Nerve co-founder @carolecadwalla on her loooooong decade investigating Nigel Farage

Meet the men who made @Nigel_Farage.
A crypto-billionaire. A convicted fraudster. A man who accepted Russian bribes.
Farage might have called a by-election to escape scrutiny, but he's not getting away with it this time.

There are only 8 Reform MPs and they have a combined wealth of over £70,000,000.
They have consistently voted against every single improvement to workers rights and plan to scrap legal protections left right and centre.
They are funded by the bosses to rip up your rights.
It was terrible Mr Vice President what happened. And lessons will be learned. But here’s a thought - maybe concentrate instead on why 44000 Americans died last year from gun related deaths, and what can be done about your dreadful disease before you start lecturing others
🔺Excl: Reform UK leader Nigel Farage bought a £1.4 million property in cash shortly after receiving a £5 million personal gift from billionaire donor Christopher Harborne, according to property records seen by Sky News. Reform spox: "The offer and process for purchase of this property commenced before the gift".

So Russia is revealed to be sending intelligence to Iran about US sites it should bomb. The next thing, Pres Trump gets on the phone to Putin and offers to lift oil-related sanctions against Russia.
Trump: "Kamala would get us into World War III…All of your sons and daughters will end up getting a draft notice, a thing called the draft. 'Dad, what's this?' 'Oh, congratulations, you've been drafted into the military. You're going to fight a war.'"
Senator Whitehouse’s Top 10 list of Trump’s favours for putin.
If you still think the 'America First' slogan applies to anyone other than putin, this list is going to be a massive reality check. Whitehouse lays out ten distinct times recently where the Trump administration didn't just 'negotiate'—they basically functioned as the Kremlin’s high-end concierge service.
From freezing weapons for Ukraine while they were literally under fire, to rolling out the red carpet in Alaska for a dictator, the pattern is so consistent it’s borderline predictable.
As Whitehouse points out, quoting the late John McCain, Russia is essentially a 'gas station run by gangsters.' So why is the 'most powerful man in the world' acting like he’s the one working the night shift at the Russian pump?
Here is Senator Sheldon Whitehouse walking through Trump’s pro‑Kremlin moves.
“Here's a sampling of what Trump has done for Russia just lately and usually at the expense of American interests. There are many, but here's a top ten.
One. After Trump and Vice President Vance theatrically chastised the heroic Ukrainian President Zelensky in front of TV cameras in the Oval Office last year, Trump paused our weapons shipments to Ukraine.
Two. In July, during the worst Russian bombing campaign of the war until that point, Trump paused an already funded weapons shipment for Ukraine, including the Patriot interceptors that protect civilians from putin’s savage attacks.
Three. That same month, Trump's Treasury Department stopped imposing new sanctions and closing sanctions loopholes, effectively allowing dummy corporations to send funds, chips, and military equipment to Russia.
Four. Leaked phone calls show that White House envoy Steve Wittkoff and putin envoy Kirill Dmitriev have worked together closely behind the scenes on a peace deal favorable to Russia.
Five. Last summer, Trump rolled out the presidential red carpet for the Russian dictator on American soil, with a summit in Alaska that yielded, unsurprisingly, no gains toward ending the war in Ukraine.
Six. Trump's Vice President traveled to the Munich Security Conference last year to parrot Russia's anti-Western talking points, pushed by right-wing groups that putin has long funded and used to create political strife in Europe.
Seven. Trump installed Russia apologist Tulsi Gabbard as his Director of National Intelligence, much to the glee of Russian state media.
Eight. Upon the confirmation of Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi, the Department of Justice shuttered its anti-kleptocracy work that had successfully targeted putin’s Russian oligarchs.
Nine. Late last year, Trump unveiled a new so-called national security strategy, which abandoned traditional alliances in Europe and favored a transactional foreign policy that the Kremlin praised as largely consistent with Moscow's vision and desires.
Ten. The Trump administration has even paving the way for Russia's return to global sports competition, ending its isolation in those arenas in the wake of the hostile Ukraine invasion and state-backed systemic doping programs in Russia.
That's a top ten, but the list goes on.
If Trump were purposefully doing Russia’s bidding, it is hard to see what he would be doing differently.
The United States is the most powerful nation in the world. Russia is a weak, corrupt regime.
My old friend Senator John McCain used to say that Russia is a gas station run by gangsters with an army.
It doesn’t make sense that the President of the United States—who insists, insists on being dominant in essentially every relationship—is so submissive to one person. And that one person is Russia’s dictator, vladimir putin.
So what is it about Trump..."
