@Charlygotyou Yep - I thought all my bills were on direct debit, didn’t realise one of them wasn’t, obviously didn’t open any of the mail with final reminders. The bailiffs were called for a fairly small bill 😔

🚩🚩 This is why the latest Farage scandal stinks.
Interior Architecture Landscape had no public profile before the Guardian reported a £100k donation to Reform. It created a website before publication & after the first donation, usuing stock images.
It appears the company's only client is the Ghandehari family & it appears to be a services company for their properties, (just as Royal Mansion Ltd was, RM being owned by Ghandehari and/or his mother).
The Person of Significant Control seems to be a nominee for hire. Without doubt Ghandehari is donating to Reform via the company (now in £25k tranches to minimise laundering suspicions). Ghandehari paid for Farage to attend Davos via the family trust.
If the supposed arrangement with the company is correct then that is illegal & likely tax evasion. You cannot hide the beneficial owner of a company & Ghandehari almost certainly signs off & funds the donations.

@London_W4 It’s not even a high street! Kinda false to classify it that way, and they have good shops there - mum likes Thai food is delicious, and if you want something more “English” there was a Gregg’s just across the road. Conveniently left that out eh?

So listen.

@thenerve_news has the receipts.

A comprehensive timeline of Nathan Gill & Nigel Farage’s pro-Kremlin influencing activities & 2 other MEPs, David Cobourn & Jonathan Arnott.

Please read & share.

Four years 'work experience' @waitrose? Four?! It's an absolute disgrace. Exploitative. I won't beg you to employ him. This young man deserves better. I do, however, hope another employer sees his genuine potential as a valued employee.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

NEW: Police knew a Kremlin spy ring recruited former leader of Reform Wales at least 3 years ago.

So why was Nathan Gill not charged till Feb this year?

Pls read part 2 of @thenerve_news special investigation into Nathan Gill. And please share!

And now, the reality:

- Cambodia and Thailand: it was a border conflict that ended thanks to mediation by Malaysia. All Trump did was a phone call threatening tariffs.
- Kosovo and Serbia: there was no war
- DRC and Rwanda: war did not end, violence continues
- Pakistan and India: India is adamant there was no US mediation
- Israel and Iran: the US was literally a belligerent (remember the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities?)
- Egypt and Ethiopia: there was no war
- Armenia and Azerbaijan: the "peace deal" hasn't actually been signed
- Israel and Hamas: beyond obscene for the US to take credit for ending a genocide it was the key enabler of

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine.

My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask:

Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

It's quite early on a Sunday morning, but I woke up thinking about flags. 🤷‍♂️

I was force-fed, yet another Tommy Robinson video last night with a woman challenging some guy in a hard hat and high-viz, who was putting flags on lampposts.

The lady in question asked if the man was a local to the community, to which he replied “I'm local to this country, I'm a law-abiding citizen”.

I'm not sure what it was about the phrase, but it occurred to me that these men that are being paid to travel the country and put up flags, are, most likely, the same men that stared barging into council offices with copies of the Magna Carta, during Covid.

Here's my assertion: this 'movement' that are illegally putting up flags, are the same people that cut down ULEZ cameras, the same people that shouted about 'protect our monuments', the same people who held anti-lockdown protests and the same people who claimed that the police couldn't arrest them for breaching Covid laws because … Magna Carta.

Right?

Now, I wonder, who could be at the centre of all of these, so called, movements?

Do some Googling, Groking or whatever you use nowadays, and the name Tommy Robinson pops up amongst every group I just listed. He's always the loudhailer that amplifies this stuff.

The next question I have is — does Yaxley-Lennon do these things for free? Ha! Of course, he doesn't. So, who pays Tommy Robinson to act as a disruptor to peace in the UK?

Well, that pushes us into some murky territory — what is described as the grey zone by those in intelligence circles. This is from the UK Parliament website.

“Grey zone activities can include:

Disinformation and Propaganda: Spreading false narratives via social media or state-backed outlets to incite domestic unrest, as seen in Russia's amplification of anti-immigration content during the UK's 2024-2025 riots.”

Hmmm … does that sound familiar?

Let's just think about my little, non-exhaustive, list above — every single one has limited objective but to disrupt. There may have been a few of the less … let's say intellectually blessed, amongst those brandishing shoddy print-outs of the Magna Carta, that actually believed it.

But, for the most part, they understood that this was about challenging authority, pushing boundaries and seeing how far they could go. Same with cutting down ULEZ cameras. Same with making our streets look like a silver jubilee celebration from 1977.

Disruption is the name of the game.

Does Tommy Robinson work for Russia? Possibly. There are documented links, for sure. Does he work for Israel? Almost certainly. What is his job?

Yaxley-Lennon is a highly compensated disruptor, and quite likely, paid for by foreign states. He's the Poster Boy of Propaganda. The Desperado of Disinformation.

