a difference between seeking facts and feeding suspicion.

4. Farage, like Trump, has latched onto something unpleasant that has entered modern politics. Distrust spreads faster than trust. Anger spreads faster than caution. People are far more likely to share a suspicion than a correction.

5. That is why today's threat to sue the BBC is so revealing. Because the same politician who has spent years benefiting from outrage, distortion and selective framing suddenly demands the highest standards of accuracy when he believes he is the victim.

6. The hypocrisy is obvious. When others are misrepresented, nuance often seems optional. When Farage believes he has been misrepresented, it becomes a matter for lawyers.

7. This is also why comparisons with Trump are increasingly hard to ignore. They share the same lack of accountability. If something helps the narrative, amplify it. If something damages the narrative, attack the source. If criticism follows, claim victimhood. And never, ever accept responsibility.

8. That last point matters most. Because accountability is not demanding answers from other people. It is being willing to accept scrutiny yourself. Accountability is not demanding answers from other people. It is being willing to accept responsibility when your own words have consequences.

That is the standard Farage applies relentlessly to everyone around him. Just never to himself. Because the central promise of Farage's politics is that Britain has been failed by everyone else.

The central flaw in it is that he never seems willing to consider his own role in making things worse.
