"I voted for Brexit...despite it costing me money...to stop illegal immigration....Brexit has failed...I wish we'd stayed."
"I will [still] vote for Farage"
How the fuck do these people manage to get dressed by themselves?
Huge 'Raise the Colours' march in Shrewsbury captured by a small child's drone. Police confirm there were no arrests (they were too busy laughing) and estimate numbers attending in the 20's. Please don't share, it will upset flag shagging simpletons, who will just shout fake news. 😂
This is what elite, world-class investigative journalism looks like:
Carole Cadwalladr and her team at The Nerve have forensically stripped the mask off the British political establishment.
The pattern they found in The Harborne Receipts is nothing short of terrifying. Millions of pounds flow from a crypto-billionaire into the pockets of Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, and like clockwork, weeks later, those exact politicians start pushing laws to benefit the crypto industry.
It is the exact same playbook Donald Trump used in America. It is cash-for-policy, clear as day.
While the billionaire-owned press tries to distract us with culture wars and theatre, true journalists follow the money.
This is the toxic soil that is destroying our democracy from within.
Absolute honour to see her back in action!
Nigel Farage’s web of lies is falling apart in front of our eyes.
He took a secret £5M gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne.
First he claimed it was for personal security. Then a reward for Brexit. When the Guardian exposed it, suddenly Russian hackers stole his phone.
Yet he never reported any hack to the police. Labour had to do it for him.
Now Farage and Zia Yusuf are foaming at the mouth, threatening to purge the civil service and destroy careers if anyone dares investigate.
These are charlatans and grifters, dodgy as hell, conning decent British people. #FarageLies #ReformGrift #UKPolitics

Where are the so-called media? @BethRigby@Peston@bbclaurak@ChrisMasonBBC
There would be breaking news reports every 15 mins had it been Zack Polanski or Keir Starmer.
In Sept last year @thetimes columnist @matthewsyed wrote that “Operation Raise the Colours” was a sign that “we live in a great nation”. Any second thoughts now that the organisers have been arrested for violent crimes including murder?
The victims of abhorrent crimes deserve justice. All children need to have their innocence protected. Every single one of the perpetrators should face the full force of the law.
As you know, in 1997 the Channel 4 programme Despatches broadcast "Soccer's Foul Play" - it included allegations of sexual offences against children by former Southampton FC coach Robert Higgins.
Two decades later Higgins was convicted of sexually abusing young children and was sentenced to 24 years in prison.
Southampton FC commisisoned Barnardo's to conduct an independent review into Higgins, who worked for the club until 1989, in 2019. That report is here and makes sobering reading: https://t.co/PAJCOOBSxw
That review includes the response of the club to the allegations in the Despatches programme in 1997 (sections 244-250)
As this article from the BBC reveals, following the Despatches programme both Hampshire and Southampton social services consulted police and wrote to local youth organisations expressing concern about Higgins coaching boys. A joint letter urged parents to "make an informed choice about his contact with your child/ren"
https://t.co/QDidSCiMJE
That is an example of action taken following the Despatches programme in 1997 to reduce the risk of more children becoming victims of Higgins.
Section 248 of the Barnardo's report (image below) tells us that there is no record of the board of Southampton FC even discussing the allegations against Higgins, let alone evidence of them taking any action in relation to them.
You were chairman of Southampton FC in 1997 Rupert, having taken over the previous year. I've posted these questions several times now in the hope you'll acknowledge them but you never have and I suspect you never will:
Are any of these details incorrect in any way?
Why didn't the board you led have a minuted discussion of the allegations about Higgins revealed by the programme?
Given the serious nature of these allegations, why didn't you commission a review or inquiry into Higgins actions while at Southampton FC?
Given the conversations you've now had with victims of childhood sexual abuse, do you regret that you personally didn't do more to respond to the allegations made against Higgins in 1997?
Higgins convictions relate to crimes against 24 children. The Barnardo's report tell us they were left vulnerable to ongoing abuse by Higgins which impacted upon their lives as children and the adults they became. Those abused were offered no support and were "left to make sense for themselves of all that happened"
A shameful example of how a failure to act against a sexual abuser can have devestating consequences.
Reports of hostile state activity are incredibly serious.
Nigel Farage and Reform have failed to confirm whether they've reported the suspicions they raised that Farage's phone was hacked by Russia to either the @NCSC or @metpoliceuk.
National security must always come first - today @annaturley has reported this for thorough independent investigation by the proper authorities.
Once again Brexit chaos.
Whilst you queue Farage gets £5 million and a private helicopter, after promising you 🫵 everything will get better…

Well done @annaturley for reporting this extremely serious crime.
And @Nigel_Farage I do hope you appreciate the kindness shown to you by parliamentary colleague Anna in reporting the crime you stated was made against you. Go on Nigel, a thank you wouldn't come amiss would it