I know that this isn't new information, but it bears repeating. The man is a toxic mess and spreads hatred at every opportunity. It's no coincidence that the vitriol about the artwork in Canterbury Cathedral was hugely amplified/started by Robinson — disrupt.

He's the nexus of the far-right, receiving instructions from above that he then disseminates to his foot soldiers.

It will be interesting to see if he gets more prison time next week, but I doubt it. Then follows his much vaunted trip to the paymasters in Israel. What happens after that, we can only wait and see, but when UK politicians align themselves with this man, they are putting one foot into a place they need to be very careful of — the grey zone.

Have a lovely Sunday.

🐧UPDATE🐧

Well, well, well, well … well! Pressure does work.

Nigel Farage has started to declare his Register of Interests again.

He's definitely in breach, though, due to the received and declared dates being way over 28 days on multiple occasions.

To all the many thousands of Farage sycophants that went to the trouble of replying to my posts over the last week or so, trying to make out that he had stopped earning, or was somehow exempt … now what?

Your Dear Leader has to follow the rules like everyone else.

Now we wait for the media to report the glaring five/six month gap when he 'forgot' to declare. You can see in the spreadsheet that there's a huge gap.

It turns out there's another thing he's tried to copy from Trump, that hasn't worked … unaccountability.

By my reckoning, he's managed to put himself in breach of the rules five times in the most recent declaration:

a) GB News payment — £43,491.60 received on 31st July, declared on 3rd October.
b) GB News payment — £51,438.00 received on 29th August, declared on 3rd October.
c) Speaking Engagement for Imperial Independent Media — £6,493.11 received on 8th May, declared on 3rd October.*
d) Speaking Engagement — £6,493.11 received on 19th May, declared on 3rd October.
e) Speaking Engagement — £12,986.23 received on 10th June, declared on 3rd October.

* Farage has split this one single speaking engagement into three separate declarations. So actually it should show a single entry for £25,972.45. He states in the Register that he received it in three payments.

You can see that each one of those entries is in breach of the 28 days rule so he should be in line to make a Statement to the House and attend remedial training, at least.

Will he? Unlikely.

I am aware of several other speaking engagements that Farage has been involved in that do not appear in the Register, but I'll save them for next week.

Here's the updated spreadsheet that shows the massive gap in his declarations.

Have a great Friday. 😊

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

I wrote this yesterday in response to Zia Yusuf's lie that Farage was having to pay a million pounds for private security.

Why has Nigel Farage not entered a single pound in declared interests since May?

Today, I've gone through Nigel Farage's officially declared Register of Interests on the @UKParliament website.

In the last three months, we are being led to believe that Nigel Farage has ceased all outside earnings and donations.

Of course, this is not true. He is absolutely raking it in from multiple sources but, it seems, has just given up on reporting this income.

At the very least, we should be seeing his GB News salary and his social media income, but nope, nothing.

We know he travelled to Washington to appear at the House Judiciary Committee. Did he pay for that himself? Highly unlikely.

Something very strange is happening here. An elected MP with some serious questions over his finances, is, it appears, trying to hoodwink UK voters.

The Register is updated fortnightly, and MPs must register new additions or changes within 28 days of that occurrence. At the very least, Farage has missed two months worth of declarations.

Averaging out the previous 10 months and if we're being kind to say it's only two months missing, that works out at £177,690.78 undeclared income. Not a paltry sum to have 'mislaid'.

As a rule, an MP should be made to correct the register and make an apology if they are found to be in breach. Boris Johnson was a prime culprit for this and even had to attend remedial training as a punishment.

Look at my spreadsheet below, and you can see that there are big bunches of declarations in April but then, aside from one GB News payment, everything stops.

One image is a wide view of all of his interests, and the second is a closer look at where the payments halt.

What is going on here @ElectoralCommUK?

Why is this being allowed to run unchecked? Is there an investigation that we're not party to? Or is Farage really actually above the law?

It's bizarre and has the very distinct whiff of … well, you can decide what I was going to write there — I don't want to get sued!

As I wrote yesterday — Farage is not declaring his income.

Please feel free to tag anyone you think may be interested below.

This is agree huge story - odd it is getting so little coverage - far more of a threat to the UK security than asylum seekers on dinghies

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty & this tweet has been doing rounds today.

Now imagine my investigation into Russian interference hadn’t been crushed by lawfare, my news org had doubled down & carried on & govt had opened an inquiry as MPs demanded.

😢

Did we ever get to the bottom of Nigel Farage and his £800,000 Clacton House tax avoidance scandal?

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

If there was any justice in the UK, those identified in ITV's "The Covid Contracts: Follow The Money" would be in jail right now

Including Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak who created the scheme, doing away with regular checks and balances for government procurement creating the mechanism allowing for this fraud

The unusable PPE that was burnt was enough to hire 200,000 nurses

Why aren't taxpayers more angry at being robbed by all of the above?

Here are some highlights form the production. If you have the time, watch the full feature over on ITV
